Can Penile Traction Devices Really Make Your Penis Bigger?

do you want to make your penis longer I'm Dr Reena Malik urologist and pelvic surgeon and today we're going to talk about an option that helps you increase penal length it's called traction devices now these are devices that are designed to not only increase penal length but they can also help with a condition called ponis disease where you develop a curvature due to penal plaques now these devices work on the principle of what's called mechanotransduction and this is the process by which cells convert mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals so in simpler terms when we apply controlled prolonged stretching to tissues it can stimulate cell growth and remodeling and so in Peron disease which is due to PLA and scar formation in What's called the Tunica alenia or the covering of the erectile tissues this is actually meant to work by consistent gentle tension that's meant to break down the tough scar tissue and promote the growth of healthier more flexible tissue now the good news is that these are typically coste effective they have minimal pretty well tolerated side effects things like numbness potentially pain and bruising and if you're using it correctly those side effects go down quite a bit now in this video we're going to review three different traction devices that have all been studied scientifically in the literature but in general traction devices work by grasping the head of the penis and using a stabilizing ring at the base of the penis with rods in between and the penis is then stretched and the penis stretch for periods of time and this the length at which you're stretching essentially creates the force and that's gradually increased over time now traction Protocols are really variable but typically they require several hours of wear over weeks and months however one of the devices we're going to talk about has been stated to work in as little as two sessions of 30 minutes a day do these actually work well when looking at studies done on pyron's disease there have been about 10 studies and they've evaluated a variety of different traction devices on anywhere from 10 to 82 men for sometime between 1 and a half hours to 5 hours per day and they saw an improvement in these groups of a stretch penut length from anywhere from 3 cm to 1.5 CM an improvement in the curvature from 4° to as high as 31° and two of the devices we're going to review here the P Master Pro and the restorx showed the best outcomes in terms of treating poni disease now in terms of looking at P length so guys who have normal penises no Scar Tissue there have been three major studies and they used one of the devices we're going to look at today called the andropenis and one called the Golden XL now they studed a total of 88 patients over released three studies and saw an increase in stretched penel length which is essentially a surrogate of erect length of 1.3 to 1.7 cm and they Ed the device in these studies for up to 6 hours a day for 6 months and one of the studies even followed patients up to one year meaning they used the device for 6 months and then they stopped and so they measured them after 6 months of not using the device and they saw that they maintained the change in length now again this is only after a year we don't know of two three years down the road it would still be maintained and it's crucial to realize that these studies do show promise but we probably need more extensive research to understand the long-term effects and what is the optimal usage of these devices now many studies report issues with patient compliance obviously it takes a long amount of time and commitment to use these devices there's also an issue with cost and availability now with the adment of the internet you can usually get them online but they are not covered by insurance and for some people they may be too costly and again as I mentioned the quality of evidence is not really high quality but certainly there is evidence to support their role and as I mentioned the side effects are generally low particularly if you're using them as suggested all right let's start off with the androp penis gold now this is marketed as a medical penis enlarger and it claims to increase length by up to 4 cm or 1.6 in and girth by 1.5 CM or or 6 in and the recommended usage is anywhere between 4 to 9 hours daily over 6 to 9 months so there was a study using this device that recruited 96 men with pyroian disease and half used the traction device and half didn't and these were not randomized they essentially chose to use it or didn't and they use it for an average of 4.6 hours per day and they saw an average gain of 1.5 cm in stretched penal length and the placebo group actually had a loss which is not uncommon in Pyon disease they also saw their curvature improved by 20° while the control group had an increase in 23° in their curvature here is the androp penis gold penis enlargement device it comes in this little box and it has a little handy ruler on the end of the box so it comes a little bag there to carry things obviously instruction manual uh the device itself and some accessories extension rods as well as protective cushions as well as two different types of silicone bands so here are the main pieces this is a plastic base as well as the plastic support the plastic base is going to face your body and go around the penis you want to essentially measure your penis at its fully stretched or rrect length then you have these extension pieces that you can use to base on your size so once you measure your penis you want to essentially pick the length that is about 4 cm shorter than your total length these are the silicone bands that are protective you want to place the cushion on top of the silicone piece there in the center so it provides cushioning to your penis with the ends of the silicone band you want to put them through the holes of that plastic piece because this is what's going to secure your penis in place when you have the traction device set up then you connect your extension rods into that upper piece remember the thin plastic part of the ring is going to go towards your face or towards the top of your body when you put your penis inside so here we have our sample penis you put your penis in through the device you find out where it's going to stretch and then you essentially insert the head just so that this cushion is going to be right around where the ridge of the glands is and then you'll tighten those silicone bands there is this little place to secure the band so they stay in place and then in their instruction manual they actually have a duration that you should be doing it starting at 3 hours for the first 5 days 6 hours for days 6 to 10 and you can sort of bend it down or bend it up towards your body and wear underneath your clothes now the value is that comes with a bunch of comfort accessories it's about $179 right now as of the making of this video but the cons is again this is a really significant time commitment and some users did report difficulty wearing the device for really extended periods of time and so then they're seeing inconsistent results so for example one user reported that they increased their panal length by 1.9 in and they said my girlfriend is amazed to see how much much longer my penis has grown however other users have seen some side effects or no change at all after using the device the Pam Master Pro so the PanAm Master Pro has two options it has the rod expander as well as a belt system and it differs because it uses suction to keep the head of the penis in place rather than grasping it with some sort of clasp and this allows for a little bit more Comfort compared to the other options in terms of studies there was a random I multi- Center study of 93 patients who had stable Pyon disase mean they were not changing in terms of curvature and they saw an overall increase in length by 1.8 cm and a change in curvature by 31.2 De less curvature they used it on average for 5.2 hours but they did notice that when they use the device for Less say less than 4 hours a day they still saw an improvement but it was only 19° compared to when you used it for more than 6 hours you had a curvature reduction of 38° so again the more you use it the more benefit you're going to see but you will still see a benefit if you use it for less time this is a Pam Master Pro comes with a ton of accessories but don't get overwhelmed because you don't need to do anything with these right the second com with the storage bag which again I always appreciate so it comes in several different boxes the first box has instruction manuals and videos this is a strap which you can use to use the traction device as a wearable option that's a little bit a different variation here we have our main piece as well as the extenders and here's some extra accessories as well as the lubricating gel the ball pump valve and the piece that goes over the glands and these all have fancy names but ultimately you just to know it goes on your glands okay so here's the main piece very similar to the andropenis and this is the piece that goes over the gland sorry it's a little bit blurry so first you want to place some gel on the head of the penis as well as on the inside of your piece that's going to go on the glands so now here's the important part it comes with this ball and they have groups that you squeeze down the ball you attach the device and you twist after you've attached it keep holding that ball down put the head of the penis right at the opening and then let go of the air and it should pull the penis and head of the penis into the device without you having to push or anything it should just sort of pull it in and then you just pull off the bulb here by a Twist and you see it's still very snug and in place so similar to the other device you're going to put your penis through the device and that little piece on the top of the gland holder is going to fit right into that Groove you hear that snap and then again you would face this on your size so it would keep traction on the penis you can again put this up towards your belly down and again Underneath Your Clothes now this glance piece comes all assembled so when you go in into the instruction manual they'll say oh add all these things it's already assembled when you get it so there's really not much you need to do unless you need to change the size of the inner workings so this is a strap that you can use in addition to it instead of using the device you can use the strap which allows you to CL clip it in place and then it has a whole bunch of securement locations so you can wear it around your shoulder or strap it around your leg and have tension based on how much you're pulling the actual strap then once you're done with the device you just reattach the bulb and twist and that will let go of the suction and your penis will come out without any issues now the pros of this is it can be used in various different ways sometimes you can wear it during physical activities or even at bedtime it can be worn under the clothing or even during sleep now the cons are some people do find it to be complex to use and some people struggle with the vacuum seal and suction problems with that glands device now it does if you're using the weights max out at 1.2 kg which might not be sufficient for all users it costs about $260 to $468 depending on which one you use at the record time of recording this video when you look at user reviews some people say it's really comfortable but other people feel like it's pretty cumbersome to use and when it works it's great and when it doesn't it's a little bit of a struggle another person reported that they got 0.5 in after about 4 months of use which sort of makes sense based on the findings in the study with this device all right next up is restorx so restorx is a traction device that was developed at the Mayo Clinic and it's specifically designed for Pon disease and penal lengthening now this one works a little bit differently in that it's meant to angle the penis opposite wherever the curvature is to create a counter traction and allow you to sort of break up that plaque now the recommended usage for this is only two 30 minute sessions a day for 12 weeks so very different than the other devices I would also argue that the science behind MRX is more robust compared to the other devices we've discussed however they've all studied their devices in scientific literature now this study was studied in 2019 in the Journal of sexual medicine and it specifically looked at the effects of restorx after 3 months of use anywhere between 30 to 90 minutes a day and they saw an average of 11.7 Dee reduction in curvature and a 1 6 cm increase in length compared to an increase in curvature actually of 1.3 de in the control group all right this is restorx this is the box that comes in here you see instruction manuals the main device body which we're going to go over protective tape and extension rods if you need to extend longer and again with any of these devices you're going to measure your stretch penile length first to determine what the size is and based on your stretch length for for the restorx to tell you exactly what Rod length you should be using here's the main device it comes completely essentially unstretched so before measuring your glands they give you this special it's called coband type tape that sort of sticks to your skin and will help protect your skin from any injury so you want to put that on very Loosely you don't want to put it too tight um and you obviously want to take it off when you're done using it be careful with those scissors near your genitals obviously and then you want to place your glands penis or the head of the penis into the device and you see there's those little Jagged edges on the side and that can allow you to go tighter or less tight depending on what is going to be most comfortable for you and you want to make sure you push that blue back to the other side and then that will attach and you can see I just put one click and it's pretty comfortable and snug in there and again you can always take it out by pushing the blue a button on the top you can reattach that so now you know and then you insert your penis in into the device again through the circle you again attach the glands into the holder and then you can essentially and see that was not tight enough the penis actually fell out let's do try that again so anytime it's too tight or uncomfortable you you can always push the blue button on the bottom side like that to release tension then again you can hold the ring and slowly add tension and it will go through the different notches on the ex extension bands or the standard rods there now if you have poni disease you can turn this device away from the curvature of the penis to help reduce that curvature and so for those who do have any sort of curvature this is a great device because of the ability to turn it or Flex it once you store it you want to make sure there's no attention on the device and you can store that so this device cost $525 as of the taping of this video the proart has a strong scientific backing as I mentioned before they're very committed to evidence-based science it does offer less daily usage time and I find that their website gives you a very nice protocol and lots of videos to follow it does have a very specific design for pyron's disease meaning it extends and rotates which then targets the areas of plaque that are really needed now cons are that it can be uncomfortable now this is one that I've actually prescribed to a lot of patients and some like it and some say that they notice that it's a little bit uncomfortable the clamping on the penis and also it's a little bit more expensive than the other ones so I've talked about paron dises before on the podcast with uh Dr Jesse Mills so make sure you check out that as well as I've made YouTube videos here about ponus disease so if you want to learn more about that condition make sure you do that now before you go I want to talk about some of the common myths about traction therapy that people believe now first off people think that traction devices can dramatically increase penis size overnight and the reality is that any gains that you're going to get are very gradual and require consistent use over months if you're not someone who can stick to a routine and be consistent then this is not the device for you myth number two is that these devices are a cure all for all penol issues now while they do show promise for certain conditions like Pyon disease and potentially increasing length they're not a universal solution number three traction devices are completely risk-free now while I said these are generally safe when used correctly they can cause discomfort and potentially temporary side effect like numbness and bruising because of the traction on the nerves lastly myth number four more tension means better results and actually excessive tension will cause nerve injuries so it's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines more is not better listen to your body so if you're considering a penal traction device make sure of course to talk to your urologist especially if you have a specific condition like peroid disease and learn about all the options or at least watch my videos and be realistic about the expectations the results are pretty modest and again they require consistent use start slowly and gradually and increase usage as recommended by the manufacturer and again I can't stress this enough pay attention to your body if it hurts or you're feeling weird symptoms stop using it and talk to your doctor and lastly choose a device that fits your lifestyle if it's not something that you're going to use because you really don't have 6 hours to hang out and do this then really that's off the device for you I hope you guys found this helpful I do recommend penal traction devices in men who have peran disease or want to increased penal length because they're relatively safe they're easy to do in terms of like they're not very cumbersome and they can work I do realize there's a cost component but if you're someone who is really wanting to fix this issue minimally invasively without surgery I think it's really a great option as long as it fits your budget
