I had radiation of prostate without hormone therapy and still lost about half my penis and testicle size.

This side effect was never discussed or shown to me prior to radiation treatment.

I can see the warning on the hormone's package insert: "Caution, use may shorten penis". I guess more men will be dying of treatable prostrate cancer now that this study is out.

Haven't you heard? Now they give cialis after the treatment so you can keep it up longer then four hours and still need to look down and you might need a microscope to see something.

Not only was my penis shortened by the radiation, my testosterone level dropped by more than 50%. (275) This level is normal for men over 90 yrs old. I'm in my early 50's and the drop in testosterone has lowered my drive, energy and ambition. I feel it's greatly increasing the aging process.
