Dorsal curvature is found in 27 (56.3%) men, mean stretched penile length 13.4 cm. Mean use of T&T was 13 weeks (1–52 weeks). Curvature improvement in 27.7% men, pain reduction in 48.5% men, sexual intercourse/coitus improvement in 34.2% men, erection improvement in 14.6% men. Adverse reactions of T&T in 39.6% (n = 19).
