NEW YORK – New study says penis extensions do not work and can be risky.
The study, published in the journal Sexual Medicine Reviews, included a meta-analysis of 1,192 men screened in 17 different studies involving 21 surgical and non-surgical procedures aimed at increasing penis size.
According to the study, procedures to increase penis size were not effective and often resulted in complications.
In non-surgical treatments, when using extenders, some have increased in length – but less than 2 cm, or 0.79 inches. Procedures using injectables "increased circumference but were associated with a high complication rate." Procedures using a vacuum device "have not increased in size," says the study.
In surgical treatments including the suspensory ligament incision, tissue graft, dermal fat and penile disassembly, some men "have reported a significant increase in size. But none of the techniques has been successfully verified by other parties and "complications were not uncommon," says the study.
"The treatment of small penises in normal men is supported by rare evidence and poor quality," the study said.
The study recommended that "injectables and surgery should remain a last option" to increase penis size.
