Myth of Penis Stretching

Penis stretchers claim to deliver results through a simple stretching technique, but is it too good to be true? Explore the science behind penis stretchers, their effectiveness, potential side effects, and safe alternatives for enhancement.

Sometimes, it is too good to be true. You might have heard of Phallosan Forte, one of the newest orthopedic belt systems that is meant to be able to give you true penis enlargement results, just from a simple penis stretching technique! But of course, this isn’t the first time a penis stretcher has been put on the market, so what do the experts say? Below we’re going to break down the myth behind penis stretching for male enhancement, penis enlargement side effects, and what alternatives there are to Phallosan Forte and penis stretchers. 

Does Penis Stretching Work? 

What are penis stretchers and how are they supposed to work? Otherwise known as a penis extender, these medical devices usually have a plastic ring that sits at the base of the flaccid penis and another ring that sits right before the glands on the penis’s head, and the springs are supposed to stretch the penis to make it become longer over time. But the act of penis stretching is not just relegated to only this device, there are a few other ways penis stretching has been done:

  • Penis stretching exercises or “jelqing”

  • Vacuum pumps 

  • Penoscrotal rings

  • Penile extenders 

While there have been claims over the years that these devices can assist in penis enlargement, a recent systematic review from 2020 has shown that “the vast majority of series reported normal penile size,” after receiving penis stretching. This is from a compilation of 17 separate studies with no time limit, making sure to measure the main outcomes based on patient satisfaction, penile size increase, and complications.   

It is important to note that there is one exception to this rule, and this is in treating Peyronie’s disease when scar tissue forms in deep tissue under the base layer of the penis. The results can vary but usually cause curved and painful erections. A study from 2019 found that penile stretching is a viable solution for treating Peyronie’s disease. 

The Phalloson Forte device works as a modernized penis pump, regulating how much traction is felt on your penis. Its best asset is that it can be worn comfortably while you sleep, for up to 12 hours. But unfortunately, there is no medical evidence indicating that Phallosan forte results can assist in male enhancement and increase the length and girth of your penis. 

What are the Penis Enlargement Side Effects of Penile Stretching?

While the degree of penis stretchers varies, there is some inherent risk, especially if you are doing these activities for an extended period, as it can be difficult to determine how much time is safe, and how much time is effective. Some of the side effects of this type of penile enhancement can be mild:

  • Bruising 

  • Skin irritation 

  • A numb sensation in the penis

  • A feeling of trapped semen during orgasm 

Some techniques for penis stretching can have more severe reactions, such as Jelqing, which in rare cases can result in Peyronie’s disease or erectile dysfunction due to excessive force on the penis. For penis pumps and other devices similar to the Phallosan Forte, other side effects might ruin the image and expectations of a penis stretcher:

  • Weird feeling erections

  • Pain 

  • Pinpoint-sized red dots

These, especially the weird feeling of erections (which end up not feeling natural, along with having issues akin to erectile dysfunction with a lack of firmness at the base of the penis), are important aspects to take into consideration, as they reduce the pleasure and self-image improvement many people expect to get after trying penis stretching devices.
