Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 31 years old. For the last four years, I have noticed that my penis has shrunk by about 1.5 cm after I started using pills after a hair transplant. For two years, I have had erectile dysfunction. Previously I have used antibiotics for COVID-19, viral, and bacterial infections. My test results show prolactin levels of five to ten percent higher than normal. Also, I have been masturbating since I was ten years old. What is the reason for my complaint? Kindly advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. Hair transplant medications can shrink the penis, which cannot be reversed, and your penis will remain smaller. The elevated prolactin levels also indicate that hormonal changes in your body leading to shrinkage. Do you still take the medications? I suggest you stop tablet Dostinex (cabergoline) and start the anti-compulsion medication to reduce your urge to masturbate and estradiol hormone pills which will shut down your sexuality. I suggested you a treatment plan. Kindly revert for further queries. I hope this helps. Thank you.
