Dealing with Male Organ Atrophy: Causes, Treatment, and Prevention Male organ atrophy, two words no man wants to hear together. Unfortunately, it happens. Not completely sure what male organ atrophy is? Also known as male organ shrinkage, it's the decrease in the length and/or girth of the member caused by extensive loss of male organ tissue. This condition can be temporary, or in more severe cases, the tissue loss may be permanent. In either case, there are several ways to either reverse it (in the case of temporary atrophy) or to compensate. Let's get up-to-date on what can cause male organ shrinkage, as well as the potential treatments and how to protect against it. Male Organ Atrophy Causes There are several different causes of male organ atrophy. Here are a few of the most common: 1. More Candles on the Birthday Cake. As a man ages, his member can be the victim of many small sports- or romance-related injuries that cause an accumulation of scar tissue. This can affect the spongy reproductive tissue, eventually leading to male organ shrinkage. 2. Putting on the lbs. Weight gain, specifically around the stomach, can make the member appear smaller. This occurs because the member is attached to the abdominal wall, and when the stomach expands, it pulls the member inward, making it appear smaller. 3. Peyronie’s Disease. This is where fibrous scar tissue develops within the member, causing it to become curved during tumescence. This can be very painful for men. Peyronie’s can cause a reduction in both the length and girth of a man’s member. 4. Medication. Some meds can cause male organ shrinkage. They include but are not limited to certain antipsychotics and antidepressants, as well as medications that are prescribed for treating an enlarged prostate. www.man1health.com
