Penis Extenders Or Surgery? Comparison Chart

The Penile traction-based devices have gained popularity over the years due to their efficiency in enlarging the penis. However, before these devices are known for their capacity to enhance the penis size, they have been used by medical doctors in their professional practice of medicine. For example, patients who had undergone surgery and developed penis trauma found solace from traction devices. But, today, these devices are used more in solving the problem of penis size. Experts in traction devices point out that compared to other methods for enhancing the penis, the traction device offers safety and security.

Extenders Vs. Mad Surgeons in Battle Royale

With more products available for penis enhancement, most men are confused on which product to use. Below is a comparison table between penis enlargement surgery and penis traction device.

	Traction-based Penis Extender	Penis enlargement surgery
Definition	A penis traction device applies a force or traction onto the penis shaft to stimulate the tissues (within the penis) to multiply as a way of coping with the “new” stress inflicted upon them. Over time, the constant pressure and greater amount of cells multiplied will result in a permanent increase in penis length and width.	The surgeon will perform the surgery with the help of general anesthesia for the purpose of increasing the length and width of the penis.
Risks Bleeding Infection Pain Delayed healing Other risks	There are no known risks of bleeding associated with traction devices when used as directed. There have been no reports of infections caused by using the traction device when it is worn with good hygiene. If the instructions on the label are followed properly, pain is a rare issue in traction devices. Traction devices do not cause wounds, scars, and injuries. As such, there is no healing involved in traction devices. There are no known risks and complications associated with proper use of traction devices.	Risks of experiencing bleeding are always present in all surgical operations. Bleeding can occur while performing the surgery and in post-surgery. There are greater risks of contracting infections during and after the surgery, when the patients stay longer in the hospital for recovery. Pain is constant in surgery especially after the procedure. And this is true particularly when the general anesthesia has waned. Surgery takes a longer time to recover as the procedure involves cutting through the penis skin and through the flesh of its shaft. As such, wounds and scars are imminent. It will also take time for the wounds to heal. Among its complications include bruises on the shaft of the penis and its head; deformity in the penis when surgery goes wrong is also possible. There are also the possibilities of allergies to anesthesia or medicines. Men with heart problems and high blood pressure cannot even have the surgery.
Costs	Granted, the penis extenders do not come very cheap. But compared to the expenses in having a surgery, the traction device does not require maintenance like medicines or changing certain parts. The devices are also long-lasting, making them cost-efficient in the long run.	A surgery to increase the length and width of the penis costs between $4,000 and $17,000. Mostly, the expenses are not covered by the insurance. The European Urology published a study about 42 adult males who have undergone a surgical procedure for penis enhancement. In the said study, only 35 percent of men maintained satisfaction, while 50 percent of them sought out another remedy. This means surgery costs more with higher risks.
Recovery time	Recovery is not necessary in traction device because it neither involves incision nor cause injury or complications.	In a typical penis enhancement procedure, the recovery period ranges from several weeks to a few months. Also, patients are advised not to engage in sexual intercourses for up to six months.
Convenience	The traction device is a self-operating tool that can be used anywhere even at the office. It does not require second-party assistance in wearing it.	A simple surgery requires a team of medical experts such as the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and nurses. There will also be medical equipment to monitor the health of the patient. Then of course, the surgery is always carried out in the hospital.
Money back guarantee	A reputable company that manufactures traction devices offers money-back warranty of up to one year from the day of purchase. If there are “before” and “after” photos, the company will not hesitate in refunding the cost of the device.	A surgery does not have definite good results. It is a risk. And along with the risks is the money spent on procedure—non-refundable. This means that if the result is not favorable, the hospital and the surgeon will not return the money.

With the above data, it is clear that penis enhancement surgery is expensive with higher risks and lesser guarantee of positive results. Meanwhile, the traction device only requires one-time purchase. Unlike surgery that requires medications before, during, or after the surgery, traction device does not have unnecessary expenses.
