Can penile weights cause permanent nerve or tissue damage?

can cause nerve and tissue damage; the medical literature and clinical commentaries repeatedly warn that uncontrolled stretching or compression risks scarring, loss of sensation, vascular compromise a...

What are the biological mechanisms by which sustained mechanical traction induces tissue remodeling in penile tissue?

Penile traction induces tissue remodeling through mechanotransduction: sustained longitudinal strain is sensed by cells in the tunica albuginea and corpora cavernosa, triggering biochemical cascades t...

How do penile extenders compare with pumps for long-term length gains in peer‑reviewed studies?

Peer‑reviewed studies show penile traction devices (extenders) can produce small but measurable long‑term flaccid and stretched length gains—typically under 2 cm with greater gains tied to longer dail...
