Restarting the shrinking penis thread that reached the maximum number of posts further down the board.
Penis continues to get thinner and be painful.
Anyone got any developments, good or otherwise, to report?

No idea but I'd say your doctor is beig negligent if he's just sticking you on TRT without further examination. ANy more details about your circumstances?

Hey all,
I have been experiencing something similar to this shrinking problem. The only difference is I think I know what caused it. A little background -- I'm 24, no previous penis problems, and overall in good health. However, about 4 months ago, I broke up with my latest gf and decided to use the extra time I gained to restarting a jelqing routine that I had done off and on for several years (and seemingly with good results until now). I assume that I did this too hard this final time, and ever since I've had problems with my penis.
To start, it hangs much looser and looks thinner at the base, hanging more straight down than in the sort of semi-arch that it used to hang in. There has also been loss of girth toward the glans, where it seems more tapered than it had before. Like a lot of you, I have noticed a tendency for it to be a lot smaller in the flaccid state -- it feels shrunken and rubbery much of the time. I still get erections but it's more difficult without manual stimulation and they rarely seems 100%. In particular, the glans and corpus spongiosum do not seem to engorge properly.
In addition to the penis problem, my scrotum now hangs much lower and feels overheated, so that has become uncomfortable to sit down for lengthy periods of time. I have a reoccuring pain in the left side that extends from (seemingly) the testicle to the back of my leg. I feel that these problems are directly related to the penis problem, as if some sort of disruption in blood flow may be affecting everything in that area.
I have been to the urologist twice -- once a month ago and once today. Initially, he thought I might have prostatitis, and gave me antibiotics. That didn't help. I went back with my whole laundry list of symptoms that wouldn't go away -- he said he couldn't feel any plaque in the penis and there was nothing else obvious to go by, so he prescribed my Cialis and told me that it would "loosen up things down there" and that my erections would bounce back and whatever. I would hope so, but I doubt he has a clue what's really going on. So here I am, reporting to you guys about my problem.
A lot of you with similar symptoms have suggested theories about hormones, masturbation, fungal infections, etc. I'm not sure how much these things might apply to you, but in my case, it definately seems like it's more likely physical injury. I think a lot of people may have experienced something similar but that these injuries are too subtle to be detected my typical urologists. My 2 cents.
The issue has definately affected me psychologically and I wonder how much that might be exacerbating my symptoms. Regardless, I've been pretty hopeless about the situation and have contemplated suicide, though not very seriously. I have everything else going for me -- I'm a good looking guy, highly intelligent, highly talented, but to me, it doesn't amount to much if I can't make love to a woman, so I've been pretty low. Just hoping to hang onto some optimism. I'll be sure to post any updates that might help the rest of you.
