Has anyone ever had a "shrinking" penis problem?

Mine is getting shorter. And I didn't have any room to give any inches away either. I used to be 4.5 inches long, maybe 4.75 on a really really good day. But now I am just 4 inches. Bummer. I looked up and saw what some of the reasons may be, and though it is not "life threatening" or anything like that, it is still a bit frustrating. Anyone else ever have this issue?

Start jelqing, use a pump, and do some stretching. Also, you did not indicate your age, but dicks do shrink with age.

Penises don't actually shrink with age, at least not their hard size. What happens is that with age some men lose the ability to achieve a full erection, or at least an erection with the turgidity of what they used to achieve. It means its smaller when hard, but really only because they aren't hard.

The only things I am aware of that will technically shrink a penis are gaining weight and circulatory problems. If you've gained some fat that will accumulate around the base of your penis and make it appear shorter, estimates are 20-30 pounds will cover 1 inch of penis, though there is a lot of variation there. If you smoke or do anything else that negatively impacts circulation then you might have less blood flow. Guys who smoke typically have problems getting erections or getting as hard as they should, which makes it seem smaller.

Other than that I'm not aware of anything that would cause it to shrink. Your body will shrink as you get older, but that's due to losing bone density which obviously doesn't affect your penis. In fact it might make it look proportionally larger along with the effects of gravity.

I had a perfectly good cock, but liked the idea of a bigger flaccid member. I started jelqing (admittedly without the proper warm up). I had been longer than 7 inches when erect. After a few months, I noticed that I was down to 6.5 inches erect. Lesson learned. I haven’t done it since.
Feel pretty stupid now, but no point in getting lost in regrets.

I came here looking for this same answer. I've noticed mine has shrunk in the past few years too. I guess its an age thing as I'm in my mid 40s. I've read the older you get it shrinks up some. So those of us who small to average really notice it more than the endowed men I guess. I'm not sure why but glad to see other guys experiencing it. There probably is some truth to "use it or lose it". I certainly dont have sex or even JO as much as I did when I was younger. Maybe that has something to do with it.

You kind of look like a "more endowed" man to me... just saying'.

I was just under 6 inches erect in my youth, now about 5 1/4. This is because of a fat pad above my cock and also because my erections aren't as strong as they once were.

That is true. That annoying fat pad does encroach on how your penis and balls hang too. So its probably a combo of age and body shape changes, unfortunately.
