Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. Please understand, penis shrinkage is due to stress or anxiety. Penis cannot decrease in size as you already know. The area could shrink. The possible reasons are lack of sexual desire, stress or anxiety. Lack of sexual desire also is due to anxiety. You could have become stressed and mildly depressed when you detected that you have hypertension and cholestrol. You will be able to have sex when you realize these two are not a big problem at all. Take care.
If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
