Shrinking Penis

[pmaule]

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.

What's the most a penis can enlarge after the age of 18?

[helpmeplease_911]

Its been several years since this thread began. I found it because I've been going through exactly the same thing and have been so miserable I'm not sure it's worth living through too much more of this.

Lost my wife, my self confidence,  most of my friends, even my family has been keeping away. I seem to have lost my sexuality completely. Although I still crave it and obsess about it even .. my body refuses to get aroused. I wasn't large to begin with but it has shrunk to nothing at all and my testicles also. I believe this started from prostate issues which turned an already bad situation worse.  

I believe my testicles were never completely descended and the left in particular my whole life has often gone up into my body.  If this happens during sex it feels like its going burst and is extremely painful.  I used to wake up sometimes as a teenager and reach down and totally panic because I couldn't feel my testicles and then have to pull them back out.  

A couple of years ago I really struck out by getting the corner of a very heavy coffee table right in the groin just under my left testicle.

Now I feel no orgasms at all and like you guys posted can't get morning wood or aroused by thinking about sex or watching imagery. Even manual stimulation for hours at a time only gets me slightly less flacid at best.  I have lost motivation for everything in life. I have a good job but I fear that's in jeapordy because of my irritability and decline in performance.

I'm 42 now. The ones that posted here are much younger.  I would be extremely interested in how all of you are doing now! Is there hope for me? Will I regain penis and testicle size? Pleasure? Sensitivity?  Healthy bladder and bowel function?   Right now I can think of nothing else but either trying to get help or just giving up on life altogether.  Any thoughts are helpful. Please. Thank you.

I read through the original post and some of the other ones. I had the same problem as many of you with the shrinking penis (read further for what was a cure for me). I am on Minoxidil (Rogaine) which regrows hair but as a side effect also increases estrogen levels. My penis got smaller over time as well as having erection problems. The Rogaine was working very well so I didnt want to stop taking that but not at the cost of losing erections and penis size. I read about an herbal supplement called Bulgarian Tribulus. It is all natural and is made from a plant. The good side effect of taking this pill is that it balances out your testosterone levels. If your levels are too low, it increases it to a mid level. If your levels are too high, it lowers it to a mid level. I noticed a small difference in penis size a few hours after taking the first pill. After a week or two I was back to normal size. It lessened the effectiveness of the Rogaine but I got my penis size back. Talk to your doctors before taking this. I wouldn't want to recommend something that has a bad reaction with any other medicine that you are taking but it worked for me and I want to share this info with everyone who has a similar problem with a shrinking penis and low testosterone levels. I know how many of you feel. I was very depressed about what was happening to me. But this totally reversed any size and erection problems I was having. Post back with any good results.

Hey guys I've been reading over all your conversations and I've been having some the the same problums. I'm 18 years old probuly 5'9 & 150punds I've been losing alot of weight and been going to the bathroom alot more # 1 & 2. I feel like I'm constipaited most of the time I have stomache pains and I have an huge appitite but I don't gain any weight. I don't do any sports nor am I very active,I've been having muscel pains all over my body mostley my legs,I always have a headche & my eyes are usualy always dialated & can't stand to much sunlight. I feel weak all the time and tired,my sleeping patterens are way off & I'm always cold mostly my penis,hands,& feet. My throat has been hurting for awhile now and feels swollen at times,same with my tounge it feels as if its too big for my mouth. My skin seems alot paler and thicker & my hair seems to have gotten really brittal and its lost alot of its color. What does this have to do with my penis? Well i've been feeling all those symptoms one at a time through out different months some worse then other and I havent gotten any better. Well I have an abnormal heart beat most of the time but I spend ALOT of my time with my girlfriend I'm a very sexual person, & past the two months my penis is always cold along with my hand and feet. My penis shrivles up really small and it feels like as if someone its push it inward like a button...Its hard to maintain an erection & I don't last aslong anymore. Two times this has happend that my penis went while erect and one time I did ***. I noticed my penis vains have gotten alot bigger and some are there that I have never even noticed before. I just don't feel the same & thank god my girlfriend loves me so much she can put up with it cause it cant even get hard enough to have sex! & Also two times I felt a tight gripping sensation from my penis to my ball and gooch all at the time while trying to take a pee and it felt usual and I almost puked. But my penis isn't always shrunk some times its just really limp and doesn't do anything & in that state sometimes it feels like there are needles pushing into my penis. I've lost some feeling & my penis seems like it got thinner? & maybe alittle smaller...I have no clue whats going on I was hoping my symptoms for whatever I have arnt so bad and I can go back to having sex like I use too.
