Retractive (retreating) penis
A retractive (retreating respectively reducing in size) penis is permanently shorter when compared to its former length or has a significantly reduced volume (optically or anatomically shrunken). The elongation of the penis by means of a penis expandercounteracts a retraction process.
For example, the penis can be reduced in size on the basis of the following
- in old age due to decreasing erection frequency and hormonal adjustment ("senior penis")
- during phases of strong weight gain
- upon cancer-related removal of the prostate
- upon operative penis elongation or penis straightening by means of the operation method and/or scar healing processes
- in the case of retractive penis (retreating/shortening) penis
- after urological operations
- after prostate removal
- upon operative penis elongation or penis straightening
- at a greater age due to decreasing sexual activity and hormonal adjustment
- due to overweight
