Has anyone read the study? I think the journalist hasn't read it, because it says the penile extenders are the first option and they increase the flaccid length… surgery is very expensive and penis extenders are cheap and effective. A pilot phase-II prospective study to test the 'efficacy' and tolerability of a penile-extender device in the treatment of 'short penis'. BJU Int. 2009 Mar;103(6):793-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1464-410X.2008.08083.x. Epub 2008 Oct 16. RESULTS: After 6 months the mean gain in length was significant, meeting the goals of the effect size, at 2.3 and 1.7 cm for the flaccid and stretched penis, respectively. No significant changes in penile girth were detected. The EF domain scores improved significantly at the end of study. Treatment satisfaction scores were consistent with acceptable to good improvement in all items, except for penile girth, where the score was either 'no change' or 'mild improvement'. CONCLUSIONS: Penile extenders should be regarded as a minimally invasive and effective treatment option to elongate the penile shaft in patients seeking treatment for a short penis.
