Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
 * 1) Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
 * 2) We do that by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do.  Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources.  (For the difference between primary and secondary sources, see WP:MEDDEF.)
 * 3) Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please beware of predatory publishers – check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
 * 4) The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
 * 5) More generally see WP:MEDHOW
 * 6) Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
 * 7) We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
 * 8) Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
 * 9) Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
 * 10) Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
 * 11) Please format citations consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW for how to format citations.
 * 12) Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
 * 13) Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

NTRODUCTION In recent years penile size has become a matter of great debate, with an increasing number of patients seeking urological advice for a so-called ‘short penis’. In a clinical setting, the definition of ‘short penis’ is more often attributed to a condition termed ‘penile dysmorphophobia’, i.e. the perception of inadequacy of the penis even though the true dimensions of the organ fall within the normal range [1,2]. A ‘clinically relevant’ short penis, definable as any length of < 4 cm for the flaccid penis and  < 7 cm for the stretched penis [3,4], is quite unusual in men seeking medical treatment for inadequate penile size [5]. Several augmentation phalloplasty procedures have been proposed with the aim of elongating the shaft or enlarging the penile girth [2,6] but at present the drawbacks of these techniques are a lack of standardization, the potential risk of complications [7], and a high rate of patient dissatisfaction [8]. Given these premises, methods to increase penile dimensions which are less invasive than surgery would be preferable.It has been claimed that the penile extender, a nonsurgical device that used progressive mechanical traction to the penis, produces a significant improvement in penile length and circumference, both in the flaccid and the erect state. Little scientific evidence and no peer-reviewed clinical study supports the potential clinical utility of the andro penile extender in the treatment of patients complaining of inadequate penile size [9,10]. In the present study we assessed a commonly marketed penile extender in a phase II single-arm study that was powered to detect significant changes in penile size.

RESULTS Of 30 patients referred with a complaint of ‘short penis’ between March 2005 and April 2006, 21 were eligible and entered the study. Reasons for exclusion from the protocol were refusal of the patient to comply with the proposed treatment (five) and ineligibility resulting during psychosexual counselling (four). The baseline characteristics of the sample for age, aetiology of the disease, EF domain of the IIEF and penile measurements are listed in Table 1. Only one patient could be categorized as having a hypoplastic penis. None of the patients scoring abnormal IIEF EF domain values (12/21) agreed to undergo specific assessments, as they related their sexual dysfunction to the inadequate penile size. Four patients discontinued treatment, three at 3 months (one for achieving satisfactory results, one for lack of efficacy and one for inability to comply with the protocol), and one at 1 month for side-effects (pain and penile bruising). One patient did not attend the visit after 6 months and was lost to follow up. All patients were included in the intention-to-treat analysis, but only the 16 completing the 6-month treatment period were evaluable for the primary endpoint. The median time of daily use of the device was 5 h at 1 month, 5 h at 3 months and 4 h at 6 months, respectively (chi-square, P   =  0.104).Figure 1a,b shows the changes after 6 months in the flaccid and stretched penile length, respectively. At the end of treatment (6 months), there was a significant overall.

Conclusions: The penis extender has the capability to stretch the penis and produce an increase in its length and width. It has been demonstrated to be safe and free of adverse side effects.
