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?

That's Megazoid's post.  Very interesting reading, and makes a lot of sense, really.  

I'm almost 40, so my syndrome is probably not connected with puberty (but I don't know for sure).  I still need to get an MRI of the head, since I was having panic attacks for a while, and fuzzy memories, etc.

I wanted to know if being unfit and masterbating alot at the same time could shrink the penis?

Although I never read the specific article, I have read a fair bit about varicocele and I have to say that none of the symptoms register with me.  Have you got a link?

Interestingly I've heard from someone else suffering atrophy that has a sympathetic endocrinologist.  His theory is that says it's a disorder resulting from a missed signal in the pituitary gland upon the onset of puberty, causing a regression in penis size.  

This might not fit with the symptoms of everyone but might make sense for some of us younger guys who first noticed the problem around the age of 16.

I actually need to get an ultrasound or saline erection scheduled.  If it is Peyronie's, then at least I know it's not going to do much more than crook my penis to the left.  

Good thing to hear the anti-depressants didn't cause anything bad.  I'm on 20mg of Lexapro for ADD/OCD and have to stay on this stuff for life.

I didn't show the article to the missus, but I did ask her if she knew or had heard anything about penile atrophy of any sort.  She basically said that she had never heard of something like that, but then again, she's not a specialist in that area.  She said an endocrinologist or a vascular specialist would be the best person to run that by.  Unfortunately, she's been so busy in the finaly year of her internship she hasn't had much time to talk to anyone.  She will be starting at an excellent clinic in Indiana shortly (July of this year), and she will have lots more time and opportunity to talk to people there about these things.  

Did you read that article from Megazoid?  I can't remember or find the hyperlink now, but it was very informative about varicocele.  Sounds like all of the penis problems can be attributed to lack of testosterone, which could be caused by good old Mr. 'cele.

It does sound like Peyronies - really hope that's not the cas ethough.  Have you had an ultrasound or saline erection to test for it?

I've been on anti-depressants in the past but i never noticed any worsening/improvement of the **** symptoms as a result.  Also, this was happening long before that, on both occassions I was only on tablets for the minimum duration and it's continued long after I stopped taking them.

Have you showed that article to your missus?  As a physician she might be able to shed some light if it's possible or hocus-pocus.

Whoops, sorry forgot to answer your question about pain in the penis.  Yes, I had it, but don't anymore.  However, I have noticed I have some sort of tissue thickening on the right side of it, and it bends to the left - sounds like Peyronie's doesn't it...
