Shrinking penis after surgery and radiation

How can those abnormal groin muscle contractions be resolved?

Is he also on ADT? That will cause a lot of penile and testicular shrinkage.

Hey Jake, you're right that after prostate removal penile shortening often reverses on its own within 6 to 12 months.

@songwriterdanny, kudos on using exercising during your recovery and for your health. Experts aren’t sure why the penis shortens after prostatectomy. One possible cause is abnormal muscle contractions in a man’s groin that pull the penis farther into their body. Perhaps exercising has helped release groin muscle contraction. I couldn't say. But what I do know is that exercise is good for you. What type of activity to like the best?

I had the radical prostatectomy 4 years ago.
Fortunately some nerve endings were saved.
The surgeon suggested masturbation to maintain some level of sexual normality.
With the use of sexual images on the web I managed to get a weak erection which was enough to reach orgasm.
What i noticed was that it was best when the bladder was not empty.
The orgasm contractions caused a strong ejaculation but with urine.
This was an improvement over ejaculation without urine.
For those who can still have relations with a partner a condom is recommended....

I have the same problem. I am hoping in 6 months to get a penile implant to rectify the problem and some others.

I had shrinkage after surgery, more after radiation, and the biggest occurred after Lupron injections. I was circumsized
as a baby. My penis has shrunk back int skin and looks like I was not. This causes problems when I get a strong urge to urinate and I have trouble getting a hold of anything. Thus, pee goes everywhere.

Interestingly, I "discovered" that masturbation and orgasm is not tied to erection.

It took a good 12 months after my surgery before I began to have any hint of erection but under the use it or lose it part of penile recovery therapy I "masturbated" 2-3 times a week. Though flaccid, I did orgasm. That's when I learned an erection was not necessary for an orgasm. Even when I was on 18 months of Lupron and my genitalia shrunk to it's pretty-pubescent phase I could masturbate and achieve orgasm though certainly no erection. I

I am one of the fortunate ones, by 18 months after nerve sparing surgery I was able to achieve an erection albeit not what it was before.

I was one of the 20% or so who do not lose their libido while on Lupron,

Today, over eight years from my surgery I can achieve a pretty good erection with Cialis and stimulation. There is no intercourse with my wife though, she quit awhile back

It may be early given your surgery to begin having erections orgasms but both are possible though you may find only one, orgasm.

Do much depends on your pre-surgery function, whether your surgery was nerve sparing, the skill of your surgeon and your rehabilitation therapy.

I am probably outside the norm in terms of my recovery of function, sadly, I am probably well within the normal when it comes to my wife of 32 years and no sex, and I mean none!
