You can tie a weight or traction device, sometimes called a penile extender, to your non-erect penis to try to stretch it. Traction therapy can improve non-erect penis length in some men by up to 2 centimeters (a little more than ¾ of an inch)

My dad has 3 gall bladder stones and an enlarged prostate at 73 cc. Is surgery absolutely necessary or can he manage with just medications for now? Really worried about his condition and want to understand the options better.
For a 73 cc enlarged prostate and gallstones, surgery might not be immediately necessary for either condition, but it depends on the severity of symptoms and individual factors. Medications can help manage symptoms of both, and watchful waiting might be an option for asymptomatic gallstones. Consulting with a doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan is crucial.
