Can combining a penis pump with traction therapy produce permanent changes?

Penile traction therapy (PTT) has randomized and observational data showing modest, often persistent gains in length and improvements in curvature for men with Peyronie’s disease or post‑prostatectomy...

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...

What randomized data compare different daily wear durations of penile traction therapy (minutes vs hours)?

Randomized, controlled trials demonstrate that modern penile traction therapy (PTT) devices can produce clinically meaningful improvements using short daily sessions of 30–90 minutes, but there are no...

How effective are penile traction devices for Peyronie’s disease versus penile lengthening?

Penile traction devices (PTDs) for Peyronie’s disease (PD) deliver modest, clinically meaningful reductions in curvature and small but inconsistent increases in penile length in selected patients, wit...

What are common short-term and long-term complications of penile traction therapy?

Penile traction therapy (PTT) is generally reported as a well-tolerated, noninvasive option for men with Peyronie’s disease and post-prostatectomy penile shortening, with most trials documenting only ...
