Shrinking Penis

I have posted here before, but I feel that I must be persistent.  I am 29 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.  Oral drugs don't help.  

I've been to urologists at an ivy leage teaching hospital. He basically said 'that's life' and showed me penis pumps.  I really don't know why I am typing this message, as I don't think there is anything anyone can really do.  I am beyond the point of losing hope.  I quite honestly do not want to live like this anymore.  

My only questions are:
a.  Why & how did this happen?
b.  Is there any way to fix it?

If you know a doctor, please forward this to him/her because I really need help.  Thank you.

Did you guys figure out what the problem was.. I am suffering from the same symptoms. Shrunken penis, loss of sensation, no morning wood, wrinkled penis head. I believe overmasturbation played a key role in my case, I masturbated until my neck and head ached about 5times a day everyday.. I also smoked a lot of weed while I masturbated. I don't know if that situation rewired my brain and messed up my penis but its depressing. Any response would be great.
Cheers.

Has anyone noticed before and after a bowel movement, especially when wiping your bum that your penis shrinks up. During the bowel movement the penis elongates. What kind of doctor should I see for this?

Well what ever this is what you need to do is look out for best urologist and ask him to take this matter. other wise depression would be next step.

Well guys I also have this issue and really believe it is hormone related to either testerone or dht or too much estriol production

I have had low t and think about this a man at 80 years old is probably not going to have the same size he did when he was say 18 or even 40
