Your penis may shrink after this surgery, but will it return to the same size?

Penis shrinkage is commonly observed after prostate surgery. However, experts say this may be temporary.

After prostate removal for cancer, men sometimes complain to their doctors that their penis shrank, but a new study from Japan suggests they should not lose hope.

Following men for up to two years after surgery, researchers found the patients' penises were shortest a few days after their procedures. Penis lengths generally returned to normal after one year, however.
