I want to ask all of you here if you have remember the sensations in your penis and testes after quitting FIN (or, approximately 2 weeks after quitting as we’ve stated elsewhere in this forum). I quit FIN cold turkey and in 2 weeks to 2.5 weeks after quitting, I remember lying in bed one night when the sensations became very strong. It was during this time that my penis and testes shrank dramatically. The sensations I felt seemed to be the tissues in the penis and testes shriveling or involuting.

In any case, months later, there are sensations in my penis similar to that time after quitting Finasteride. similar but not identical. The only pattern I have noticed as this occurs is that the sensations are more noticeable when I been feeling utterly hopeless, emotionally distraught, and when I get hung up on thoughts about the past. It’s as if my horrid emotional state directly affects my penis.

survey question is about the above^^^^

Aside from the penis and testes–but not seperate from them–my prostate (or thereabouts, but definitely NOT the large intestine) feels like it spasms daily. I know how spasms of the bowels feel and it has definitely NOT been my bowels. Have you felt this? often?

I remember after quitting Fin and the sensations returned while wathcing porn it was awesome and a relief, yet I never experienced any shrinking.

I do think it is a valuable point that one’s emotional state is directly related to how one’s penis is feeling however I never experienced any shrinking…

Mikey, the sensations I’m referring to are bad sensations.

tbone I got this after getting very run down a couple months ago but not right after quitting. It was awful. It reversed after about 3 weeks but during that time i could hardly sit due to the uncomfortableness…

You say it reversed? so, do you mean to say that your size (unerect) has come back also?

#6

yes tbone, that’s correct. I don’t think it’s a tissue damage issue, or at least my episodes haven’t been. So it’s not gone forever but whatever is controlling it has gone haywire. But for a period of 3 weeks recently I was scared shitless…

I notice the shrinkage part too more now if I’m really tired or overdid a workout. I think the body uses up what it needs, I’m still in the process of resetting my levels I think with exercise combined with good nutrition.

back to another episode of shrinkage. I think due to lack of exercise and upped stress level for 2 weeks. :frowning:
