Abstract in brief

Noninvasive penile lengthening methods, such as traction devices, have some scientific support and are considered more effective and safer than surgical options, which carry high risks and lack standardized indications.
Most media-promoted techniques like vacuum devices, rings, or exercises lack solid scientific evidence, making their effectiveness questionable.
Penile extenders stand out as the only non-surgical method with some proven efficacy, and their results are comparable to surgical procedures, making them a recommended first-line treatment for men seeking penile elongation.]
