erected penis has lost size

[msr1981]

Hi, I noticed that my erection has shrunk by two inches. I used to be six inches but now I am four inches. Many have said that your penis cannot shrink in size but I believe that this is a myth. What could have contributed to this disaster? Can the penis go back to the original size?

As you may already know, my testosterone level is 9 nano mole per litre. Range is between 8-28. Could this be one of the reasons?

Wait.  Important question:  now, when you are fully erect, are you completely hang-a-towel, salute-the-free-world hard?

I didn't understand the hang a towel phrase but when i'm hard i'm hard but recently noticed that i'm more floppy than hard.

A more reliable way to measure penis size, used by urologists is the stretch test. They stretch it out and measure that. So wait until your penis is flaccid, stretch it out and measure. If it's 6", then no your penis hasn't shrank.

He means can you use it as a towel holder? Or alternatively, can you hang a heavy winter coast on it? Seriously, though, if you get your testosterone higher, you will get a better erection and you will easily see that you haven't changed in size. I know from personal experience.

Towel holder? No I make my servants, *ehhem* assisted living care provider, dry me off AND hold the towel too.

The only way to loose size is no bloodflow down there, for extended period, and even then its always normally corrected with proper T levels and bloodflow

Also, it makes sense to loose more girth than length, I bet your erection quality is off. can you not try cialis 2.5mg/day for a month and see if that restores it?

What I was getting at is that if you are rock hard, then your penis is all the length that it will be.  So, if your penis has lost size, it should be simply because it's just not getting as hard any more, which can be for many reasons of course.

I did the stretch test and its coming back as 4 inches. This is disastrous!

You don't need to stretch.  Again, you just need to know that it is rock hard.  It should ideally be above horizontal, especially in a young guy.  If it's not, then you've got work on the endothelium and testosterone (more than likely).

There is no need to do such things are stretching your penis. When your T is optimized, you'll notice you haven't lost any girth or length.
