Thought I'd join this. My problems started on and right after quitting finasteride(Gefina 5mg) as my genitals went completely numb and new veins emerged along my shaft. After 8 months the feeling has returned to 80%, but the texture of my **** is still greyish, rough, my **** is narrower and points to the left and the new veins are still emerged and old veins sit more loose. After quitting fin my T-levels also crashed and I developed gyno and gained like 30 pounds in a few moths and felt like complete ****.
My libido is still gone and having an erection does not even feel ejoyable. Plus my **** is always dry now, no pre-*** to speak of.
A urologist diagnosed me with PD and prostatitis.I've nearly killed myself over this many times, but forums like these help a bit. I have no doubt in my mind that fin caused this. Just a warning.
Guys,
I don't know how many of you are interested but I've started a blog dedicated tot his subject. I hope to develop it into somewhere everyone can share their experiences and the info they've gleaned.

Please help support it - would be good to see some of the old posters like cjones84, Meagazoid, 421 etc checking in to let us know how they're doing.
your previous post ;
"and here i am now.23 with a half an inch penis soft and 3 inches hard. "
yes that is very small , I suppose your scrotum is bigger than your penis
what caused your problem and do you masturbate ?
morning erection = 5 inch long and circumference is 12 cm - that was measured by wrapping a piece of paper around it
If I had used my hand it would have been bigger I suppose
en.wikipedia / wiki/Human_penis_size top right photo - I would say mine is similar to that
the wikipedia article indicates that my penis is of normal size so I have to assume the problem is in my head even though I know what caused the shrinkage and felt it happen while trying to sleep
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_penis_size
5 inch erect length is normal 4.85 inch erect girth is normal
3.5 inch flaccid length is normal according to wikipedia
so it may be slightly too small flacid
Hi there.Cheers yossarian for leading me to this forum as i am a major sufferer of this shrinkage as well.Mines got so severe that i dont know what to do about it anymore.Has a solution or anything been found yet or What are people doing about this?
after 12 years of having this problem - don't you think it is worth it abstaining from masturbation for a while eg a month (I assume you will still get morning erections so will know the size from that)
My morning erections have never been as big as the one's I get when aroused.
My penis is still withing the normal range although it has slipped down the scale clightly over the years. Erect it's around 1-2cm thinner, flaccid it's about 60-65% what it once was.
Saw a private urologist who seemed as clueless as his NHS counterparts.
