So it turns out your penis can shrink by up to an inch throughout your lifetime.
Yeah. Bummer.
But before you psych yourself out and start tearing through your kitchen in search of the tape measure, hang on. Now I’m going to give you the good news:
Where there is a penis that could shrink, there is a way to prevent that penis from shrinking.
In fact, there is even a way to reverse it (but more on that later).
There are a few main reasons that a penis would decrease in size over the years. And avoiding the catastrophic fate of a semi-shorter penis is as simple as knowing what these reasons are.
For the most part, no matter what obstacle you’re facing, there are simple solutions that will help you avoid losing any length down there.
Here are the most surprising causes of penis shrinkage, along with the fastest way to reverse it:
One of the biggest reasons a penis may shrink, and one of the reasons that tends to affect the large majority of men at some point, is aging.
Unless we discover the fountain of youth sometime soon, there isn’t much we can do about the coming years, and the ways our body will change over time.
Your body becomes slightly less adept as the years pile on. And your overall abilities (especially sexual abilities) will decrease.
This is actually normal, if rather annoying.
Fatty deposits build up in the bloodstream as we get older. And these deposits create obstacles for the blood running through your body.
If less blood is able to make it through your body at one time, because some is being blocked or stalled by fatty deposits, less blood will be available to flow to the genitals.
Without proper bloodflow, your penis may start to lose some length, even when flaccid.
The only way to put off the effects of aging for as long as possible is to take extremely good care of your body. You should also try to keep yourself in peak physical condition as long as possible.
You can even take action to boost your bloodflow naturally down there.
This doesn’t necessarily mean you need to start a whole new diet and fitness plan. It just means making smart choices, staying active, and staying on top of any health problems you encounter.
2) How’s Your Prostate?
This might be old news to you at this point… but I have a new reason for you to pay attention to your prostate:
If you don’t take precautions, you may eventually need to get surgery on the prostate gland, or have it removed.
And if this is the case, you may find yourself within the 70% of post-op patients who report a smaller penis size as a result of the surgery.
The bad news is that doctors do not know why this surgery would cause a penis to shrink.
And therefore they don’t have any solutions to the problem as of yet.
3) If You’re A Smoker…
Then you may want to put a stop to that habit for the sake of your manhood.
Unless you don’t smoke, in which case…proceed. 🙂
As if you needed another reason to get rid of that nicotine habit, smoking may be one of the fastest routes to waking up one morning minus an inch.
Even though scientists do not know the exact reasons why, nicotine makes your blood vessels contract in size, which decreases the amount of bloodflow to your organs at one time.
This makes your heart have to work harder to get enough blood through your body, which strains it, and can lead to a number of heart and health problems.
But besides that, smoking for long enough can cause enough strain on your blood vessels to prevent you from maintaining a full-sized erection.
Smoking can also cause your penis to shrink due to your body’s inability to push blood to all the places it needs to go for full-mast.
Luckily, this cause is usually reversible with the right diet and exercise, or the right bloodflow-boosting strategy–and of course, going cold turkey with the cigarettes.
Another rare cause of penis shrinkage is Peyronie’s Disease.
This disease is characterized by the formation of a plaque in the penis–or in other words, a buildup of scar tissue in the penis that can cause it to bend, and that can make sex painful or impossible.
There is still nothing concrete known about how the disease happens, but most doctors assume it is a result of some acute or chronic injury to the penis.
Either that, or the disease is one of the illustrious autoimmune diseases out there, and happens when our immune system malfunctions and begins attacking our own cells and organs.
There isn’t much you can do to avoid an autoimmune disease yet.
But in the meantime, don’t try any crazy acrobatic sex moves, and do your best to block or dodge all low-flying objects.
Another unfortunate–although rare–cause of shrinkage?
Side effects to certain prescriptions and dangerous medications.
It is most unfortunate that sometimes to help ourselves, we also end up hurting ourselves.
Some medications, if taken for a significant period of time, can cause a penis to shrink.
These include medications that may be prescribed for something like depression, or even some that treat problems with or provide supportive care to the prostate.
If you are prescribed a medication for these purposes and notice a difference in size, the best thing to do is go to your doctor and get your questions answered.
He or she will be able to give you alternate options, and will very likely assure you that the side effects of the medication that brought you in will disappear (or in this case, re-appear :)) when you stop taking it.
Ultimately, though, the fastest way to reverse any shrinkage, and prevent any further shrinkage from happening… is to take matters into your own hands:

Like I said earlier, one of the main causes of permanent penis shrinkage… is low bloodflow.
