"Recommended Treatment"

Upon discovering that he suffered from Peyronie's disease, the author of the article, Bill, did what most men would do – he immediately scheduled an appointment with his doctor. He was then referred to a urologist said to specialize in Peyronie's disease. The medical treatment options laid out for him included the following:

Verapamil Injections
A technique of injecting a drug called verapamil directly into the penis shaft. This is meant to break down the accumulation of plaque responsible for the unusual curvature of the penis.

Downside: Results are spotty at best and the injections are very painful.

Corporal Plication
A surgical operation in which two permanent sutures are embedded in the lining of the penis. These sutures are placed opposite to the curvature as a way of straightening the penile shaft.

Downside: Can result in a shortening of the penis.

Patch Corporoplasty
This procedure involves cutting the plaque into two sections by making an incision through the thickest part of the buildup. Once the curved section is divided, the incision is then patched together with a skin graft.

Downside: A chance of developing erectile dysfunction if the nerves or tissues are damaged during the surgery.

Bill elected to use the first method involving verapamil injections. After this treatment failed he then proceeded to the surgical option involving corporal plication. After 5 hours of surgery and a month of recovery, Bill's penis was once again free from curvature.

Natural Penile Traction

I found it a bit curious that a non-surgical and non-invasive method such as penis traction was not referenced. This particular method has not only demonstrated favorable results in numerous clinical studies, it's also been shown to increase the size of the penis, a more than favorable result in itself.

So why was this technique not mentioned as an alternative to these risky and often unsuccessful methods? Is it not a physician's obligation to his patient to reveal every manner of available treatment?

Maybe it's because a treatment that doesn't require medical intervention (or expensive health insurance) is somehow frowned upon by doctors. God-forbid there might be a solution to Peyronie's disease that doesn't involve cutting open a man's penis or injecting painful needles!

Perhaps it's because society as a whole has come to rely on the medical community as the most convenient response to health issues. We want our problems fixed immediately, regardless of the potential dangers involved. For those seeking immediate gratification, solutions such as penile traction which might take several months for results are simply too "troublesome."

Cautious Decision Making

I've always thought of surgery as a last resort, something to be considered only after all other resources have been exhausted. This same principal holds true for penis enlargement surgery. The inherent risks involved with surgical penis augmentation, not to mention the enormous costs, makes this the least desirable option.

I personally subscribe to a philosophy of safety first. Whether your goal is to fix a bent penis or increase your length and girth, choosing a method that doesn't put your health in danger should be foremost in your decision making. Penis traction devices may not provide immediate results but they do get the job done. And in the end, finishing the race first isn't nearly as important as finishing safely.

Sexual Health Issues

The sad fact of the matter is that nearly all men will at some point in their lives experience a sexual health issue. Whether it's a problem with controlling orgasm (premature ejaculation) or the inability to achieve and maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction), these sorts of issues continue to plague men of all ages and nationalities.

For some sufferers the root of sexual dysfunction is psychological in nature. Things such as depression, stress or lack of self-confidence can all contribute to problems with performance. Others however can attribute the problem to an actual physical condition.

Regardless of the cause, it is within the grasp of all men to avoid these issues by properly conditioning and strengthening the penis. The use of a medically proven penis traction device is one way to ensure that these problems disappear or never occur in the first place!

Penile Traction Devices

Just as the muscles of the body can be trained to become more muscular and firm, so too can the penis be conditioned to improve it's functioning. While the penis itself does not contain muscle, the soft tissues from which it is comprised are capable of being stretched and strengthened with proper stimulation. Not only can this regular training increase your size by up to 30%, it also results in increased blood flow, stronger erections and better ejaculation control.

Certified penis traction devices such as the one sold by SizeGenetics are specifically designed to provide for this type of stimulation and growth. Worn for approximately 2-4 hours per day, these devices help promote natural tissue growth using a traction method similar to that used by orthopedic surgeons.

The use of a traction device is one of the most effective and efficient ways to improve the overall health of your penis. For those suffering from conditions like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, the traction method is a sure-fire solution to end sexual problems once and for all!

The Science Behind Penile Traction

At first glance, most men will intuitively understand how a penis extender device works. The penis is placed in a device that stretches it and makes it longer over time. But how does this help to increase penis width?

To understand how penis extenders increase width, you need to know how traction works and the direct effect it has on the tissues of the body itself. In reality, this method goes far beyond the physical stretching that is observed by the naked eye.

Increasing Penis Width

When the penis is subjected to a continuous stretch, the body begins to open up small spaces between cells. These gaps are then filled in as adjacent cells start to undergo division. As these cells multiply, the tissue mass they comprise begins to increase as well. This results in an overall development of both the length and width of the penis.

While it might sound complicated, the entire process really only relies on the human body's natural ability to adjust and develop under direct physical stimulation. We call it growth, but it's actually just a healing reaction that enables the penis to become larger.

Remember, the penis is not like clay to be simply molded and stretched. It is comprised of living and breathing tissue that can and will react to outside forces. This is fortunate because nobody would want a 9 inch penis that was as thick as a pencil! Adding girth as well as length is what makes penis extenders one of the most effective natural penis enlargement solutions available today.

Men suffering from a bend in the penis have a reason to rejoice. Prior to these findings, the only known reliable treatment for this disorder was through surgery.

Perhaps even more exciting, the use of penis traction devices has shown to actually increase penis size. Those unhappy with their current measurement can now effectively enlarge their penis through the use of such devices from the privacy of their own home.

Background of the Study

The study was conducted between researchers from the Department of Urology at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL and the Medway Research Institute in North Augusta, SC. A group of ten men suffering from Peyronies Disease, most having failed prior medical therapy, participated in the study while using the penis extender device from FastSize. Traction force applied by the device was used as the only treatment for 2-8 hours per day for a period of 6 months.

Results of Penile Traction Therapy

"Subjectively all men noted reduced curvature estimated at 10–40 degrees, increased penile length (1–2.5 cm) and enhanced girth in areas of indentation or narrowing. Objective measures demonstrated reduced curvature in all men from 10–45 degrees; average reduction for the group was 33% (51–34 degrees). SPL increased 0.5–2.0 cm and erect girth increased 0.5–1.0 cm with correction of hinge effect in four out of four men."

Documented Scientific Evidence

Finally we have some irrefutable proof that natural penis enlargement can and does work! Of course I don't expect that the mainstream media will be reporting on this anytime soon. Aside from the occasional talk show or magazine article, news regarding these types of devices is particularly sparse. It's almost as if there's a silent conspiracy to keep important information such as this 'under wraps' while the pharmaceutical industries and plastic surgeons continue to reap huge profits.

For those detractors that say an additional 1 inch in length and almost 1/2 inch in thickness is insignificant, I can only say that perhaps it is to YOU. There are plenty of men out there that would be overjoyed to learn that they can improve the size of their penis through natural means.

It should also be noted that this study involved only the use of a penis extender by itself. It did not combine the treatment with a highly effective penis exercise program as is common with some of the more complete penis enlargement solutions such as SizeGenetics. Men who have used both methods in conjunction have reported gains of up to several inches in size.

In the meantime, we will continue to report and research the latest findings in natural penis enlargement and bring that information to our readers. To paraphrase the words of former astronaut Neil Armstrong, "this is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!"
