Prostate treatment may shorten penis - Breaking News:
"Men who receive combination treatment with hormone therapy plus radiation for local or locally advanced prostate cancer may experience a significant reduction in penile length, according to a report in the January issue of the Journal of Urology.

Just before treatment began, the average stretched penile length was 5.6 inches. Eighteen months later, the average penile length had shortened significantly to 3.4 inches.

Roughly 23 per cent of men had normal erectile function before therapy. Eighteen months later, 12.5 per cent were able to have an erection that was suitable for intercourse."
