Shrnking penis (II)

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?

Oh my God, regarding blood flow, I thought I was imagining things.  It seems like ever since these problems started, when I sit on my kiester for a long period of time, my crotch/scrotum/penis go completely numb, and then when I stand up I can feel the blood rushing back in.  I never had that problem before.  Kind of lends itself to a circulation problem diagnosis, doesn't it?

So have you had any luck recently in terms of self-treatment or prognosis?  Either I'm used to the symptoms now, or my Saw Palmetto / Zinc / Vitamin C regimen has helped.  And I'm pretty sure it's the Zinc.  If I go without it a couple of days, my penis starts to ache and scrunch up.  Then I pop a Zinc pill, and a couple of hours later, presto!  Out he pops like a rabbit out of a hat.  Well not quite like that, but you know what I mean!

The pain is of the sharp, shooting variety felt at seemingly random points in the shaft/head.  There are other pains I experience, that are duller in nature and feel like they're deeper in the tissue but the sharp ones are the most common and worrying - on a bad day I'm feeling them literally every five minutes.



Testes feel fine although I do get the same numbness/pins and needles in my scrotum and testicles as I get elsewhere on the body if I've been cutting off blood flow, which sometimes happens when I've been sitting for prolonged periods.

I don't have the testicular atrophy either, although I have some loss of libido.  Erections are not hard (no pun intended) to get, but are painful sometimes.  

I wonder if varicocele is perhaps a side effect of whatever is happening in the penis.  

Have I asked what the pain feels like before?  Odd question, I know, but I think the pain can be different for different things.  For instance, my pain feels like a tenderness in the testicles, and an aching, draggy feeling in the scrotum.

Had a look over it and I'm still not convinced that Megazoid's excellent research is related to what I'm experiencing.

I don't have any testicular atrophy or many of the other symptoms related to varicocele.  I have no loss of libido or problems getting an ereciton.

Penile shrinkage and pain which began some years after the atrophy started are the only REAL problems I have.


I often wonder if there's some relation between the cysts and the shrinkage but can't make any connection

Yossarian;

Did you have a chance to look it over?  Pretty interesting stuff.

Yeah, I've got cysts on the spermatic cords too.  Couple of very small ones.

I'm so surprised that there are so many symptoms we all have in common, yet the doctors are stumped.  You would think that all this data would help.

Rocko,

Being massively overweight will make the penis look smaller but there won't actually be any reduction in the size of the unit.

As for masturbating, doctors will tell you that it can't be harmful but I'm convinced there's some link to the shrinkage I've experienced.

Morgannon,

Will have a look over that later.  Don't know about varicoceles but I've got a few cysts in the sperm cord.
