changes in penis appearance

Posted by postprostatectomy77 @postprostatectomy77, 4 days ago

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 ?

It's getting to the point where I have to take my reading glasses with me into the bathroom when I pee.

I 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.

same here, my shaft skin has thickened, and my penis has gotten very wide with all the loose skin hanging down around my glans, I 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!

my penis has gotten shorter along with so much extra shaft skin hanging down covering my glans, so I'm so wide at the glans which makes urinating a trick
