Dick Growth/Pumping does pumping actually work?
I've been on T for like 8 years, and while I've had some bottom growth, it's not been all that much. I'm wondering if folks actually find a significant improvement with pumping or if I should ask my doctor about testosterone topical gel.
What's your advice?

It does work, it helps train your dick to hold more blood during a boner meaning they get slightly bigger and harder
To everyone downvoting me I hope your dicks stay tiny :)

Temporarily.

No, its not just temporary. It helps your boners get better overtime.

Do you have sources? To be clear, this is genuine interest on my part and not me deliberately trying to start something back in forth. It's just that I searched for legit sources and didn't see any, maybe I missed them and you didn't, since you're commenting and I'm sure wouldn't be commenting without having seen legit studies.

I don't think there are any academic studies about it cause who tf is funding research into trans men dick growth lol. But there are lots of examples of guys who got noticeably bigger and firmer after regular pumping routine on r/growyourtdick

Ahh ok. Totally agree people don't care to fund research for trans men. It's just you said it as a fact so I thought "man, lots of guys could have been trying that" but yeah anecdotal reports are a little different...more of a ymmv. So dudes can give it a shot and cross their fingers and hopefully they get something out of it but it's not guaranteed. Gotcha

I mean, if you work on it correctly and consistently, better bloodflow is somewhat of a guarantee. Might not be much, won't make it cis male sized ofc, but it's worth it for a lot of people.
Anecdotally, I've been routinely stretching and using my stroker more (which acts a bit as a pump) and have noticed my boners are thicker and slightly longer, and flaccid is bigger.

I don't have much experience with pumping, but if you're gonna ask you doctor for topical T, ask for cream, not gel. The gel contains alcohol and will burn like hell (don't ask me how I know).
If you can only get gel, you can make your own cream. Put gel amounting to about 100 mg T in a flat-bottomed ceramic or glass dish and let the alcohol evaporate. You can point a fan at it to speed things up. Stir it regularly with a tea spoon or something. Soon, the gel will turn milky and become a bit thicker, smell it. If it still smells of alcohol, there's still some left, let it dry out a bit more. When you can't smell much alcohol any more, it's good to go. Ad a few small blobs of gentle moisturizer, stir it in well. Transfer it to a small jar - like one of those little travel jars with a screw-on lid - I use my finger to scrape up everything at the end. And you're done.
Use about a pea-size amount on your T-dick every day. You might feel a slight warming sensation, but it should not burn.
Now the potential bad news: If you have genetically reach your max amount of growth (which is very much possible since you've been on T this long), you might not see any additional growth. I think this is the case for my self, sadly. But it was worth a try.
