Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Sounds like you've been through a lot, and hope I you can find some solutions in Australia (Dr.
Oates may still be practicing penis enlargement) because long-distance elective medicine given your background & experiences may not be optimal.
I suspect your size loss may be due to a multitude of factors, and hormonal factors certainly can play a role.
I
highly doubt you lost size because of some inherent expiration that
PMMA microspheres have in your shaft skin, because they don't expire (based on the literature, what many experts know, in addition to the abundance of information on this site dating back many years)! This stuff is permanent; that's why the
PMMA is used in the first place as a permanent
Girth enhancement option -- essentially a permanent biologically inert, synthetic polymer implant, at just the right size that your body cannot remove it, so instead walls it off with collagen, etc, which ultimately provides you with the (permanent)
Girth people experience after injections.
A brief search and here are some legitimate reasons (and possibly a combination of reasons) that can explain why you are experiencing what you're experiencing:
- Low levels of testosterone or other hormonal issues can lead to Atrophy of the penile tissue.
- Peyronie’s Disease:
- Conditions that affect blood flow, such as diabetes, hypertension, and atherosclerosis, can contribute to penile Atrophy.
- Diseases that affect the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries, can lead to shrinkage due to reduced nerve function.
- Excess body fat can make the penis appear smaller as the pubic fat pad enlarges, effectively "burying" part of the penile shaft.
- Smoking can lead to vascular damage and reduced blood flow to the penis, contributing to shrinkage over time.
- Excessive alcohol consumption and certain drugs can negatively affect penile tissue health and blood flow.
- Lack of physical activity can lead to poor cardiovascular health, affecting blood flow and contributing to shrinkage.
- Psychological stress can affect overall health and lead to issues with erectile function and perceived penile size.
- Certain Medications.
- As men age, changes in hormone levels, decreased blood flow, and other age-related factors can lead to penile shrinkage.
- Physical Injury & injuries to the penile area or surrounding structures can lead to shrinkage or Atrophy.
