Question : My penis has shrunk over the last several years, even while my weight has remained the same (230 lbs). The foreskin is now covering most of the head. It used to be below the head.
Brief Answer:
happens with age
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As we age the elasticity of our skin decreases. It may be that your penis is not really smaller but that the foreskin is just looser. If you are able to have erections and your penis functions properly then do not worry about it. If you are not having normal function then see a urologist for an evaluation and treatment.
Please let me know if you have further questions

Background. I have three children, all conceived by intercourse. My penis as of 4 or 5 years ago was around 5.5 inches and circumcised. The glans was completely free of foreskin. It is now 2/3 covered by foreskin with has attached to the glans. Intercourse is difficult as it does not extend far enough. My weight has remained around 225 and I'm 5' 10". I started using TRT injections around 4 years ago. Would human growth hormone HGH be helpful? What other remedies are possible?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Brief Answer:
see urologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the follow up.
The only thing I think may be helpful in this case is a surgical procedure to free the foreskin from the glans. I doubt that growth hormone or other supplements will help. It is best for you to see a urologist and get their opinion. There may be some office procedure they can do to free up the foreskin, but from what you describe I think you may need a surgery.
