Involves rehabilitation

Dr. Charles Welliver, a urologist, and director of men's health at Albany Medical College said that there are ways to treat the condition that involves rehabilitation.

Although it was initially thought that a low dose of erectile dysfunction medication might help.

Dr. Ashley G. Winter, a urologist, and doctor of se*ual medicine, also recommends using a penis pump to rehabilitate the genital by doing what's called "genital flexing," which involves turning the device on to stimulate blood flow.

“The main reason we think this is happening is something we call endothelial dysfunction,” he explained. "Those are basically the cells that line the blood vessels…and they're really important to the function of a lot of different organs."

The health professional went on to point out that when COVID infects those vital cells, it can affect various organs. “And because an erection is a blood flow event… When those blood vessels are affected, you can have dysfunction,” he said.

However, despite the "falling short" prognosis received from their pessimistic physician, both urologists agreed that rehabilitative practices such as doing " push-ups" or purchasing a "vacuum" could restore length over time.
