PENILE ATROPHY !! PENILE ATROPHY !!! It is the reduction in the size of the penis that may be the result of disease or aging. One of the causes of penile atrophy is a drop in the testosterone level.This often occurs as part of systemic disease or in the course of treatment for a condition like Prostate cancer. People with conditions like Artherosclerosis are more likely to experience this because plaques in the arteries obstruct the flow of blood and the tissues in the penis start to shrink as a result. An endocrinologist can run a blood test to see if the testosterone levels are normal and determine if hormone therapy would be appropriate for the patient.
