“…In the literature there are few case reports for self-injection for penile augmentation. However most of these were treated with surgical procedures except of three ones ( [17][18][19] HBOT is an adjuvant wound therapy that has been suggested to be beneficial for the healing of wounds for over 40 years. 20 Oxygen (O 2 ) is distributed to the tissues through the pressure gradient; tissue hyper-oxygenation has anti-inflammatory and painkilling effects, it increases bacterial permeability to antibiotics, strengthens neoangiogenesis, reinforces lymphocytes and macrophages function, augments testosterone secretion (in males), and finally enhances wound healing process.…”
