Question: Hi, This is regarding penis size and want to know is my penis is fine or not
My age is 23. From last month I am under undergoing very bad time. My penis size decreased suddenly. Earlier it was nearly 2-2.5inches(without erection) but now most of the time it goes to 1-inch and when bend to forward it almost disappears!!) and even decreases more while bathing. Please help me :'(
I want to know what may be the cause and how to get cured and it's affects on sexual life. By the way i tried to masturbate and i think that part is fine as earlier.
Please help me, it is very frustrating and whole day I am concerned about it and not able to concentrate on anything.
Actually I can see difference, fore skin totally covers everything and when i bend forward only foreskin is seen and penis entirely goes inside and recently i gained some 5kgs.
So please help me and what can be significant injury to penis as mentioned by you.
Brief Answer:
Completely normal and fit for sexual life.
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for writing to us,
It is completely normal, do not panic first of all.
As you said earlier your penis size decreases as you bath, it is totally normal as cold stimulates the contraction of the external genitalia, which looks like constricted.
As you have put up some weight, I need you to lose some weight, as your tummy grows, you feel like your penis getting contracted, but it has nothing to do with the sex life.
Avoid stress first, as it is the most common cause of impotence.so do not panic and masturbation is completely normal.
Some people might have excess foreskin covering their glans, looks like it engulfs the penis, and that to completely normal.
As a whole you are completely normal, and fit for sexual life, no worries needed.
Take care.

I am really thankful to here your review.
And one more doubt, i have uncircumcised penis. Do I need to undergo Circumcision surgery? Do uncircumcised will create any problems in future?
Thanks in advance.
Brief Answer:
yes,circumcision is recommended.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, welcome back
Am happy to know you are satisfied,
Yes, if you are willing for a circumcision, I would say yes because it has lot of benefits.
Like protecting you from phimosis (fore skin cannot be fully retracted over the glans penis) and limits any future risks of penile(penis) carcinomas.
Hope helped your query, feel free to contact for future queries.
Take care.

One last query, Today i started running on tread mill and i feel like my penis is contracting while running when I checked I noticed that penis length is less than 1inch :(. Is this normal or any abnormality is present? And what all exercise are not supposed to do.
And can you please give me details about circumcision surgery, like procedure, number of days rest to be taken, precautions and approximate treatment cost.
Thanks in advance.
Brief Answer:
Totally normal.circumcision is simple procedure.
Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Nice to see you again,
The size of external genitalia (penis) depends upon the flow of blood in it, so it is completely normal .
All exercises are allowed but try to have frequent pauses as per your stamina.
Yes, of course circumcision is a minor operative procedure, which takes only 2 or 3 days of rest.
The approximate cost of the surgery varies between institutions, so you have a better idea by visiting a nearby hospital.
Hope helped you, leave your valuable feedback.
Thank you.
