Why has my penis shrunk? Please help :(
I'm 23 years old and I noticed a couple weeks ago that my penis had shrunk... I don't know why it happened so suddenly, it just doesn't make sense to me. My penis used to be about 4" when flaccid, and roughly 6" when erect, but right now it is 2.5" when flaccid, and maybe 5" when erect. ***!! I've also noticed that it has gotten thinner, this is very embarrassing. I haven't put on any weight, in fact, I've actually lost about five pounds this month. I've also used "horny goat weed" before (approx 40 caps in the past few months) since I had a very difficult time sustaining an erection during intercourse. While the HGW might have been solely psychological, it seemed to have worked quite fine (although I've never lasted more than about 10 min, but that's an entirely separate issue). I've quit taking Klonopin since it was the primary culprit in the impotence department, and I hate drugs so I'd much rather take a natural approach to this than just "start taking Viagra", thus leaving me dependent on them.
Anyway, it really caused a problem this weekend when my fiance and I tried to have sex. I just had too terrible of a self-esteem issue to perform and my anxiety of not being able to please her completely owned the situation. It was absolutely dreadful. I built up the courage of actually talking to her about it shrinking, and she told me she had realized it as well... She stated that it was possibly my low testosterone level, which makes sense. I hardly ever do anything physical enough to get my blood pumping. I masturbate about three times a week, but when I do, I do it about three times per day, if not more.
I have got to do something about this, and I don't even know where to start looking. This is making me very depressed and absolutely obliterating my confidence, please help...

I am 34 and just recently had that issue but I think I injured my penis from wearing a ****-ring too long, I have been depressed but optimistic.I have an ex that is starting to like me again but I avoid sex. I have tried to find answers on the internet for a few months now to see what I can do to fix my issue but I have found nothing. Veinous leak seems to be an impossible affect to cure permanently. It has been about 3 months since I have been able to get those random boners and my penis . and I still have a high sex drive but my penis is not understanding me mentally, also the effects of a veinous leak have had a physical change in my penis when flaccid, it has shrunk in its flaccid state to an embarrassing size. When I masturbate I can get erections though, hard erections but just seeing a nude girl nothing happens, I am hopeful surgery or meds would cure my issue but I haven't found any that I find effective permanently. I thought surgery was gonna be good but it seems the surgery is noneffective.And penile implants are risky and cause the loss of the natural erection so I am not going to get an implant. Maybe over time I will heal or I am hoping :) But I am accepting that I have this and it lives with me a part of me I will never quit searching for a solution but in the meantime I try not to think of this cause every time I do it brings anxiety and stress. And I was well endowed to all of a sudden go to a small penis while flaccid when u were well endowed is very depressing.What is also depressing is not getting those random erections anymore, I wish I could go back in time and change the events that led to this but maybe it was for the best. I drink alot and have decided to stop drinking and smoking, maybe that will help a little but not alot since I hear men that are healthy and dont drink have the same issue.
I am 30 years old, and have been impotent for about 2 years now. 2 years ago, I was absolutely fine. I could have sex as many times as I wanted to. 3 times a night would be no problem. I woke up with erections, and if I didn't have sex I would masturbate in the morning and before I went to bed.
It is a different story now however. No morning wood. No libido. If I am able to get an erection it doesn't last long. Visual stimuli has no effect, I have to use my hand and that doesn't work very well. When flacid, my penis is smaller now. The skin feels different--less sensitive. I see veins where I couldn't see any before. When I walk around, it feels like I don't even have a penis anymore. It feels like nothing is there. As a result of this I have lost my girlfriend, my confidence in life, and I think I am losing my mind. I can't live anymore like this.
Does anyone have this random issue? Know a dr?
