Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate: Male/57 - Large sac of fat - above genitals - penis shrunk real bad - destroyed sex life with wife - was of average size of 7 in - came to belly button - now can barely reach it...
The commonest cause is a big lipoma or diffuse collection of fat. This makes to show the changes as you have mentioned and is is always relative. This is so as proper surgery to remove this fat of pad will improve on everything, best life as before with your wife and yourself.
Consult a General Surgeon nearby, get a clinical examination, confirmation by high resolution ultrasonography and plan for a proper surgical correction and your problem will be solved.

I hope this answers your specific query, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
