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.

Damn, I WANT my penis and testicles to shrink. I am an extremely indulgent transvestite so the smaller I can get my package, the easier it is for just one pair of pantyhose to keep it all tucked up, ensuring maximum flatness in front!

my only advice that kind of worked for me is to stop masturbating all together for a while, weeks, even a month or more and do it only when u cant take it anymore and dont do it again for a few weeks, that way ull notice that ull see women in a different way again, and at some point after a month or more of this consistently ull see a difference on your penis it will relax and hang more and get larger when erected, also fruits and vegetables are the best especially parsley, it works for blood circulation with its vitamins, look into food, and lifestyle other than why did this happen blah  blah... i have this problem except that most of my life mine is shrivled up, and on some lucky occasions it will be huge in comarison to itself which is about an inch when shrivled and about 5 when not and about 7 when erect so youre not the only one with this problem,, its foods and lifestyle, the only thing that causes this to u is u and your body, no doctor no treatment can get it to work other than a natural life change... like i said mine is usually shrivled up for weeks and then for a day itll be nice, i barely ever have it hanging long for more than 3 days at a time, but then i started to work out eat right sleep right not masturbate at all!! started doing leg work outs that increases testosterone levels, and boom i had a long **** for a month no joke no lie, it eventually went back to itself but that is because i went back to my old lifestyle but seriuously thinking of going back life was so much better.

I've always been lucky in the fact that as a white man, I've been rather well endowed. I'm 6'7", and only 225lbs. By 17, I realized that I was bigger than most guys, when all of my gf's were having issues with the size. This led me to pull out the measuring tape, and figure out just how unusual I was. At 17-18, I was just over 10" length, and 3" girth. Unfortunately now at 31, I'm only 8" in length, the girth hasn't changed. I'm trying to figure out what the heck has happened, and see if I can reverse this shrinking. I've heard that smoking can cause it, and my antidepressants as well. I'm very healthy, no diabetes, gland disorders, or weight problems, but I was diagnosed with PTSD several years ago after returning from war, and put on anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, and sleep aids (non-narcotic). My real question is, if I find out what it is that's caused this shrinking, CAN IT BE REVERSED??
