Men Who Lose Penile Length After Prostatectomy Could Regain It Within a Year: Study
New research published in BJU International suggests that men who lose penile length after radical prostatectomy could recover that length within a year of surgery.
The news could be encouraging for many men, for whom penile length and girth is connected to self-esteem.
For the study, researchers measured the stretched penile lengths of 102 men who had undergone robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The measurements took place before surgery and at specific follow-up points over the next two years.
The penises were shortest ten days after surgery, but length gradually recovered.
