The condition treated by penile implant surgery.
Cock rings are constrictive devices worn at the base of the penis, or around the penis and scrotum together, that can make erections firmer, larger in appearance, and longer lasting while also enhanci...
Penis pumps (vacuum erection devices) are effective, evidence-backed tools for creating and maintaining temporary erections and can aid rehabilitation after prostate surgery, but they generally do not...
Vacuum erection devices (VEDs) are an effective, noninvasive option for many men with erectile dysfunction (ED), but there are clear clinical situations in which they are discouraged or require extrem...
Exercise and broader healthy-lifestyle changes can reduce or reverse the common causes of perceived penile shrinkage—chiefly obesity, poor circulation and smoking—by improving cardiovascular health an...
Age-related penile shrinkage (penile atrophy) has multiple causes and is sometimes reversible: treatments exist that can slow, partly reverse, or compensate for loss of length depending on the cause, ...
Two large, investigator-measured meta-analyses and their downstream summaries place average erect penile length in the low-to-mid 13 cm range and cluster the 90th percentile around ~15.2 cm and the 95...
Vacuum erection devices (VEDs) are non‑invasive tools that reliably produce erections and are used clinically for penile rehabilitation, but the literature shows they do not meaningfully increase perm...
Three-piece inflatable penile prostheses (3-piece IPPs) are widely regarded as the gold standard because they provide the most natural erection and flaccidity, but they carry a higher mechanical-compl...
Long‑term use of penile traction therapy (PTT) and vacuum erection devices (VEDs) is generally framed in the literature as a low‑risk, non‑invasive option for conditions such as Peyronie’s disease and...
Vacuum erection devices (VEDs) are a longstanding, non‑pharmacologic option that reliably produces erections by mechanically increasing penile blood inflow and are especially valuable in penile rehabi...
Medications and medical conditions can interfere with each phase of the male sexual response—desire, arousal (erection), orgasm/ejaculation (emission and expulsion), and resolution—by altering hormone...
Vacuum erection devices (VEDs) are an effective, non‑invasive treatment for erectile dysfunction and for penile rehabilitation after prostate surgery, but they carry specific risks and clear contraind...
Urologists approach medication-induced penile shortening by first distinguishing mechanism—vascular hypoxia and fibrosis from androgen-deprivation or radiotherapy, neural or anatomic change after pros...
The published evidence linking phosphodiesterase‑5 (PDE5) inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) to non‑arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is mixed: epidemiologic meta‑analys...
Major urology societies uniformly endorse vacuum erection devices (VEDs) as a legitimate, non‑invasive option in the management of erectile dysfunction and as part of penile rehabilitation after radic...
Medically proven, safe increases in penis size are limited: surgical procedures can produce measurable gains but carry significant risks and are generally reserved for specific medical indications suc...
A cluster of empirical studies led by Costa, Miller and Brody found that women who report preferring deeper penile–vaginal stimulation and longer-than-average penises also report higher rates of orgas...
Vacuum erection devices (VEDs) mechanically draw blood into the corpora cavernosa, reliably increasing penile tissue oxygenation after radical prostatectomy and thereby interrupting a hypoxia-driven c...
Clinical literature frames vacuum erection devices (VEDs) as a therapeutic tool designed to prevent hypoxia‑driven cavernosal fibrosis after nerve or arterial injury such as radical prostatectomy, not...
Penis pumps (vacuum erection devices) are widely used short-term treatments for erectile dysfunction and usually produce temporary side effects such as bruising, numbness, skin petechiae, swelling and...
