For the past five and a half years my penis has been slowly shrinking.

At first I thought that it was all in my head , that my hands had gotten fatter or something but eventually it became so noticeable that I measured my erection and saw it was 5cm( about 2 inches) shorter than it used to be.(measuring it the exact same way)

It seems to have stopped shrinking now but I still feel pretty bad about it. I was quite comfortable with the size it used to be and now feel insecure. I don't see how I could discuss this with my doctor and I've looked all over medical websites and can't find any symptom like this.

Coincidentally or not this happened at the same time as I had some family troubles which caused a depression I'm still trying to get out of, I stopped practicing sports so I lost my athletic looks, my hair started falling out(even pubic hair is considerably thinner) , developed an eating disorder(1 meal per day) and haven't had a girlfriend since.


I want to think that these are all related but I can't find anything to confirm it. Has anyone ever heard of something like this or have any ideas on how to treat it?

It sounds like you have gained weight normally if you get fatter then the penis shrinks into the fat thus making it smaller try loosing some weight also poor circulation can cause the penis to not be fully erect

All our muscles shrink as we age. Part of life... but...

...Losing 2 inchs in 5.5 years isn't exactly normal for aging related shrinkage

I'll PM you with a link to a website I frequent. I think it will help in more ways you can imagine

I'll start with sports:
When you play sports, train or exercise you work your pelvic floor muscles. Weak pelvic floor muscles will give you weaker erections, short lasting erections and in the long run possible erectile disfunction. This could be a contributing factor but i wouldn't consider this the cause.
Eating Disorder:
Unless that 1 meal per day is 3000calories you're going to be malnourished. AKA your body is eating itself to stay alive! Look at (god forgive me) people starving in africa. They're practically skin and bones. No doubt your penis isn't the only thing that has started shrinking since your eating disorder started? You need to try and get back to eating regularly and healthy. An unhealthy and inadequate diet can cause your hair to thin/fall out, your muscles will atrophosize and it will contribute negatively to depression.
Depression:
Like a double edged sword it causes problems and problems make it worse. You need to see a GP, Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist or counselor and talk through your problems. I'd see your GP first and get a referral to somebody experienced in depressive illness. You should address this problem first as it will make everything alot easier and more enjoyable. I suffered from major depression for 4.5 years so i know the hell it can bring

Keep your chin up, it's all going to get better if you make it happen
