Michael Phillips, the South Carolina man who has turned a private medical diagnosis into a public campaign against body shaming, says he has booked a penile-enhancement procedure after supporters donated almost £9,560 ($12,797) through GoFundMe.

The 38-year-old's crowdfunding appeal is now at the centre of a story that began with television and online interviews about the condition he says affects his confidence, dating life and ability to urinate.
