How to manage erection problems and a shrunken penis?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 29-year-old male and a virgin. I have been masturbating for the past seven years. Recently, I have noticed that my erection goes away quickly without continuous stimulation, although I can achieve an erection easily.

I also feel that my penis has shrunk by about 2 inches when erect. Please help.

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

First, I assure you that when an individual is masturbating, he is considered to be fine. I need some clarification on the second point. Please clarify the following:

1. Whether the erection is spontaneous and during what time?

2. Any relationship of erection to masturbation?

3. Your BMI (body mass index) and any increase in body weight now?

I think that with this information, I can better guide you.

Thanks.
