Penile retraction is a decrease in its size. Sometimes, the shrinkage is permanent, others it is the result of a treatable condition or due to bad lifestyles.
Penile sizes vary between men, and in some cases considerably: a study has shown that neither race nor ethnicity have anything to do with penis size .
While many men may think they have above average penis size, many fall within the length that experts consider to be normal. Factual facts about penile retraction :
- People who are dissatisfied with their penis size can look for ways to increase it.
- As a man ages, the penis and testicles will undergo some scaling.
- Many men report that their penises seem smaller as they gain weight.
Average Penis Size Study
A study published in BJU International finds that the average penis size falls within the following values:
- Average length of a flaccid penis: 9.16 cm (about 3.6 inches)
- Average length of a stretched flaccid penis: 13.24 cm (about 5.2 inches)
- Average circumference of a flaccid penis: 9.31 cm (about 3.7 inches)
- Average circumference of an erect penis: 11.66 cm (about 4.6 inches)

Penile
shrinkage is very common with male aging, but there are many other reasons why the penis can shorten: 1. Aging
As a man ages, fatty deposits accumulate in the arteries causing a reduction in blood flow to the penis . This results in the weakening of the muscle cells in the erectile tubes inside the penis which produce erections when filled with blood; consequently, less blood flow results in lower or less stable erections .
Another possible reason for penis shrinkage isincrease in scar tissue caused by years of small injuries due to sex and sport. This buildup affects the spongy erectile tissues of the penis, causing them to shrink and limit the size of the erection. 2. Weight gain
The impact on weight gain , particularly around the stomach, is a real concern for many men as they age. Although a man’s penis may appear smaller with weight gain, it has not shrunk. The reason he looks smaller is that the penis is attached to the abdominal wall, and when the stomach expands, it pushes it in. Should a man lose weight, his penis will regain its usual shape and size. 3. Prostate surgery
Research shows that men who have undergone surgery to remove the prostate gland (radical prostatectomy) may experience penile shrinkage. A report in the International Journal of Impotence Research found that 71% of men who underwent a radical prostatectomy experienced a decrease in penile circumference .
The fact remains that researchers do not explain why the shrinkage occurs after a radical prostatectomy. Some think it may be connected to the urethral tube, which is connected to the urinary bladder, which shortens during prostatectomy. 4. Peyronie’s disease
In Peyronie’s disease, fibrous scar tissue develops inside the penis causing it to sag during an erection. More often than not, a curvature is not a cause for concern, but for some men, the curvature could be symptomatic or painful.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), Peyronie’s disease affects 23% of men between the ages of 40 and 70. It is possible that more men experience this condition but do not report it to their doctors due to embarrassment and although the disease develops with age, it has also been detected in younger people such as the 30s, according to the NIDDK.
In addition, Peyronie’s disease can cause onereduction in the length and girth of a man’s penis. Sometimes the disease recedes spontaneously, at others it stays the same or gets worse. Doctors will only consider therapy if the curvature is painful or prevents intercourse . Surgery may be adequate to remove scar tissue that is causing the shrinkage, curvature, or pain. 5. Use of drugs
The use of some drugs can reduce penile circumference. These include Adderall , prescribed for attention deficit or hyperactivity, some antidepressants and antipsychotics , and some drugs prescribed to treat an enlarged prostate.
A 2012 study reported in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that some of the male study subjects taking finasteride to treat an enlarged prostate reported smaller penis size and reduced sensation. A 2014 study reported in the journal Urology found that 41% of men taking dutasteride for an enlarged prostate experienced some form of sexual dysfunction. 6. Smoking Chemicals from cigarette smokethey can damage the blood vessels in the penis, preventing the penis from filling with blood and stretching. Regardless of the stimuli and the effect on the brain, if the blood vessels are damaged, the penis will not achieve an erection. A study by Boston University of Medicine looked at the erect penises of 200 men.
According to the report, the results of the study showed that smokers had shorter erect penises than men who did not smoke. This is because smoking inhibits blood flow, preventing the penis from stretching, which could reduce penile length. In fact, smoking is also associated with erectile dysfunction (ED), according to a 2017 study reported in BJU International. ED affects a man’s ability to maintain an erection and smoking can prevent erections. What are the Therapeutic Choices
Most causes of penis size reduction, such as smoking and weight gain, can be addressed if lifestyle changes. If medications cause penis shrinkage, a drug substitution can reverse the contraction.
For some men who experience penile shrinkage after prostate removal, the condition may improve on its own within a few months to a year. Penile rehabilitation (a form of physical therapy) after surgery can help men regain erectile function, and drugs, such as Viagra and Cialis, can increase blood flow to the penis.
Treatment of Peyronie’s diseasefocuses on removing scar tissue from inside the penis, both with drugs and surgery. Although penile contraction is irreversible, repairing the curvature can help improve sexual function and reduce pain. When to See a Doctor
Most of the time, penis shrinkage is related to age, medication, or lifestyle, such as smoking or obesity, and rarely requires treatment. Adopting healthier lifestyle habits or changing medications can often improve penile circumference and reduce other sexual problems.
Any man who is experiencing penile shrinkage, pain or other sexual problems, or has concerns about cancer, should see their doctor or urologist who can answer questions, reassure patients, and offer tests and treatments if needed. [/ Vc_column_text ] [/ vc_column] [/ vc_row]
