Shrinking penis after surgery and radiation

You're correct @jakedduck1, the RestoreX device was originally developed to treat penile curvature due to Peyronie's disease. It works by applying gentle, dynamic pressure to stretch and shape the penis. The length gain is in part due to curvature correction. Research is now being conducted to see if the same approach could be used to improve penile form and functioning after prostate cancer surgery. Here's an article about a preliminary study:

When you mention his psa was high in 2011, may I ask how high was it in 2011? I'm going thru a very similar experience. I had radical prostatectomy in 2013 and about 8 years later after having psa results <.1, I blew a .2 then .3 right before about 38 radiation treatments. I just receive a new ultrasensitive psa result today saying it's <0.02, which I think may mean it's undetectable and regular psa test required. Scheduled another for 6 months out. I've been on a 6 month regime of Orgovyx with one month left to go. Thank you in advance!

Kindest regards,

I tried all the oral medications too with no results.
An acquaintance of mine suggested I try an injectable medication called trimix that works well for him. The thought of injecting my penis sounded painful but was pleasantly surprised when I barely felt it. The next time I used it I didn’t feel the injection at all.
The only problem is it has to be prepared at a sterile compounding pharmacy which makes them expensive and are not usually covered by insurance.

@colleenyoung
Please correct me if I'm mistaken but the stretching device you referred to last year, I thought any length gained was as a result of straightening any curvature that may exist from Peyronie’s Disease or another condition.
If any length is gained I don't believe is long lasting.
Good luck @rcs,
Jake

I haven’t been able to have erection since 20 treatments a year ago. I have tried highest dose of cialis but nothing. Any thoughts??

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.

pulls and hold for 10 sec

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?

@songwriterdanny
Prostate surgery can cause the side effect of penis shrinkage. Your exercises weren’t the reason your penis increased in size. It should return to the size it was on its own.
The penis has a couple cylinder-shaped chambers that fill with blood which causes an erection. No muscles in it.
Take care,
Jake

exercising has helped me

exercising my penis has grown back and more
