There is no arguing the fact that as men age , the
quality of sex they can deliver not only reduces ,
but ageing also affects the shape and general
health of the penis . .

Yes , penis health is a big deal when old age creeps
in because , then , everything becomes new , though
not in exactly pleasant way!

A urologist , Brian Steixner, who has worked on
men ’s down below for decades , provides insights

into the progress or, more appropriately ,
regression, of manhood as old age inevitably
creeps in .

• Drooping : Here , your hitherto round and robust
scrotum will droop , even when you still manage to
get and sustain erection! Don ’ t worry, though ; be
happy. It’s only due to the loss of muscle mass .

• Below -par sexual performance : This is clear
enough . But urologists have described it as the
heart attack of the penis . Good dietary habit,
regular exercise and low weight can help a bit .
But erectile dysfunction in old age is a part of long
life .

• Permanent shrinkage : Once shrinking sets in —
and there ’s nothing you can do — it ’s a continuous
trend . The reason is simple, Steixner says . As you
age , all your vibrant cells are gradually replaced
by non- elastic fibres called collagen, which cause
an overall diminished effect. The only way to help
yourself is to ensure low body weight , which will
give you penis length .

• Bending : Again , you’re helpless about this. Now ,
your years of sports and sexual activities are
taking a toll on your penis , what with the scar
tissues that have accumulated along the penis
length . Bad news still, as you enter your 60 s and
70 s , your penis may assume a shape that looks
like a question mark . Sorry . But that’ s ageing in
process!

• You need to screen for prostate cancer every two
years if the first test is negative . Talk to you
doctor about it .
