A member asked:

Can the penis shrink and if so how? recently, i've seen a noticeable decrease in my erection size should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: You are young and still growing. Erection size depends on the degree of arousal and the most arousal will happen when you are with a sex partner with whom you have mutual trust and real attraction. That time will come, just relax and overthink about it.
