Executive summary

There are no references to “macrophallia” or diagnostic thresholds for penile size in the provided urology sources; the search results instead concern hematuria, bladder and prostate cancer guidelines and urology meetings (available sources do not mention macrophallia) [1] [2] [3]. Because the supplied materials focus on genitourinary oncology and hematuria guideline updates, this file cannot supply diagnostic criteria, measurement methods, or cutoffs for penile enlargement (not found in current reporting) [1] [2] [3].

1. Missing topic where reviewers would expect it — no “macrophallia” in guideline literature

Major recent urology guideline and society outputs in the provided search set — including AUA guideline updates on microhematuria and European Association of Urology guideline summaries on bladder cancer — make no mention of a diagnostic entity called “macrophallia” or any standardized measurement thresholds for penile hypertrophy; available sources do not mention diagnostic criteria or measurement thresholds for penile size [1] [2] [3].

2. What the supplied sources actually cover — hematuria and GU oncology focus

The documents and summaries returned by these queries concentrate on microhematuria evaluation (AUA/SUFU 2025 update), bladder cancer (EAU 2025 summary), and prostate/oncology diagnostics — topics far removed from congenital or acquired penile-size disorders. For example, the AUA microhematuria guideline update provides a clinical framework for hematuria diagnosis and follow-up but does not extend to non-urinary structural diagnoses such as penile measurements [3] [1] [2].

3. Why the absence matters — scope and specialty boundaries

Major guideline-producing bodies (AUA, EAU, NCCN, national associations) publish condition-specific guidance within defined scopes; their recent outputs in the provided set address urinary bleeding and cancer staging rather than genital morphology. The absence of macrophallia in these materials likely reflects scope rather than denial of the condition: available sources simply do not address genital-size diagnostic standards [1] [2] [3].

4. Where authoritative diagnostic criteria would normally appear

When a clear diagnostic threshold exists for an anatomic variation, it appears in specialty guidelines, consensus statements, or major reviews (examples in this set include guideline updates on hematuria and cancer staging). Because those canonical outlets here focus on different problems, one cannot infer diagnostic cutoffs for penile size from them; the supplied materials lack reviews or consensus on genital measurement [3] [2].

5. Measurement methodology — what to expect from proper sources (not in these documents)

Clinically meaningful measurement standards for anatomic size typically specify measurement position (stretched vs. flaccid), instrumentation, and reference cutoffs derived from population studies; such methodology — if it exists for penile dimensions — would be published as a dedicated urology or sexual medicine guideline or large normative study. The provided search results contain no such methodological guidance (available sources do not mention measurement methodology for penile size) [1] [3].

6. Recommended next steps — where to look for authoritative criteria

To get an evidence-based diagnostic definition of macrophallia, consult specialty literature outside the supplied set: penile anatomy and sexual medicine textbooks, peer‑reviewed normative anthropometric studies, and position statements from sexual medicine or andrology societies (not in the current result set). The AUA, EAU or national sexual medicine associations’ guideline pages would be logical next stops; the current search returns only AUA hematuria and EAU bladder-cancer materials [1] [2] [3].

Limitations and transparency statement

This analysis is constrained exclusively to the supplied search results. Those sources do not contain any mention of “macrophallia,” diagnostic criteria, or measurement thresholds for penile size; therefore I have not invented or extrapolated criteria beyond what the sources show [1] [2] [3]. If you want a factual, citation-backed summary of diagnostic thresholds, provide sources that address penile measurement or permit a broader literature search beyond the documents supplied here.
