My husband had a back injury from an auto accident. With time his penis retracts into his body and he has to literally pull it out to urinate, etc. It is quite embarrassing for him and empathize with the guy in the locker room. I have found out there is a syndrome called levator ani spasm which in men can be quite painful. Sitting long periods of time especially at a computer, stress can play prominent roles. However, the pudendal nerve may be involved in this condition. It is hard to find information on this, much less treatment for it. I wish someone could shed some light on this condition.

Forgot to mention that the levator ani syndrome that my husband may have has been helped by sitting in a hot tub. He also takes lorazepam, not every day, maybe 1 in three days and it also helps. However, there was a study done at Stanford University about this syndrome. Might google levator ani syndrome Stanford University.

Hey guys, I've done a bit more thinking about this issue and i don't think it is completely to do with the fat pad. Another thing i've noticed is that i've become extremely jumpy or anxious. I went to exercise on a field with a friend of mine and every little sound made me anxious, i jumped at them all and started looking around like a weirdo. One of my mate was jokingly scaring me saying that he heard chains and that saw is coming lol and i actually felt fear.This is why i have these damn retractions. normally, if some situation arises, the penis and testicles retract, but not even close to this much. For us, it's much much more and that is why we notice it. I remember 7 months ago, when i didn't have this problem, life was ******* awesome, even at stressful situations, when adrenaline jumped in, it was fun, it was Excitement and thrill, not ******* fear. I was in many stressful situations in the past, but never lasted long, but at the time this started, i had multiple stressful events, and they were on-going, i remember having 2+weeks of constant stress, and i was all alone (dad at work, bro and sis at school), so all day i used to think about this. My main problem is anxiety and excessive fear. One of the earliest retractions i had was when walking up my street 2 guys were walking a few steps behind me, normally i wouldn't give a **** and keep walking, but that time i felt fear like they're going to kill me or **** like that. and thats when it retracted.

Anxiety can be cause by many many things, i remember that i was unemployed at the time, so was at home, i have heard that over masturbation can sometimes cause anxiety, and at that time i was doing it twice daily, compared to an year ago when i used to do it 3-4 times a week. I ******* gained 100 pounds of weight, and all went to belly, and that causes harmful toxins and hormones, which can also cause anxiety. Stress causes anxiety too. I ******* hate myself, every body told me to loose the weight last year and i ******* ignored it, i'll do it later, from next week etc. This has almost completely destroyed my life, this should have happened when i was in my 50s, not in the bloody 20s. I am worried about my future life now, marriage, kids, family, job, everything. I remember before all this started, i was outgoing, i never use to worry about going out or anything, if someone said lets go town, i'd get ready in a second, but now, i think of all the dangers and make excuses of why not to go. hard to believe that my life would turn upside down like this in just a few weeks. I constantly think of all my mistakes i've done, and remember all the times this problem wasn't there.

had to get that off my mind. anyway, for now, all i can do, is try loosing the weight. 100 pounds is a hell lot of weight, i was perfect health with the 100 pounds off, but don't think i can return to my old self even after loosing it, but i can try. 100 pounds should make some difference atleast. and if all this problem is because of hormones in belly or something, all i can hope for is that by loosing the weight, it somehow corrects itself, giving me my life back, because i can honestly say one thing, that i can't live with this in my life, i still very young, the best years of my life hadn't even arrived yet. but i wanna live and enjoy life, we only get it once, if i had an extra chance, i would have taken that already lol. anyway, sorry for boring you guys with my story, i just wish there was a time machine to go fix all this. im planning to go abroad next month, maybe i can find some relief there ... sigh...

p.s: to everyone who suffers from the retractions, do you guys have any anxiety? i think these 2 are very closely linked.

Hi fellow sufferers , I lost 50kilos a few years ago and started walking lots to get the brains serotonin juices going to reduce my anxiety which was through the roof :( , and i drank heaps of water only for a while to detox any toxins in my system , and the retractions went away YAHOO and things were great for a while so it does pay to change your lifestyle a bit ......unfortunately i had a few family disasters and put the weight back on and you guessed it the retractions came back with vengeance :(

Ok I have recently developed this problem, like perhaps the last few months. There have been many changes in my life during this time as well, I have been exercising a lot and lost 15 lbs, still about 10lbs over weight. I also have a new job and perhaps some anxiety because I pretty much don't care for it but need it to pay rent etc... I have no sexual problems, and have been with my gf for a few years, idk what having a lot of sex would do but I perhaps think I have had a lot of sex in my life. I also turned 30 recently. I noticed it happens when I'm sitting at work, a few times, not every day but often enough. It also happens when i'm cold. It never used to happen to me though and is quite scary when it happened for the first time. I'll monitor it and see if it happens after i work out.

Hello everyone,

I’m glad I found this site. I’, 36 and this started happening on and off since I was sixteen, when after having sex for the 1st time. Since then whenever I work physical labor my gentiles would retract in. After work I would relax and everything would go back to normal. When I used LSD, (one time, mind you ) they retracted in as well. Yet they would return eventually to normal.

I went on psychiatric meds when I was 20 yrs old for depression, yet never stuck to taking them seriously. It wasn’t until I was 25 that I began to masturbate once a week, instead of the everyday routine I normally was on since 16 yrs of age. Again no signs of any problems, I was still the same size and girth and no retraction issues.

When I was 30 I broke up with my GF and ever since I started to have signs of retraction more frequently. So I bought into some herbal libido supplements and started penis stretching exercises, which seemed to resolve everything. I was back to being 7.5 by 2. Everything was great, but 1 year later the retraction still were accruing. Why?

Driving in my car one day, I could feel them retracting in. This was the first time I was staying still that this retraction issue really started to worry me. I could only think back and noticed I was feeling not guilty for slacking off at work, but that I should feel guilty. I went back to work and out of the blue my gentles grew back to normal again. And that is psychological.

Well to speed up my story here, I was taking a lot of supplements to experiment with which would help the retraction issue. Most if none at all worked for a short period of time.

I’m 36 now and when I take yohimbe or tribulis terrestus or even muira pauma or DHEA for my ED, my adrenaline peeks way high and I shake with nervousness. I stopped taking them but I still have retraction problems, severely for 2 years past. For 2 years. I tried the penis pump, but that just made it worse off.

Now, when I do get an erection my size is 6 inches by 1 ½. My life is miserably now, not because of the size thing. It is because I only get an erection 2 times a month now. No more morning wood!!! Makes me so angry and upset, I just don’t connect with my friends of family, or even to attempt another relationship.

They say it is male menopause. I just can’t believe this. There has got to be something that can be done…

PS: I’ve gone as far as to blame the Government of low band frequency tests on the general public through radio waves as the cause for this… yet no proof!!! Just my small piece of mind!!!

I have this same problem, except mine has been diagnosed. Because of an occupational injury, my testostrone levels are way below normal for a male. Without testosterone supplements in the form of shots, my body tries to develop female features. You should be evaluated by an endocrinologist to rule out roblems like mine.

I agree with ripvanwinkle i have had quite a few testosterone blood tests over the years constantly showing very low testosterone levels but my old fashioned doctor refuses to accept that it is worth treating... talk about frustrating... i am going to see him one more time to demand... i get treated for low testosterone... and see if it helps with the dreaded retractions

I had a hard fall a few years ago and now have this problem. I believe I must have torn something or have a hernia do to the fall. When working out it does it thus it could be a hernia. Although sexually I have no difference I still get mourning wood and my size is the same around 7". Its just annoying when it shrinks to less then an inch.

I too have this problem when exercising or stretching. I'm 39 and had it for the last ten years. I think I might have acquired it from taking ALLERGY MEDICATIONS. Actually, after I started taking allergy medication I noticed I started developing all kinds of problems (High Blood Pressure, Fatigue, Memory Loss, Vision Loss). Just wondering if any of you took Allergy medication or Creatine or Weightgainer? Because I took these sometime before this started happening!!! Its the only thing I can think of that could have caused it. I live a pretty healthy life style in terms of exercise and diet.

no one has mentioned alcohol consumption. i am a heavy drinker (49) and work construction outside. it used to only happen in the winter or heavy lifting but now its all the time and i have to take every opprotunity to pull it out because its so uncomfortable. i quit smoking 2 years ago, no change. one thing that may help is not just to pull it out but rather take the time to fluff it up a bit as this gives me relief for a while. anyone useing a pump? im thinking of trying one.

Hi My husband (54) just told me tonight he is having the same problem with his penis that you are all having. In one of the comment Prostititous was mentioned and we look that up and might actually be on a lead idk. The other option for him might be the starting of Cymbalta for nerve pain .I know anti depressents can cause havoc with your sexual well being. anyone else think it might be Cymbalta or similar?

To: everybody HEALTHY SOLUTION

SOLUTION TO RETRACTED PENIS. I am a healthy person who also experienced your problem. I have an all natural quick solution. It totally worked. This is not a one time thing, u need to strengthen the muscle area/group. Go join a gym, focus on cardio and leg exercises. Especially the INNER THIGH MACHINE. The INNER THIGH MACHINE will strengthen your muscles near the groin area (Pushes out your shaft slightly, I'm not talking about increase length of penis size or solution to impotence) and the cardio will help u lose the extra fat around your lower abdomin (abdomen) and groin area. You should start feeling more comfortable and less need to run to a private area to pull it out and adjust. Also eat properly like a balanced diet to help weight loss. All natural healthy foods. Stop the high calorie foods. It's the fat and weak groin muscles that is retracting the penis. Other than that if this solution doesn't help, go see a doctor because it could be something else.

I have been following this issue for a while now as I experience this same problem.  I have recently started eating better as well as trying to work out.  I have noticed in the past two weeks that my penis has not retracted into my body like it was before and I believe at this point is because for the past two weeks I have been drinking a lot of water.

I use to be one that rarely drank water and only had to pee once or twice a day.  I am not sure this is related at all, but I know the past two weeks I have not had any problem with my penis retracting into my body when drinking water.  I know that mornings are sometimes difficult to get a lot of water and I have noticed it retract slightly, but not like it was doing before.  I have been drinking a lot of water during the afternoon and evening and no problems.

Curious if others that are having this problem drink enough water or is this something specific to me?  I have definitely noticed a different after the two weeks and drinking about 8 cups of water a day.  Only within the past 2 - 3 days have I started exercising, so I am taking the account that my penis is not retracting in as it was to the fact that I am drinking  a lot more water.

Hi everyone,

I have been reading the posts for years now and didn't have the guts to even create and account and post something on here until now. I believe I'm one of you who suffer from this problem. I took SSRIs for this because the doctors thought I was "depressed", but we all know that our depression comes from a problem like that. I was able to accept myself for some time that I'm just one of those guys who worry a lot and everything will subside with relaxation. When relaxed, I feel relaxed down there too, but if I feel a little doubt or move or do something, I could feel the retraction again. It's really ridiculous that no doctor in the field is decent enough to take on this problem and try to come up with a solution for it. I'm not really sure what to do anymore. I feel so bad about myself. The worst thing is that I'm seeing this fine girl, and we are in love, and I'm not sure how she would feel about it. I have really been thinking about suicide lately. I don't know, but I thought I could deal with anything else other than that. I needed to talk about it so I can relieve some of my pain. I'm a complete mess. I can't do anything anymore.

Good for you man. It sounds like while the problem does bother you somewhat you are not letting it ruin your life. I have probably one of the smallest penises ever and often find that I do not have one at all when I look down. I am 47 and it greatly has affected my life. However, when I found a young lady 25 years ago that accepted me for how God made me, it did wonders for my confidence. Looking at porn doesn't help with that confidence as some of the biggest penises are found there. I just have to accept that God made me this way for a reason, whether it was to be more humble and more compassionate towards others or to accomodate the right woman that cannot take a large penis. Not exactly sure but I have come to accept who I am and Thank God for the many other blessings in my life!

To: all

Alpha blockers may completely resolve this issue.  Please ask your Doctor, in particular a hypertension specialist, about alpha blockers.  Explain your symptoms and request a trial.  The vasoconstriction you have is causing the shrinkage.  The arterioles are very sensitive to adrenal stimulation.  You can block this stimulation peripherally with Hytrin (terazosin), Cardura (doxazosin), or Minipress (prazosin).

Do not try to heal vasoconstriction with meditation, exercise, etc.  All of this helps of course, but the constriction is not limited to the penis - the heart may also be affected - often the penis is most sensitive to arterial blood flow.

Also rule out, pheochromocytoma, thyroid disease and peripheral vascular disease.

Hey dude, we all know you are not only the person with this problem. As you can see now, that we all have one thing in common, it is funny and at the same time it is disheartening, especially when you are in a crown full of women. I have observed that women tend to "measure" men-up lol. I would
change subjects right away. Anyway back to the problem, I'm no expert medically, but after looking at some guys who are "well-endowed" and their physical make-up, those men seem to have no fat around the base area of the penis and looking at their stomach they tend to have no fat and at the obliques there's that definition of muscles that looks like it connects down to the penis. Penises are made up of muscles right?. I don't know if you know what i'm trying to get at. Anyway i think with mine i have red or read some stuff about this sort of problem, some are probably caused by really uncomfortable situations as a young child, hormone imbalance, and some lack of nutrients and environment. I too am scared to discuss it with my doctor or anyone. i have heard some idiots even make fun of me about it and it really makes me uncomfortable and it does affect me. Especially when egotiscal F---kwits mention words like " if you have the balls for it" LOL. Anyway, One time my penis was hanging and it looked like i was burning the fats of the base just blow the stomach muscles. You know how fats burn off and turn to muscles...

My penis shrinks up to 1/2 inch and retracts into my body usually when I'm doing physical activities. I have to put my hand down my pants and pull it out every 5 min at the gym sometimes. It's extremely embarasing! I do have major social anxiey and depression. Not sure if its related but I really need to find out how to fix this problem. Anyone out there that has some good advice?

You may continue whatever treatment you are doing. You may use Deer exercise for man. Google it. It does not mention as the treatment for retracing penis. However, it gives lot of benefits for the sexua disorder. It is simple, takes less than 3 minutes a say and appears to be harm less.It is named as Deer exercise as Deer is the sexiest animal. Just try for a few days. It may work or may not. this is age old exercise.

Believe me, the story wasn't boring. Ever since I was starting middle school, I've had this problem. It basically has destroyed my self-esteem and confidence. I'm 25 now and I know exactly how you felt ever since middle school. With the anxiety, the fear, and the **** it all attitude to even do anything. I am over weight and have worried about this my whole life. And seeing how there's STILL really nothing about this in the medical world scares the **** out of me. HELL I didn't even have a girlfriend till I was 21. I just hope people can find something to help them through this, because I know it's ****** my life from enjoyment and love. Hell it also might be from lack of testosterone. Because since middle school I've developed to what seems to be breasts.... I've seen bigger people then me not have the size of chest I have....I just don't understand. I've never have been to a doctor for all this because of money reason and even if I had money, I would probably be too ashamed to even go. I just don't know anymore. I feel for you all and hope your able to find help, for it to be physically or mentally.

To: Ewoc

Regarding your second post, that is exactly my problem too. I do however have a fair amount of excess fat, so have just put it down to having an unfortunate combination of excess fat around the base and a relatively small penis!

I totally agree with Mr_ShyGuy though, for me the whole penis thing alone wouldn't be such a problem (yes sometimes uncomfortable and undesirable), However it is more morally when I am meeting a woman or whoever and they try to 'size it up'. That just hurts mentally and is my biggest problem and confidence destroyer. As you can imagine, if they try to go down there and my penis is not erect, they do not feel all too much!.. or atleast what they are expecting!
...And yes I have tried mixing with the type of women who dont want to try and size you up,.. but they all seem to do it eventually down here ;/

I think I have found the solution to this and I encourage all of you to look into it.

First I would like to point out the "triggers" to this. As you notice it begins many different ways; panic attacks, LSD, Propecia/Finasteride, Anti-Depressants, injury, sickness, anger, surgery, etc...these are all stressors, but its not the adrenaline that is the exact cause...it is the pelvic floor.

The pelvic floor is the whole area at the very base of the penis and goes all the way back the anus. It is a complex area of muscles. Basically what has happened is that area has contracted and pulls the penis back and does not allow as much blood to flow to the penis as normal. Adrenaline obviously makes this worse as it will cause the pelvic floor to "clench" or "congest" even more.

This is a very common condition for women, but for some reason medical field does not really admit it exists in men? Why not? Men have the same pelvic floor, just a penis attached at the end.

Lots of times this will be misdiagnosed as prostatitis. 95% of prostatits cases are actually pelvic floor issues.

Other names it goes by..
*CPPS
*Pelvic Myonueropathy
*Hard flaccid

So how do you fix this?

(1) You need to find a very good Physical Therapist who treats pelvic floor issues daily. They need to be able to teach you specific exercies, but more importantly need to do "trigger point" or "myofascial release". Some of the areas they need to get to will actually be from within the anus. 90% of PTs probably will not be helpful as they never have heard of this.

Here are two who deal with this. One on east coast one on west coast.
http://www.beyondbasicsphysicaltherapy.com/
http://www.pelvicpainrehab.com/

(2) Prazosin (Alpha Blocker)
Not just any alpha blocker will work. Some will make it worse, some will make it better. Prazosin/Minipress definitely helps. It specifically allows the pelvic region and penis to "relax" and "decongest" for a while....allowing more blood to flow. Be carefull though as too high a dose can give you low blood pressure. Start with just 1mg at night for a few nights, then slowly wean up to 4 doses of 3-5mg daily.

Keep this thead updated with your results. Many have already noticed great improvement.

Also go a head and read "A Headache in the Pelvis" and "How to Heal Pelvic Pain". Same issues. The "pain" that they speak of is a "dull ache in the pelvic floor" that many of you might begin to notice you have.

I have this same problem. My penis has done this for as long as I can remember, even as a child. It is an uncomfortable, not to mention embarrassing problem. I have gained a lot of weight over the last 10 years, but as I was saying, the problem has been present since childhood. It is so uncomfortable at times, that I literally have to shake it out to get relief. If anyone has tried any of the resolutions, I would like to hear about them. I'm getting extremely tired of dealing with this problem.

Been dealing with this for some years now and viaswiss is right! "A Headache in the Pelvis" is a great book which has helped me. I Do the tennis ball technique triggering the nerves and stretching the muscles + I do my own physical therapy as described in the book, activating the trigger points, and have had excellent results.

But that's only part of it. Delving into this "Chronic Bracing" I've started to notice some interesting things. Sometimes when I'm watching tv, and I see a video of a person getting hurt and I literally brace and feel the pain in the pudendal nerves and levator ani muscles. I've notice I'm hypersensitive and hypervigilent as well and used to be starled easily. Weary of people and avoid social situations to an extreme. It's like the fight or flight mechinism is always on. This I believe, was literally at least for me, whats called Complex PSTD (post traumatic stress disorder) from an injury AND being bullied for a very long period of time. It sounds a bit crazy, but finding out what's pushing your fear buttons is crucial to returning back to a somewhat normal life. This website is great and maybe it applies to you too. http://www.bullyonline.org/stress/ptsd.htm
Start paying attention to what sets it off! Ask yourself what your afraid of, and what is stressing you out besides this condition? Hope you find your answers!
God Bless

I also have this problem, i give it my own name 'Shrinking Penis Syndrome' basically im a slightly bigger than average fella when erect, but when flaccid my penis can shrink to a really small state. It feels like a sort of cramping of 'lack of blood flow' kind of thing and can sometimes be a little bit painful. I ALSO have varisose veins in my scrotum and i do sit down alot and am over weight.
Strangely its very random. I can be walking around one minute and feel that my flaccid penis is hanging quite 'well' 4-5 inches, other times i can be walking around and my penis has shrunk to about 2 inches! I can find a pattern. I an be embarrasing for me especially when i go swimming etc. The adrenine idea sounds plausable. One other thing is that i had a hernia op when i was 1 year old... and also the docs dont have a clue whats going on. useless!

I am like viczeta's husband; I suffered a back injury that ended my Navy career and have since had problems where I need to push my penis back out to urinate. It happens when I sit or when I lift anything with some weight to it.

That is very interesting. I have been suffering from this for 2 years. 5 months ago I discovered I had anxiety issues that might be the cause. I have ordered that book and will post about my progress.

You can imagine my delight to discover I'm not the only one. I've had the problems for many years. However, it seemed to begin after a military sever trauma that could have taken my life. My life passed before my eyes because I was sure that I would die. The military and their incompetence failed to take care of me properly and it is by the grace of God that it wasn't more serious - rupture pancreas. However, the 1st Sgt tried to put me back to work right away when it was obvious I'd be out of commision for a while. It was abuse. I think the entire incident cause PTSD, which surfaced afterwards in the form of extreme anxieties which I still suffer from today. The injury, slightly numb still, feels like it's pulling my left testicle inward. It's actually very painful and I engage in some odd pulling out behavior that I finally told my wife about 3 weeks ago. Pride has kept me from applying for disability, but that's over now. I'll be submitting paper work any day now, which I get up the nerve to face the VA and the resistence they'll give me. I've also hurt my knee and my shoulder pretty bad. Exercise is very difficult now. SO I've put on some pounds since then and since my children were born. PUllin gon my privates approaches what we call "near occasion of sin", but I'm trying to put that aside so that I can deal with the physical nature of the problem to get over it. I quit a job to deal with some of the anxieties now. I've also returned to college for teacher certification. I've changed my diet and started to exercise more, but need to get back at it again. It's slow, but I have to do it so that I can live. I'm 50 with 3 children. We've been married 23 years this summer. This is causing me a lot of anxieties and drastically killing my self-esteem.

I'm overweight and working on it.
For my retracted penis, I wrap about an inch wide single layer band of gauze around my penis just behind the hood, then a 1/2 inch wide band of masking tape over the gauze. Keeps the penis from retracting and allows urination.
