Have you heard the term grower versus shower? do you describe yourself as a grower or a shower? Well, today I'm going to explain exactly what that is and if there's any scientific evidence behind why somebody might be a grower or a shower.
I'm Dr Rena Malik, urologist and pelvic surgeon. If you're new to my channel, thank you so much for joining me I appreciate each and every one of you and I hope that you are learning so much and having a great time being a part of our audience. So what is a grower versus a shower?
A grower is somebody whose penis tends to expand or extend in length when they go from a flaccid compared to when they are erect whereas a shower tends to have very little change in length between the flaccid and erect state so why exactly does this happen well it's a little bit of genetics and a little bit of environment genetics is based on your parents and things that they will pass down to you in your dna and these things are out of your control and things you can't change and those things can determine how elastic your tissue is or the makeup of your tissue reading how much collagen or flexible types of tissues are actually in the penis this can also change over the course of your lifetime some people will have more flexibility and length when they're younger and that will become less and less as they age the second part of it is based on environment so certainly if you are unhealthy smoking not having a good diet or being a little bit overweight that can affect the flexibility of your tissues as well in fact being a little bit overweight can make you feel like more of a shower because some of the erect penis may not be as visible because of some excess weight and when you have an erection you're able to visualize it better some things in your environment can change how your penis looks so that can be things like the room temperature or if you're in cold water things like stress or even when you're actively exercising ultimately this has nothing to do with how fertile you are how many you are or how well you can satisfy your partner so has there been any scientific studies on this well in fact there has in this study they took men who had erectile dysfunction and they took 274 men and all of them got what's called an intracavernosal injection and this is an injection that's used to give men an erection and they actually measured these men's penile length as they were flaccid and then after they got the injection and they were fully erect and they looked at the change in length between their flaccid and erupt lengths and they found that the median change was about four centimeters or one and a half inches so they used that as a cut off if you were more than four centimeters you were a grower and if you were less than four centimeters you were a shower and what did they find they found that 26 percent or a little bit over a quarter of the group was considered a grower with a mean increasing length of about 5. 3 centimeters the rest were actually showers and their mean changing length was 3.
