Current practice in 2025 treats PSA thresholds after radical prostatectomy differently depending on the guideline and assay sensitivity: , and timing of measurement (waiting ~3 months) affects interpr...
Urologists do not endorse manual “girth exercises” such as jelqing as effective or safe; the medical consensus is that , so clinical options focus on device-assisted therapies, injections, and surgery...
Early initiation of penile rehabilitation—either with vacuum erectile devices (VEDs) or chronic/regular phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors (PDE5‑Is)—is plausibly associated with better preservation of str...
After radical prostatectomy, most authorities say PSA should fall to very low or undetectable levels within weeks to a few months; commonly cited benchmarks are “undetectable” or 0.2 ng/mL), and clini...
Jelqing and similar manual penis‑enlargement exercises lack reliable scientific evidence of permanent size increases and carry documented risks; medical organizations and recent reviews urge caution a...
When prostate-specific antigen (PSA) rises after radical prostatectomy, major specialty guidelines and recent studies conclude that , with consensus language endorsing offering SRT at or below commonl...
After radical prostatectomy, major guidelines and expert bodies expect PSA to fall to undetectable levels within weeks to a few months and use low numerical thresholds and serial rises to define bioch...
A focused set of recommendations for genital photography—covering consent, positioning, lighting, framing, documentation, storage and permitted uses—has been proposed in specialty literature to make p...
Social-media health hoaxes about erectile dysfunction (ED) spread through platform dynamics—short-form videos, influencer reach, and algorithmic amplification—combined with commercial incentives and l...
Independent urology experts evaluate treatments primarily through peer-reviewed reviews, specialty journals, and society guidelines; major review outlets such as Nature Reviews Urology and Current Uro...
Prostate massage requires careful hygiene and clinical caution: guidelines in clinical practice and consumer health outlets consistently emphasize thorough handwashing, trimmed/clean nails, use of lub...
No U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval exists specifically for non‑surgical penile girth enlargement; the only FDA‑cleared device for cosmetic penile enhancement in the sources is a surgi...
The American Urological Association (AUA) and the European Association of Urology (EAU) continue to anchor the clinical definition of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy at a PSA ...
Salvage radiotherapy (sRT) planning should synthesize PSA kinetics (especially PSA doubling time), PSMA-PET findings, pathologic Gleason Grade Group, and margin status to stratify risk, decide on targ...
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) — oral drugs such as sildenafil — are the evidence‑based, guideline‑recommended first‑line pharmacologic treatment for most men with erectile dysfunction (E...
Ultrasensitive PSA (uPSA) assays lower analytical detection limits from the conventional ~0.1–0.2 ng/mL down to the 0.003–0.001 ng/mL range in some platforms; manufacturers and reviews report lower li...
Clinically supported, non‑surgical traction and device-based regimens show the clearest, limited evidence for modest length gains (roughly 0.5–1.0 in./1.3–2.5 cm in some studies), while injectable fil...
If PSA remains elevated after treated prostatitis, major guidelines and reviews recommend repeating PSA to confirm elevation, considering symptom review and infection workup, then using MRI and risk s...
Salvage radiotherapy (SRT) works best when PSA is low: multiple guideline reviews and cohort studies show improved biochemical-relapse–free and metastasis-free survival when SRT is given at lower PSA ...
After radical prostatectomy the expected serum PSA level is , generally reported as below the assay detection limit (commonly <0.1 ng/mL), while clinical guidelines define biochemical recurrence at hi...
