Does Traction Help a Bent Member?
by John Dugan OwnerThe appearance of a guy’s member can be a
matter of great concern to a man. Every guy wants to sport a handsome male
organ, and so men may spend time admiring or worrying over their manhood. A
frequent concern occurs when the member is curved; a certain amount of
curvature may be considered attractive, but when a man has a severely bent
member, it may cause anguish. And beyond the physical appearance, a really bent
member can be a male organ
health issue. When the curvature is extreme enough to cause pain or
interfere with sensual functioning, steps may need to be taken to address the
issue. One strategy is using a traction device to help lessen the curvature.
But is this a medically sound option?
Peyronie’s
disease
Often
when a bent member is severely affected, a man may be diagnosed with Peyronie’s
disease. Named after the doctor who first described the condition, Peyronie’s
disease is generally caused when the member experiences trauma or injury. This
may be a direct blow to the member, as when a baseball traveling at great speed
hits the midsection, or it may come about from the manhood being handled too
roughly during sensual activity. In the latter, the condition is likely to
result from repeated instances of rough handling.
When
the member is injured, a small amount of scar tissue, called plaque, forms as
part of the healing process. If the injury is large enough, or if repeated
trauma causes more layers of scar tissue to form on top of each other, it can
result in curving. This occurs because the plaque lacks the elasticity of
regular manhood tissue. So when the member becomes firm, the damaged side of
the manhood can’t stretch as far as the other side, causing the organ to
bend.
In
some cases, this causes pain when the member becomes firm. It also may bring
about tumescence dysfunction. If the curvature is severe enough, it may
preclude the possibility of sensual activity.
Treatment
In a
small number of cases (usually of the milder variety), Peyronie’s goes away
without treatment. And in some cases, the degree of curvature is not
severe enough to require treatment.
But
in other cases, a doctor may recommend a number of treatments. These range from
oral medications to injections to surgery. One option sometimes recommended is
traction.
Traction
Most
treatments for a severely bent member haven’t undergone rigorous clinical
trials, so assessing their effectiveness is difficult. But at least one trial
involving manhood traction therapy showed promise. Involving 55 men with
Peyronie’s disease, the study found an average decrease in curvature of 20
degrees; plaque disappeared in 48% of the patients. And the rate of those
unable to achieve penetration fell from 62% to 20%.
For
the study, the men used a traction device, often called a male organ extender.
The device attaches at the base of the member and again underneath the head. It
is then extended, pulling and stretching the manhood. The men in the study were
instructed to wear the device for 6-9 hours each day for 6 months.
Based
on the results of this study, it seems that traction may be an option for some
men with a very bent member. However, there are drawbacks; not all men
responded to the treatment, and there is some degree of pain and discomfort
associated with member stretching.
Men
with Peyronie’s should definitely consult with a doctor to see if they should
consider any kind of treatment.
Whether
or not using traction to treat a bent member, men should be sure to use a
superior male organ health crème (health professionals recommend
Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) to
keep the manhood in good health. One with vitamin C is especially urged, as
this vitamin helps produce collagen, which in turn supports male organ
elasticity. Also welcome in a crème is L-arginine, which can help restore
manhood sensitivity after rough handling.
