Re: Reduced penis size post-op

Good idea Richard. Maybe 2 inches is a bit exaggerated but it's at least 1.5 inches gone to a better place. I found the surgery quick and painless and I didn't have any incontinence or recurrence ( yet ) so I guess I shouldn't complain. I do need Viagara however to function at all - and I find it's almost not worth the effort. I am pleased to report that my golf game has improved however. Thanks for the comments guys.

Re: Reduced penis size

Aloha,
I suspect that whether you have surgery or radiation, the penis size is reduced. Even a couple of years after EBRT/IMRT I'm definately shorter and possible smaller around. Heck, what we remember and what reality was is always difficult to reconcile. Besides, looking back is not good for you. Try to live in the present, your partner will understand.
Happy New Year,
Joe

Re: Reduced penis size

Remember the "C" in PC is the no 1 priority, followed by continence followed by erectile function. Size does not matter, being able to have successful sex does

Re: Reduced penis size

I just wanted to reply to state where I ended up after my radical prostatectomy. I had measured myself in my 20's and re-measured myself one year after my surgery with a Caverject injection. My penis is 1 1/2 inches plus shorter and about 1 inch less in circumference. Talk about trauma to one's manhood, but I'm alive and well. The wife just does not understand why I am concerned about it.
