As of 2013, the majority of research investigating the use of penile traction focuses on treating the curvature and shrinkage of the penis as a result of Peyronie's disease, although some literature exists on the effects on men with short penises. [31] Scientific evidence supports some elongation by prolonged traction. [2]
Peyronie's disease is a connective tissue disorder involving the growth of fibrous plaques in the soft tissue of the penis. Specifically, scar tissue forms in the tunica albuginea , the thick sheath of tissue surrounding the corpora cavernosa , causing pain, abnormal curvature, erectile dysfunction , indentation, loss of girth and shortening.
Peyronie’s disease is sometimes called “curved privates disease” or simply “curvature” because the scar tissue (or plaque) causes the privates to bend when aroused.
A penile implant is an implanted device intended for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, ischemic priapism, deformity and any traumatic injury of the penis, and for phalloplasty or metoidioplasty, including in gender-affirming surgery. Men also opt for penile implants for aesthetic purposes.

A penis extender is an external medical device with tentative evidence as of 2019 for Peyronie's disease. It acts as a mechanical, traction device that stretches the human penis in the flaccid state to make it longer. [1]
Ultrasound is an excellent method for the study of the penis, such as indicated in trauma, priapism, erectile dysfunction or suspected Peyronie's disease. [1] Ultrasound is an imaging modality that, in addition to being well tolerated and widely available, is considered an excellent method for the evaluation of many penile diseases.
A male genital disease is a condition that affects the male reproductive system. The human male genitals consist of testicles and epididymides , ductus deferentes , seminal vesicles and ejaculatory ducts , prostate , bulbourethral glands , and penis .
