Anyone who had prostate surgery experience penis length shortening?

@billybwbf2 and @pesquallie, my situation is completely the same as both of yours. I also had a routine infant circumcision (if you can consider cutting off part of a penis as "routine") which, pesquallie, I also considered tight. But my penis has shrunk following radiation for prostate cancer followed by a salvage prostatectomy. I was overweight up until 10 or so years ago, and although I am back under my ideal weight, the "pubic fat pad" under my belt has not gone away. As a result my previously average circumcised penis (I was always a grow-er rather than a show-er but six and a half inches when erect) also looks uncircumcised with what remains of my foreskin completely covering the glans and at times I "turn turtle" with my scrotum completely engulfing my penis. I no longer have the dexterity to use my penis pump but should probably try to refill the prescription of Cialis that my urologist is willing to prescribe for penile rehabilitation.

@bwjb it happened with me too! I have been circumcised since birth but now because of shrinkage the excess sling on my penis covers the head like a foreskin. I used to be well hung and proud so I documented my “before and after” for those wanting to know accurate facts in my situation! I was told I had an extremely large prostate which required me taking meds to shrink it even before surgery. That large prostate make have been the reason for my large shrinkage after surgery. The simple explanation given to me was (simply put) they cut your urethra tube in front and back of the prostate then see the urethra back together. The space the prostate took up is how much length you loose when they pull your penis into your body to sew the urethra together! Before surgery I was 6 inches soft. After surgery I was 3 inches soft. Before surgery I was 7.5 inches long when hard. After surgery I am 6 inches long when hard ( with the help of Tri mix). There you have it! What ever length you lose it is worth it to be cancer free!
