Not Sure What Happened

Over the years my flaccid length has taken a dramatic dip and I’m not sure why. I’m 32 years old now but when I was in my young 20’s I actually had a decent flaccid penis. At times it would actually come across as a large unit despite only being just above average in statistics. Nowadays it’s normally under two inches and actually turtles quiet frequently. What’s more of a concern is that I’ve seemed to have lost some length and girth and lately it’s been getting the better of me. Over the past years I’ve gone through spells of ED and honestly it’s about time I address this. I’m healthy but do suffer from severe depression… and I also have a little bit of Peyronie’s disease. I feel like I have several possible factors contributing to this and not sure what to pin point first. I’m not sure if the build up of scar tissue combined with maybe some later in life developed ligament deformities has caused this and of course the depression. So I’m looking for a solution, one that is between treatment and surgery. I’m feeling like I should get circumcised, undergo the xiaflex injections/post op exercises and get my ligament cut. The beauty of this is that PE is basically the post op therapy for xiaflex as well as the post op therapy for the ligament cut. I know that this won’t address the ED but maybe these are a contributing factor to the loss in flaccid and maybe even erect size.

On another topic I do suffer from body dysmorphia from my overall erect size. This comes from a perfectionist mindset and it’s definitely not the need to be large but more of to be well in the later half of the stats. I’m at a point where personally I have no problem looking at the penuma implant but also would want the largest size silicone (do it right the first time mentality). When the surgeon is deciding what size implant to use is your current size a deciding factor? Because if it is I’d rather do PE for a good year or two before surgery to maximize the potential size of the implant. Also is PE possible after the penuma implant?

I’ve PE’d many years ago for about two months straight and was a positive gainer. All positive signs and it definitely ballooned the penile tissue and made firm erections. One issue I have right now is the depression is so severe and with the loss in flaccid length getting up to snuff just to be able to jelqing is bothersome. Even then I find my penis “loosing interest” and sometimes the bastard shrinks on me mid exercise. Just what the hell happened to my unit?

What anti depressant and other medications are you on? Have you had any blood work done, specifically related to testosterone level?

Just Prozac and some basic anxiety medications. I’ve been on them long enough to feel that if anything it could possibly be helping the situation. I’ve gotten blood work done before and I’m smack dab in the middle, sometimes slightly low. However I know that based on my family profile that for me it’s low. I got hit with Lyme disease (actually right around the time all this happened) and lost a considerable amount of muscle mass. Low mass for my frame as all men in my family are stocky to bulky naturally. I’ve dabbled in exogenous hormone therapy before and notice that hcg, an ancillary you take with testosterone almost immediately cured the issue. While on hcg my flaccid length did start to return to normal but I was kegeling at the same time too. Just an observation. Blood work wise insurance won’t cover trt or even hcg. Luckily if I have to get crafty with resources I can manage. If trt and hcg is what my body needs possibly from Lyme disease then I’m all in. Other option is to see how naturally raising test overtime could turn out. Just my input for your question.

Anyone else have some input, advice, possible reasons why? I am guessing it’s now a combination of peyronies, stress/depression and lowered hormone levels.

As far as medicating with testosterone therapy I will say this to anyone reading this. Unless guided by an endocrinologist and doctor with blood work done every six weeks. It is incredibly dangerous to attempt on your own period. You can easily. I mean within weeks mess up your natural hormone balance (possible permanent damage), loos hair, develop dependency for the rest of your life, easily develop gynecomastia, develop hypogonadism, increase your estrogen levels by accident and actually get fat. Yes replacement therapy can actually make you gain fat cells rather then loosing them. Heart damage, high blood pressure, severe anxiety, unwanted irritability and more. Much much more. I say this in case some one reads this and thinks that trt will be this “magic pill” then end up causing irreversible damage! It is SO much more safe to be under the supervision of a doctor or endocrinologist if anyone even THINKS about trying it because I said it. Period.
