Have you noticed changes in the size of your penis as you’ve gotten older? Penile shortening is a natural concern for many men, and while it can feel discouraging, it’s often a normal part of aging. However, penile shortening doesn’t have to be permanent.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we understand how much penile size can affect your confidence, function, and overall quality of life. That’s why we offer advanced, non-surgical solutions like P-Long, a clinically proven protocol to restore length, girth, and erectile strength. In this article, we explore why penile shortening happens and how P-Long can help reverse it.
What is the average penis size?
Before discussing shrinkage, it is helpful to know what research reveals about typical ranges. Everyone is unique, but studies published in BJU International found the following averages:
- Average length of a flaccid penis: about 3.6 inches
- Average length of a flaccid, stretched penis: about 5.3 inches
- Average length of an erect penis: about 5.2 inches
- Average circumference of a flaccid penis: about 3.7 inches
- Average circumference of an erect penis: about 4.6 inches
Falling outside these ranges isn’t always a concern. However, noticeable changes over time may be a sign of underlying issues that deserve attention.
Can age contribute to penile shortening?
Yes, age is one of the most common contributors to penile shortening. As you get older, blood flow to the penis decreases due to atherosclerosis (fatty deposits in arteries). This limits the amount of oxygen-rich blood that reaches the erectile tissue, resulting in weaker expansion during erections, which can lead to the appearance of a shorter penis.
Additionally, spontaneous erections, especially at night, become less frequent with age. These erections play an important role in maintaining elasticity within the erectile fibers. Without them, the tissue loses its natural stretch, reducing length and firmness over time.
Other factors that may contribute to penile shortening
- Obesity, which creates a fat pad that obscures part of the shaft
- Smoking, which damages blood vessels and decreases elasticity
- Hypertension, which reduces circulation to the erectile tissue
- Diabetes, which impairs both blood vessels and nerves
- Peyronie’s disease, where scar tissue shortens and curves the penis
- Prostate surgery, which can affect erectile function and elasticity
How P-Long may reverse penile shortening
P-Long is the first clinically proven, non-surgical protocol designed to increase penile length and girth while improving erectile function. In clinical studies, men gained an average of 0.8 inches in erect length and 0.5 inches in girth over six months. This safe, drug-free solution combines regenerative medicine with advanced technologies to deliver measurable, lasting results.
The P-Long protocol essentially consists of four treatments that work synergistically to improve penis size and girth. Now let’s look at the therapies within the P-Long protocol and how they restore natural penile size and function.
PRP injections stimulate tissue repair
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is created from your own blood and concentrated to isolate powerful growth factors. When injected into the penile tissue, PRP stimulates new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), encourages cellular repair, and boosts sensitivity. This rejuvenates erectile tissue, enhances elasticity, and supports the natural restoration of size.
Traction therapy promotes elongation
Penile traction therapy utilizes the RestoreX device, which applies controlled stretching during short daily sessions. This stimulates collagen remodeling and cellular elongation, resulting in a gradual and permanent lengthening of the penis. Traction also improves blood circulation and reduces fibrotic tissue, helping the penis regain lost structure.
Vacuum therapy enhances circulation
A vacuum erectile device (VED) uses negative pressure to draw blood into the penis, increasing vascular capacity and elasticity. Repeated engorgement with the VED encourages overall tissue expansion, strengthens erectile chambers, and complements PRP’s regenerative effects. Over time, this helps restore both firmness and visible size.
Nitric oxide supplements boost erectile strength
Nitric oxide is essential for strong erections. P-Long includes a pharmaceutical-grade supplement that increases natural nitric oxide production in the endothelium. By improving blood flow, it amplifies the benefits of both traction therapy and vacuum therapy, ensuring the tissue remains nourished and capable of natural growth.
Additional tips to prevent penile shortening:
- Quit smoking to restore circulation and improve erectile health
- Maintain a healthy weight to avoid the appearance of a buried penis
- Control chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension
- Stay sexually active to preserve tissue elasticity
- Exercise regularly to support blood flow and vascular health
- Eat nutrient-rich foods and stay hydrated to maintain vascular function
- Limit alcohol intake to reduce erectile dysfunction risks
