OK - just a quick reply
I think I hit the nail on the head with your mastubation habits
"my attempts to stay away from masturbation fall flat as I need to get it hard and measure it"
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)
"The thing about shrunken penis pictures is that it would only be of any use if it was next to pictures of it before the shrinkage began."
are you saying that your penis is a "normal" size then ? eg within the range that looks normal in other words it was at the large end of the scale before - but is now at the small end of the acceptable scale
if your doctor had not seen your penis before the shrinkage would he just say thats a normal size penis
flaccid mine is 3 inches and just under 1 inch of that is foreskin with no penis inside it , in other words 2 inch penis - 3 inch foreskin and it was only about an inch long at its worst point
before the shrinkage I had no problem getting my penis out of my trousers to urinate , but I can no longer use the urinals
You have seen several doctors - have you paid for a private consultation ? it may be case that the NHS isn't interested in this type of problem , a lot of men pay privately for circumcision because of the NHS's attitude to the issue
without pictures people will say you are imagining it
"you seem to have had the problem for 10 years and only recently bothered to do anything about it"
I first noticed this when I was about 16, 12 years ago and a year after Is tarted masturbation. The first time I visited a doctor about this was nearly 11 years ago. First urologist I saw not long after that. Have had scans, x-rays, blood tests, measurements taken etc. Have now seen four different urologists and have spent my entire adult life searching for a diagnosis/treatment. For the past five years I've trawled the Internet almost daily looking for information.
Glad to hear you're not experiencing any major pain. Hope it stays that way. Keep me updated as to how the absitenence affects you. My problem is that when I see it's gotten smaller in the flaccid state then I panic thinking about how these changes affect my erect size (which is the only one I'm really interested in) and so my attempts to stay away from masturbation fall flat as I need to get it hard and measure it. Also, getting an erection provides at least some temporary relief from the pain I experience in my penis.
The thing about shrunken penis pictures is that it would only be of any use if it was next to pictures of it before the shrinkage began.
I know what you mean about doctors just thinking you're paranoid about size. I'm not even bothered if mine is a bit below average - I just don't want it wasting away to nothing.
Don't you agree it would be useful to see a photo of a shrunk penis , you seem to have had the problem for 10 years and only recently bothered to do anything about it - I am considering taking a photo of mine flaccid
I'm 37 and only had the problem for 1 year
I have probably only masturbated once in the last fortnight (I became interested in a woman 2 weeks ago so not interested in masturbation or porn at the moment) before that I mastubated a few times per day but only going far enough for ejaculation once per day - so it's early days the penis seems a bit thicker after abstinence (and longer when flaccid)
before the shrinkage I mastubated a lot more , but now I just stroke the sides to get it hard rather than pulling the foreskin back and forth as I am scared it will disappear into my body
the penis was like a jelly wrapped in foreskin when flaccid
no pain really but I would say it is a bit sore

10) Do you feel like your penis has came loose at the base and can move around allot more freely? "
when masturbating I would say the foreskin goes clockwise and the penis anti clockwise as if it is dislodged
perhaps the ligament has been damaged by masturbation
I will measure my penis - are you asking for erect measurements ?
I did visit a private GP but he said there was nothing wrong with it , it is certainly the case that male doctors do not like looking at patients penises and seem to think that men are obsessed with penis size - I just want an average size one
It was a waste of my money
It looks like I will not be masturbating for a while so I will see if it improves after a month
hey guys i dont have that condition myself but it must suck big time... Ive read only a few of the posts so i may have missed it, but are any of you on or considered penis enlargement exercises (jelqing) or an extender? it may reverse/encourage growth. cheers
I can only assume that the lack of pictures/knowledge of this subject is because it is so rare/new and because the medical profession refuses to accept it happens.
How old are you bud? Also, how much have you shrunk and do you have any pain? Is this still happening and are you still masturbating?
I guess the longest I've ever refained is about 5/6 days. Probably not long enough to make any difference
Why aren't there any pictures of shrinking penises on the internet , or why haven't you or anyone else complaining of the condition posted pictures
I have had the problem for 1 year , I know what caused it - excessive mastubation and I felt it shrink while I was sleeping on the same day, trying to arouse it just made it retreat more
I was unable to get an erection after this and the small size made it difficult to clean also the foreskin had remained the same size of course but the penis was smaller causing urine to remain
Urinating is probably the first thing you will notice a change with , as it will leak on your trousers and over the floor when previously it extended far enough out of the trousers to do the job without mess
of course this urine caused balanitis as that was the GP's diagnosis of the problem
I think you mentioned earlier that you masturbate to reassure yourself that you can get it to a reasonable size erect - how long have you refrained from masturbation - would that make a difference ?
