Why does my penis become thin near the root and thick ahead?
The penis is composed of muscles, blood vessels, smooth muscles, connective and scar tissue, and skin. Its form will be determined by how well blood circulates within it and how robust the tissues are. If the penis looks thick in the head (glans) and thin in the root (base), it might be for the following reasons:
Hastmaithun (Excessive Masturbation)
Too much masturbation can also lead to a temporary change in penile appearance. Masturbation so much that it becomes a daily habit could lead to blood vessels that do not work as easily over time. Some men report:
Tissue support is less, giving a narrower base
Bending or slight curvature
Swelling of the head from frictionistringstream 1.
Example:
A 22-year-old university undergraduate stated that his penis had the base becoming lanky, but his penis tip became thicker after 3–4 masturbation daily over years. Upon medical inspection the doctor asserted that this was caused by tissue fatigue and inadequate blood flow.
Medical evidence doesn’t actually support that only masturbation will cause permanent thinning, but excessiveness combined with an unhealthy lifestyle does not help this essential health issue of the penis.
Infection or Disease
Infections, such as STDs, balanitis or prostatitis can harm the tissue in the penis. The base can suffer the often-thinning consequences of infection that the penile cells of the penis endure.
Bacterial infection: Face is swelling and is biggest at the head and smallest at the root.
Herpes or viral infection: Also cause tissue damage and irregular thickness.
Infection by a fungus: If there is chronic fungal infection on the glans, some parts of the penis may become smaller
Case Study:
And from India, there was a medical report of a man who contracted untreated gonorrhea with associated damage to penile tissue. Upon completion of treatment, he gained a little more base girth and the girth gains were pretty permanent.
Medicine or Cream Application
But today, many men visit shops without qualified practitioners and purchase penis enlargement creams, oils and drugs. Applying these can cause:
Chemical burns
Tissue thinning at the base
Erectile dysfunction
and penile skin cancer in some instances
Wonder says 32 percent of men who used uncontrolled penis creams were found to have suffered long-term side effects such as skin thinning and infections, reports the Indian Journal of Dermatology.
Lifestyle and Blood Flow Issues
The penis is all blood flow. The base could appear slimmer, especially if your circulation isn’t great. Causes include:
Obesity with sucking of penis into what is usually a big fat pad at base (magnifying the base length and making shaft appear slight).
Diabetes and hypertension, both of which impair healthy blood flow
Cigarette smoking and alcohol, which harm blood vessels
Erections and tissue health, impacted by stress and anxiety
What if the tip is thick and the base is thin?
If you observe this issue, don’t worry. It is often reversible with lifestyle changes and medical treatment.
Steps to follow:
- Stop excessive masturbation
- Avoid using any random creams or oils
- Consult a urologist or sexologist
- Practice daily exercises such as Kegels for your penis.
- Keep clean and wash your penis daily
- Have sex using condoms to avoid infections.
- Avoid forceful sex or masturbation
Real-life example:
One patient in Bangladesh began eating healthy foods and exercising and stopped using harmful creams. The base girth of penis increased significantly within 6 months.
What to do if only the penis base is thin?
If Only the Base Is Slim Pingtower says that when it’s just the base that is thin, it’s a failure of good muscle support around the base, circulation failure or scar tissue from previous infections.
What you can do:
Kegel Exercises – Help strengthen the muscles that support the penis
Good food – consume food rich in zinc foods like eggs, fish, pumpkin seeds
Prevent Pornography addiction – Diminishes over stimulation and tissue fatigue
See a Doctor – If the base thinning is abrupt, could be Peyronie’s + infection
