Low T and elevated depression Equals shrunk dick

Hey guys so i officially measured my dick after going through a shitty past few years, stopped going to gym, stopped having sex and pe. Over the last 3 years my dick went from 7.25” BP which was what i’ve sat at for years and it’s down to 6.5” pressing as hard as possible into my pubic bone.

Never in my sexually active life have i ever been this small. Talk about a kick in the nuts.

I just got a new girlfriend who is wicked attractive so i’m hoping now that i’m walking around with an erection 80% of the day And starting the newbie routine again that i can get close to the 7” mark fairly quickly. I wonder if my dick has muscle memory? Lol.

Has anybody ever lost size and then pe’d it back?

My depression and stress is virtually gone since i left my ex but I know I have low T. Not sure if I need that hormone raging or not to get gains.

But holy crap man this sucks.

Glad to hear you’ve bounced back. Keep us updated on your progress back to normal size and beyond.

Thanks man, i’ll try my best now that I have a gf again all I want to do is workout and pe. Hopefully the gains come back quick.

I’m not sure whether or not it will help with your gains, but speaking from personal experience, you should definitely address your low T. I suffered from it for at least a few years without realizing it, and finally got hormone tested after my nipples became tender for several months. My testosterone was extremely low, and the problem only gets worse over time, if you don’t deal with it. I got a prescription and started self-injecting testosterone-cypionate every other week a couple of years ago. Within a month, my nipples were back to normal, and though it took about six months upping dosage, once I was back in normal T range, I felt 10 years younger. My energy level was higher than it had been in years, and my sex drive and stamina felt like being 20 again. I did not personally suffer from low EQ when my testosterone was low, but I know it is one of the most common side effects, so that may account for some of your loss in size.

TLDR: I cannot recommend enough, to get your low T addressed. Has changed my life.

I’ve had my levels tested 3 times over the course of 2 years and each time i was under 300. But each time i took the test i was depressed, eating like crap, not exercising. The whole 9.

I just moved back to my home state last month and This past month i’ve had almost no anxiety or depression, i have lost over 5 lbs, i’m eating healthier, this week i started going to the gym to lift weights.

I’m taking some supplements too like zinc, d3, magnesium and d-aspartic acid along with this other test booster (doesn’t really boost t it just regulates cortisol).

I want to see what about 6 months worth of lifting, and supplements can do to active some kind of recovery rather than a replacement like test cyp.

My biggest concern to injections is the idea of my testies basically turning off and shrinking.

This should not be a issue unless you are taking enough to push your Testosterone levels beyond healthy maximums. I believe if you move beyond around 800, you’re in the danger zone. As far as I know though, you have to maintain that for some time before natural production will begin to shut down. This is how it was explained to me before I started treatment, by my doctors. To the best of my memory anyway. I had the same concerns.

Before you do injection max out your fitness and diet for 6 months. Get tested and i bet your over 600 on test. Fitness raise your hormone levels. Body fat is estrogenic, turning testosterone in the system into estrogen.

That’s what i am hoping so that is my plan

Hm I was diagnosed with low T and took Clomid for a couple of years as a first-course, liking the idea that it basically “tricks” the body into upping its own production “naturally.” But that wasn’t adequate, so I started with the every-two-week injections this past year.. My levels are up to optimal (last I checked), but my nips are sore all the time (which is supposedly due to over-conversion to estrogen, but there doesn’t seem to be a long-term fix for that, and my primary care doc isn’t knowledgeable enough to feel comfortable doing anything about it beyond suggesting I discontinue the exogenous testosterone causing the problem).. Also frustrated by the predictable uptick in body acne.

Was hoping it would restore my flatlined libido, but I feel no different there, so I’m thinking that must be a product of constant elevated stress and anxiety.

Has your doctor discussed taking anastrozole (arimidex) to reduce the conversion of T to estrogen? Sounds like you’d be a good candidate for it. I took it for a few years with my TRT.

Reference the last section of this article for more info:

That is not exactly right. Testicular athropy is indeed very common adverse effect of TRT.
Even if staying well inside physiological margins.

If this happens it can be reverted and kept in control with HCG injections. It is pretty much only treatment available to combat the sympton.

OP has taken very good way of trying to find the natural balance first. Getting rid of the excessive fat should be the main issue combatting low testosterone. The conversion of testosterone to estrogens is caused by the aromataze enzyms, which have high concentrations in body fat.
The leaner the male the healthier he will remain.

Oh and the main issue, it is common to lose penis size having low testosterone level for years. It does not happen quickly though.

I don’t think penis size has much to do with testosterone levels…at least after you’ve gone through puberty. I do testosterone cypionate injections weekly, HCG 3x/week, and anastrazole as well. I go through an online clinic out of florida, and only do it through them because I know a thing or two about medicine. Your primary care doc might be able to work with you, but frequently they’ll just give you a cream and not the HCG or anastrozole. Some docs feel those aren’t warranted, but it makes sense to me to use them. I keep my levels between 400-600 after being at 280 when I started. If you are definitely low, going on TRT will help you lose body fat more quickly and convert it to muscle mass…if you’re working out. I started at 6’3” 163 lbs 5 years ago when my wife left me. I was playing tennis doing weights before, but got a little more aggressive with weights after and really pushed my eating. Now I float at 6’3” 195 lbs at age 45. That’s not all due to the testosterone, but it can definitely help gain lean muscle mass with working out.

This is true. When I first looked into it, TRT looked liked a slamdunk. Because that’s how the clinics advertise it. I think it’s key to view testicular atrophy not just as a “byproduct” or unfortunate symptom of TRT, but as part-and-parcel with TRT.

That’s why using HCG can help prevent, or reduce that. That’s why just seeing your primary care physician for a cream or foam isn’t ideal. You’d rather see an endocrinologist, if you’re indeed low, and they can tailor your treatment better.
