traction devices

[curtd]

I have had peyronies disease for the last 3 years and have curvature upward of about 30 degrees or so....My question is...I've seen where traction devices can help stretch the scaring and help straighten the penis.  These devices are for lengthening the penis and I want to know does this really work in straightening the penis without harming my situation any further.  I'm just wanting to find some help...Thank you

Thank you so much for getting back with me about the information....I've read the same thing about the traction devices but was skeptical because it was the company selling the device that was making the claim. I'm willing to try the device I just dont want to inure myself any further....Thank you for the links, I will visit them all.....Please, if you think of anything else I could do or try, leave me a note....Thank you again

How are you? There are plenty of studies about traction devices that yielded positive results. In a 2007 pilot study led by Dr. Laurence A. Levine, traction treatment reduced curvature by an average of 33% without adverse affects. Prolonged daily external penile traction therapy is a new approach for the nonsurgical treatment of Peyronies Disease. However, they also recommend further study and stressed the importance of patient compliance if an improved outcome is to be gained. Here are some helpful links:
