changes in penis appearance
has anyone experienced a lot of thick fleshy penis shaft skin, a wide shaft, and the skin covering the glans, hanging down making it so difficult to stand and urinate ?

1 ReactionLost 2" from 7" , so now average although girth is not much changed. 6 weeks post ralp and cannot get a "10" erection even with 20 mg Tadalafil but get 7-8 semi soft , not for penetration, just for exercise. Dry orgasm possible. If I pee, whether standing or sitting, inevitably some dribbles into scrotum or down shaft so need paper to wipe. Dribble into pad a few times a day so at end of day, pad is slight damp and smells.
But cancer free and there is hope for future improvement or so everyone keeps saying.
No thanks, I think with a little imagination one can figure out, I for one have been traumatized enough LOL #😳

1 ReactionMy radiation was EBRT. RO never stated rad or ADT as cause. I informed him of the shrinkage and also informed him that during the first month or so of Tx (Tx of radiation and ADT started together) I could feel a negative sensation in my testicles and area at different times throughout Tx. I'm still on ADT and don't necessarily feel the same sensation now. But I am remined every day that my testicles continue to shrink. Docs don't like to talk about this issue with their patients. I have heard from many Zoom or other videos by Urologists/oncologists, that you have to use it or you lose it. Same thing with guys on this site, one should attempt to get an erection regularly to keep the signal going down there.

2 ReactionsI have had both radiation and prostatectomy. I am guessing my permanently flaccid penis is about two inches shorter than previously. I am circumcised but my remaining foreskin or shaft skin rolls over my glans so that I now look uncircumcised.
Had the same changes occur with ADT treatment for 12 months. Urologist had not forewarned or advised me re the shrinkage, using a pump, or anything else. I learned it all from a local support group and this site. By that time the damage had been done. Am trying to rectify the situation, and so far the testicles seems to be getting back to normal, but not the penis. I will continue to use a pump religiously and hope for the best.
Good thoughts for all!
