The doctor warned about the dangers of penis enlargement using books or weights

The doctor warned about the dangers of penis enlargement using the method of a blogger who suggested filling a bag with books or weights and wrapping a handle around the penis. The New York Post reports this.

20-year-old blogger Braden Peters, known as Clavicular, said on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast that he used this trick even while driving a car. According to him, this “exercise” allows you to “stretch the ligament” - a strip of connective tissue that attaches the base of the organ to the pubic bone. Peters claims that this way you can enlarge your penis by 2.5 centimeters.

Doctors warn that such home methods have nothing to do with medical traction devices. Dr. Rajesh Patel, president and former chief medical officer of Associated Urological Specialists, emphasizes that controlled traction can produce anywhere from one to 2.5 centimeters, but only in a clinical setting under the supervision of specialists.

“You have no idea how much force you are applying and how much load the tissue can safely withstand,” Patel said. Constantly hanging weights traumatizes blood vessels, nerves and erectile tissue, causing swelling, bruising and severe pain, and with sufficient force or repeated trauma, sensory loss, scarring and erectile dysfunction can occur, he said. In addition, excessive stretching of the ligament can lead to curvature similar to Peyronie's disease, or even visual reduction of the organ, since the ligament is responsible for its support and stability.

Patel notes that behind such experiments is not only the risk of physical harm, but also the growing anxiety about size, which is fueled by bloggers. According to him, if you are concerned about size, you should contact a urologist, who will explain what is normal, what methods have evidence, and what can cause irreparable harm.
