Since being on hormone therapy my penis has lost at least 1 inch in length as anyone else had the same problem and what can I do to improve things 

  • Hi, both my scrotum and member have shrunk to a time when I was a slip of a lad but for me I see it as a ‘small’ price to pay for either a cure or in my case as I’m metastatic, years added to my life. 

  • Hello  

    This is a known side effect of Hormone Therapy. It affects everyone in different ways and depending on how long you have been on Hormone Therapy and if you have taken any "precautions" to try and prevent this during your treatment. Long term Hormone Therapy can cause permanent damage to your penis.

    This old thread has some useful comments and links to information.

    As you are obviously worried about this issue I would advise you to contact your GP who can pass you onto either urology or the local sexual health clinic.

    I hope this helps.

    Best wishes - Brian.
