A member asked:
Is it possible for hyperestrogenism to shrink your penis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No. However if you are a morbidly obese man, the conversion of Estrogens from your naturally produced androgens in the fat cells, may inhibit the release of gonadotropins from your pituitary gland (brain). This can lead long term to low testosterone levels and shrinkage of the testicles from hypogonadism (low male hormones).
