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.

Just to share what i've been told. I'm the italian student with erection problems. They told me that my morning wood absence doesn't indicate a particular disease therefore is normal and i have to keep living with that. Moreover they said that it could be linked with masturbation and the wrong excitement with porn. So if I didnt explain well what i wanted to say at least i think this would be more useful: porn doesn't help. You only lose your sexual desire.
So now i'm going to try to think less at my disease and stop watching any kinda porn, and see if something changes.

I have a son that had a bicycle accident when he was 10 years old which crushed one of his testicles. He is now 22 and his penis is the same size as when he was 10. This problem has ruined his life and is now unable to function as a normal person. He has been filled with so much rage that he has become a living time bomb ready to explode at any time. Is there any help out there for my son? Is it possible for his penis to become a normal size? Would a penis extender be able to help?

I've read this post, I'm an italian student and I'm having your same problem in my life. I'm sorry for my bad english, but i hope you can understand it anyway. I've tried searching on italian forums and i visited a doc twice but my limitation is that i'm 16. This is bringing me lots of problems in relationship with girls and  friends. It began one day, I was sleeping at my girlfriend's home, and the following morning i didn't feel my erection as usually. I haven't seen it anymore and I'm t shy to explain the situation to my family. I always think that i can't keep going in this way, but how can i try a solution for this problem. I have the varicocele at the sx testicle ( It's the only thing i was able to ask to the doctor) . During the doctor visit I also tried to ask about erectile disfunction hiding that with the varicocele problem.
Is anyone in the same situation or know someone who is having this problem.
Meanwhile ill try to be positive... but they are two years that i keep going like this...
I also thought that it could be linked with my mind, my anxies and a complex of mine, but I don't trust in this because i can't see any relation with the absence of morning erections.
Do you think it could be caused by some mental complex or as me you think it couldn't be this one the explanation?
Thank's.

Hi, I basically got some of the similar symptoms I read above.
1. First thing I noticed was a sense of loosing interest in sex or indifference.
2. Then a loose erection and low to watery ejaculation.
3. A burning sensation at the tip of penis(inside) and quickly became  
   unbearable. I went to the Emergency and was given anti-biotic which he
   said was a bacteria and it felt much better.
4. Currently, my penis and the skin on the penis has shrink. Penis generally feels soft than normal and feels like muscle stuff is loose. There is a stinging or irritating feeling for most of the day. Warmth on the right side of the testicle. I see vain on the lower side of penis and tends to get erection in the morning but get scared to get it erect all the way as stinging feeling is not gone completely. This hole process happened in one month as I listed it in order. I have anxiety and feel very scared. Plz, any suggestion what this could be and how to go about it.... Thanks a lot for any help

My boyfriend who is only 22 has this problem. I love him but I've been worried it was health related. He does have the excess tummy fat, retracting ****, and he also doesn't precum. I recently found out that his **** has been retracting since he was a kid and I was worried until he later told me that he had a wicked sister who use to kick him down their often, like every week often, now I am thinking because of your post it is probably low testosterone and maby too much esteregin. Is that correct? I love him so much, and it does get frustrating at times, but I worry more about his health and the possibility of us having kids one day.
