TOPIC: A Fascinating Alternative to Phalloplasty

I did tag him a month ago, and he hasn't been back on. Maybe he just missed the email or meant to logon later and forgot. Which is fine, like you said this thread has been pretty quiet lately. I was more concerned with the lack of update from his 5 guys.

I fully intended to post pics if I gained anything. I have my before pics, but unfortunately those are useless without growth.

I don't mean to scare anyone away from plong. I just think with the issues I had it's not worth gambling another $3k on it. From being on PE forums for the past several years, it just seems like some guys have more lymphatic issues than others when it comes to pumping. I guess I'm one of those guys. FWIW, I am Circumcised and I've read that can make you more prone to lymph issues.

I'm still following this thread until I can continue the process at some point. I've been busy with work and some recent unanticipated life and medical expenses that are taking priority over P-Long to say the least.

That said I still try to keep up with the protocol minus the expense of the prp shots. I'm not perfect about it every day but I have been doing it. My photos are still posted in this thread and I've definitely kept the gains I made in that time line.

Dr. Brandeis and his staff were wonderful when I was working with him.

Hopefully I'll continue at some point.

Just a brief update .

I’ve gained about 1/2 Inch bpfsl in the last 6 months
So my monthly gains are about 2/3 of what they were prior to March .


Overall , I started at 8.7 bpfsl 14 months ago and am now about 10 . I started about 8.3 BPEL and am now 9 . Flaccid length is up too . Girth is unchanged between 7.5 and 8.


My protocol is 2 -3 hours of extender when I can during the day , 2 tabs of affirm morning and night . 5 mg of Cialis every other day . No pumping . I try to keep the extender force at max for the restorex, and never extend for more than 30 minutes at a time .

So you're doing 4-6 sets. How long of a break are you taking between?

At least 1/2 hour —

Are you applying any heat while extending?

I haven’t done heat consistently . I do have a cheap extender . As I said , gains have slowed to less than 2 mm per month .
I may add heat and or vibration extending if increases stall .

A plethora of P-Long & Penis Enlargement related Blog Publications -- great for additional information & education.

Also, one video (below) of a handful that will also be updated live on the

Gains are .5-1mm per month now . Ellanse isn’t disappearing . I’d like to reshape but until ellanse leaves I won’t risk . I’ve stopped p-long prp . At these small gains per month , it isn’t worth the cost of prp . Still extending tho .

Overall at 10 bpfsl. 9 bpel

Have you continued to gain since stopping the PRP or is that TBD?

TBD .

Hi!

It will be almost 3 years since P-Long became public - do you have any long term patients and could you share any data about their results? In the original study, the patients saw mean increase in length of around 13%... did any of the long term patients go beyond that? Above 20%? Do you have any novel interventions that could aid in the process like antifibriotic agents (Pentoxifylline for example), hyperthermic therapy (heat pad) etc that you heard about and think they have validity and/or potential behind them?

Thank you for all the work you do and share with us.

It is hard to believe that it has been 3 years since we launched P long. I have not done any official scientific follow-up studies that are publishable. However, when men continue to come in for PRP on a monthly basis and do traction and suction and use the AFFIRM nitric oxide boosting supplement, they continue to grow about 2 %/month.

The good thing is that I have feedback from dozens of offices that their results are similar to the results we get at BrandeisMD. 1 clinic in Florida reported to me that they have done almost 100 cases and 98% of men had growth and were satisfied with their results.

The other really good thing is that I have not had any reports of any complications or side effects of the P long protocol. I will ask other P-Long providers to weigh in on this post.

@P-Long

Dr. Brandeis,

Thank you for sharing the P-Long study and for your active presence in this community. I have a question that I believe is central to evaluating the biological plausibility of the protocol's length results.

The tunica albuginea is a dense fibrous structure composed primarily of Type I and III collagen with a tensile strength comparable to tendon tissue. In healthy men, it functions as a rigid hydraulic chamber — not a growing tissue. The existing literature on penile traction (including the RestoreX RCT you cite) demonstrates gains specifically in the context of Peyronie's disease, where pathological fibrotic plaques respond differently to mechanical load than normal tunica.

My question is: what is the proposed mechanism by which the P-Long protocol induces measurable, permanent elongation of the tunica albuginea in anatomically normal men?

Specifically:
1. Does PRP act directly on tunica fibroblasts, and if so, how do you account for the pro-fibrotic effects of TGF-β1 — a major PRP component — which could theoretically increase tunica stiffness rather than compliance?
2. Were any histological or imaging assessments (e.g., ultrasound elastography) performed to document structural changes in the tunica pre- and post-treatment?
3. Given that erect length measurements were taken via at-home photography without observer blinding, how was measurement variability controlled — particularly the well-documented effect of optimization bias over repeated self-measurement sessions?

The study itself acknowledges the absence of a control group and the non-standard measurement methodology. Without a mechanistic explanation for tunica remodeling in healthy tissue, the length gains remain difficult to attribute to structural change rather than measurement variance or improved tumescence.

I would genuinely appreciate your thoughts on this, as it seems to be the key unanswered question in the literature.

Thank you.
