Hmm, I also had this before it was very extreme. However it happened about two weeks after stopping Finasteride, which i had taken for 2 years.

Basically my penis was numb and rubbery. Could not get an erection at all. I could literally push my penis into my body, it was fucking terrifying.

After 3 weeks, things improved and i was able to get an erection. In fact my penis dramatically regained its size back to pre-finasteride size. But this caused another problem, i tried to get as hard as i could because i was excited and i injured my penis in many places.

I developed Peyronie’s because of this. It is because when on Finasteride your penis becomes fibrotic and atrophy because lack of full erections. So, i was able to get my full size back but now it curves and have some dents and wasting. But it’s still bigger than when i was on finasteride.

Now, i’m not sure this will happen to you because your T levels are lower than mine. My free T was at 512 and had high DHT. So i suggest you do a lot of heavy lifting, make ginger shakes (no calcium), and take testosterone boosters. If you can get on TRT therapy, ideally you would get DHT gel. BUT be very careful pushing your dick too hard if things do improve or you’ll get what happened to me.

EDIT:
Also do not touch it. Do not masturbate, do not do anything. Let it heal. Let your body get its T levels back up. Stop stressing, i know it’s hard but try going on walks, playing video games, etc.

After i developed Peyronie’s i was prescribed Pentoxyfilline and Cialis. The Cialis is a miracle and amazing drug, it allowed me to keep my dick stretched so that the scars healed properly. I did 5mg at night and supplemented with L-Citruline in the 3000mg in the day.

BUT keep an eye on your erections if you do take Cialis, priapism is extremely dangerous and almost happened to me. Buy some Sudafed, take 4 in case of emergency. Do this before you start the Cialis. If you have Sickle Cell Disease you can’t take Cialis.

Your dick is weak right now - do not stretch it! do not masturbate! do not have sex!

EDIT2:
Also, you should have gotten your DHT, Estrogen, and Cortisol levels checked as well. I don’t see those in your results.

Actually, we seem to have similar T/Free T levels.
Mine was

Total T: 517 ng/dL
Free T: 76.8 pg/mL (1.4% ratio)
DHT: 44 ng/dL

Your screenshot was in a different unit. So our results may be similar, but of course i’m not a doctor.

Bro Luis thank you for your post it gives me hope.

Here are my most recent results:

You can see my test came back slightly higher. My estrogen is higher than what it was a couple years ago by about 14 points but not significant.
Everything else seems good.

My course of events is a little similar. I stopped finasteride in February because of nipple itching. My sex drive was high as usual maybe even higher. I live with my gf and had sex many times a day and masturbated as well but nothing unusual as I always had a good sex drive. Then may 26 I couldn’t feel it it was down. This is when I posted. However a week later it was back to normal with high sex drive of course I masturbated and had lots of sex then back to square one. I keep trying to force it out. Even now while I am sitting a little hunched typing this it’s turtling meaning the skin is all retracted with the tip feeling like it’s about to go inside. Feels so weird. I am used to grabbing my penis even flaccid with a full fist but now it feels too small like I have to use my fingers.

I will leave alone and take Cialis. I was going to get a bathmate and phallosan seriously I am that desperate. You have to understand even tho my girl is understanding but without a sex life we will have a miserable life and fight a lot. Everything is at stake for me

But I don’t understand what the sudafed is for?

#67

I am going to get DHT and cortisol tested later. I am guessing the latter is through the roof because I literally wake up in panic at 6 am. I used to sleep 9-10 hours before this. Now maybe 7 hours.

I was thinking about taking things like magic mushrooms to relax me

#68

What’s weird is that last week prior to crashing I took 5mg cialis**. I took right now and literally no change in my penis no blood flow. It’s crazy shit

#69

I do not recommend VED or traction. I tried this before and hurt myself even more. Do not do it. I fucked up my dick real bad with manually pulling on it while it was flaccid after freaking out about the curve.

I believe we’re in similar timelines. I quit Finasteride end of April and in early May i started to full the rubbery dick.

I suspect you have injured your penis. Did you feel any acute pains after an erection/sex/masturbation? This happened to me as well. After the initial 3 week period i got very strong erections, took advantage of it, then back to square one as well. This went on for about a week and i couldn’t get an erection.

I tried my hardest one to get one and when i did i noticed a curve to the left and part of my penis wasn’t filling in. I freaked out and went to see a urologist right away. I was able to get an erection after that week but it was starting to become painful.

After seeing the urologist they prescribed me Pentoxyfilline, Cialis, Meloxicam, and L-Citruline (over the counter.) and diagnosed me with Peyronie’s disease.

I took this and things seemed well for a while. But again i continued to have sex and masturbate, do not do this. I developed an upward curve but the original (leftward) curve was gone. To this day only the upward curve is noticeable.

I think you should get a vacuum device just in case for the future, i have one but do not use it because i can still get erections. All that matters is getting blood in the penis. If things go well, the cialis will help get and maintain erections.

The sudafed is in case of emergency in case of priapism from Cialis, you have to be very careful. Priapism is literally the worst thing that can happen to a penis, even worse than Peyronie’s. If it’s bad enough you can’t even get an implant!

I have a wife we had an amazing sex life literally having sex every day. Fight this for your own penis, your girlfriend can’t help you - she will move on either way while you’ll be stuck with a fucked up penis. Just being real, i do not have sex with my wife anymore. Having sex messed me up even more just to try to please her.

I felt the exact same way with the rubbery small penis. I had to use my fingertips while used to using a fist to grab it while flaccid. Now things are back to normal but still battling and certainly not out of the woods yet.

I do not recommend taking any drugs to relax you, i didn’t do it. I did smoke some weed but have stopped smoking. I did not drink at all. I drank once since and i could not get an erection, even with the cialis.

I assume you mean you took 5mg cialis. The thing about it is that you need to be able to get an erection and blood flow into the penis. If you have an injury your body probably doesn’t want to let blood in to begin with. Additionally because of anxiety you aren’t able to get an erection. Cialis helps you maintain an erection easily, but if you can’t get one it won’t help you. This is why they give it to you at night because you’re relaxed when sleeping and will get nighttime erections.

So i’d say let it rest and don’t do anything for now. See a Urologist, particularly one that specializes in ED and Peyronie’s.

#71

Sorry yes i meant Cialis. I will fully rest it now without masturbation. I do get morning erections even without Cialis but they feel different. My penis gets heavy and falls to the right side while erect. It’s not a straight erection. It’s extremely hard to maintain… Penis goes from hard to micropenis in seconds. But I do feel it every morning. I don’t remember injuring it at all no incident of that. You know it feels like my dick came off from a 5 hours Jerk off marathon lol.

I have a phone appointment with urologist on Friday. What do you suggest I mention to him? I am not sure about pushing the finasteride issue too much because doctors will think I have hypochondria.

You took finasteride for years. I took it for 3 weeks and topically. Damage is unbelievable for such a short duration but I guess it is what it is

#72

If you have insurance, specially PPO make an appointment with a urologist you can actually go see. I’d push for an ultrasound.

I felt the same way, in fact i still have weird morning erections. With the Cialis, it’s a little bit better.

Sure just mention the ED, any pains that you have, mention any curves, and i’d mention the finasteride.

Good luck.

#73

Visited urologist… Arrogant guy. Looked at my penis for 5 seconds did a test said everything is normal. I mentionned finasteride. He referred to a psychiatrist and give me Cialis lol
I told him it’s shrunk its wrinkly its turtled up. He said all normal…

#74

So a little update
I stopped taking Cialis completely as I felt it wasn’t doing anything good
Penis is still dead
No feeling
Rubbery texture
The worst feeling is how it retracts when I am working out. I look at it and it’s barely an inch.
It’s like the blood supply is completely cut off.
I can get hard but it’s like it takes a lot of effort
In the morning I wake up and I feel it retracting inside me
Worst feeling ever
Saw another urologist. Said only thing to do is wait.

I didn’t mention the whole series of event after finasteride but I am putting it together now. I did 3 weeks topical like I said i stopped in February. I got pseudogyno. I am putting way more fat around my chest. I work out daily ( Bodybuilding) for over a decade and I can tell changes to my body. Over quarantine I had weights at home and worked out daily. I still put on 10 pounds of fat while maintaining usual calories. I am doing cardio twice daily and I look at my stomach and it looks like it belongs to a fat guy. It’s crazy. I am restricting calories but fat just won’t come off.

Anyway that doesn’t bother me as much as the penis situation. I just want it back to normal. The joy of being a man is having a functional penis.

#75

Does anyone know why is the penis turtling so much? That’s what bothers me the most. If I am working out doing squats or whatever I get this uncomfortable feeling. I look down and my penis is full retracted head deep inside the skin. The head is still visible buts like being swallowed. Same if I am sitting or bending over. Today I saw another urologist who acted like he doesn’t understand how this is an issue. Said he never heard of anyone complaining of finasteride. Said penis looks perfectly normal and maybe I just didn’t notice it before.

There is no way this is in my head. My penis shrinks to nothing and my skin is like hanging on it.

#76

What you are describing sounds like Hard Flaccid - look it up. It is a form of pelvic floor dysfunction - which is a common issue for people with PSSD, PFS, PAS. I have written before that some have good success with pelvic floor therapy - hopefully this points you in the right direction. And Urologists are beyond useless when it comes to pelvic floor issues - which is hard to believe I know but they dont get any training on it.

#77

I will also mention that many pelvic floor physical therapists ALSO dont know much about hard flaccid - I have been to 2 PTs that had no idea it was a pelvic floor thing - its crazy! They are just used to seeing women not men. You could go get evaluated and see if your pelvic floor is tight- probably a good place to start.

#78

I don’t get it man. That pelvic thing is too complicated for me I doubt I will find anyone in my city.

Why would the blood flow to my penis be all gone. It’s literally a micropenis in flaccid mode. Only extremely obese people will have that according to the urologist I saw.

#79

Update on my penis and situation in general:

Recap: Took topical fin for a bit over 2 weeks. I was also supplementing with saw palmetto and reishi mushroom and reservrtrol. Got gyno symptoms and auto-immune skin issue on scrotum. Stopped and they faded slowly libido was fine in fact maybe at a high (I always had very high libido) but…

Crash May 26, 2020: Penis retracting in flaccid. Shrinkage of penis.

current situation: uNFORTUNETALY zero improvement in penis. I tried HCG and cialis did not help. I have no feeling in the gland and lost an inch of erect size. Turtling happens ALL DAY long as my penis does not hang anymore like it used. I feel very unfonfortable even walking Please help. I still have the pseudo gyno breasts look enlarged
Other stuff is fat gain, constipation also snoring. I am sick of waiting for a solution.

I have no idea where our issues stem from.

I recently had total loss of penis sensitivity after using Cialis daily for a month or two.

If it was only Ed we could get an implant. But without feeling, it’s not enough (for me at least).

Did you ever get a nerve test done or something similar at your urologist? Or what did he say about the total loss of feeling?

#81

urologists throw me out of their office they laugh at me they think I have gone crazy and refuse any further testing. They say maybe I am cold

That sounds like a bad doctor.

It’s generally better to walk in the office and not mention fin though. Just tell them you can’t feel your penis and let them do the investigation. If you start talking about fin the moment you walk in, they might get defensive sadly.

If you chose this road, at least be methodical. Try to find / make theories you find plausible and test them out. Be very careful, it’s easy to make things worse.

Also it might be worth donating a few bucks into the new research the mods presented the other day (if you have a few bucks to spare). Who knows, maybe they’ll find the underlying issue.
