Those who saw an increase in size of less than 31% were &#8220;showers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Most men in the study, however, fell into a &#8220;gray zone&#8221; in between the two categories. Only 24% of the men were growers while 25% were classified as showers.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the researchers, who also included urologists at the HM hospitals and the ROC Clinic in Madrid, found no correlations between age, weight, smoking status or other co-morbidities, and penis growth. Men who were showers, however, tended to have longer penises when flaccid than growers\u2014an average of 11.3cm compared to 8.8cm.<\/p>\n<p>They also found that the size of the fibrous tissue known as the tunica albuginea, which surrounds the spongy erectile tissue inside the penis, did not predict how much a man&#8217;s penis might grow. But they did find in men who were growers, the tunica albuginea became thinner than in men who were showers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This makes sense as the tissue is being stretched further,&#8221; said Dr. Alonso-Isa. &#8220;So it could be that this tissue has more elastic fibers in men who are growers than those who are showers. But we need to do more research to prove this hypothesis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said there may also be other factors they didn&#8217;t look at that play a role.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the meantime we have defined what constitutes a &#8216;grower&#8217; or a &#8216;shower&#8217; in a scientific way, which will be important for the future,&#8221; said Dr. Alonso-Isa.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on behalf of the European Association of Urology, Professor Maarten Albersen, a urologist at the University of Leuven, Belgium, said while there may not be any medical consequences to being a shower or a grower, it was something that often weighed on the minds of patients.<\/p>\n<p>He said, &#8220;This is a frequent area of concern for our patients and the emphasis should be on normalizing baseline and erectile length for all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    European Association of Urology<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uroweb.org\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg><use href=\"https:\/\/medx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>\n                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Difference between &#8216;growers&#8217; and &#8216;showers&#8217; revealed (2023, March 12)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 12 March 2023<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2023-03-difference-growers-showers-revealed.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
