Penile Health After 50: What to Expect (To capture an older demographic)

Like the rest of your body, your manhood goes through biological changes, often caused by factors, such as:

• Reduced blood flow. High cholesterol causes arterial plaque to build up, reducing the normal blood flow in your body, including to your penis.
• Lower testosterone levels. Testosterone levels begin to decline at about one percent per year after age 40. While lower testosterone levels don’t cause penis shrinkage, the reduction of this important hormone lessens your body’s ability to generate strong erections.
• Enlarged prostate. An enlarged prostate is a common complaint of men over the age of 50. This gland, when enlarged, causes slow ejaculations, difficulty maintaining erections and reduced semen volume.

Fortunately, the talented doctors and surgeons at Penile Enhancement Center of New York, including founder Dr. David Shokrian and Dr. Mohamed Elfar, specialize in addressing the age-related changes your junk goes through. They can restore its proper sexual functioning and appearance with both surgical and non-surgical approaches.

Do the Length and Girth of My Penis Change with Age?

If you’ve looked in the mirror lately and seen changes in the size of your manhood, you know something’s happening. Aging causes subtle changes in both the length and girth of your dick. But these changes don’t need to be permanent. With our help, you can maintain — or even enhance — the penile size you once had. If you’ve experienced penile atrophy or you struggle with small penis syndrome, visit Penile Enhancement Center of New York, where our doctors specialize in restoring your natural volume through procedures that include:

• The best penis enlargement surgery
• Penile lengthening surgery
• Permanent penile enhancement through grafting
• Temporary, reversible penile fillers
• Permanent penile fillers for penis girth

Low testosterone levels in your system and atherosclerosis, a cardiovascular disease that causes your arteries to narrow over time, prevent blood from flowing freely to your penis. This age-related condition can lead to a change in penile length and girth. Significant weight gain also affects how your manhood looks. A large fat pad in your pubic are, for example, can make your penis look smaller, hidden or even buried.

Will I Still Be Able to Get Erections?

Let’s address the elephant in the room. When you were younger, you likely could get and maintain a firm erection at the slightest provocation. As you age, the first change you’re likely to notice is not being able to get that same kind of erection. This development is completely normal; after age 50, you may notice other changes in your erections, as well, such as:

• It takes you longer to get an erection.
• Your erections aren’t as firm as they used to be.
• Your erections are more difficult to maintain once you get them.

As you get older, spontaneous erections start happening less and less often. Fifteen percent of men older than 50 experience erectile dysfunction in some form. Not getting regular erections isn’t directly due to getting older, although it happens more often because your body is aging.

Older men tend to experience lower hormonal levels, a more restricted blood circulation or even an undiagnosed underlying health condition. If you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, your blood vessels don’t transmit enough blood to your penis for a successful erection. These are reasons you need regenerative medicine treatments from the experts at Penile Enhancement Center of New York.

Does the Shape of My Penis Change With Age?

Your penis can and does change with age. It’s more common than you may think. If you’ve injured your penis in the past, from a sports injury or rough sex, scar tissue forms. This may make your shaft bend or curve when you get an erection. This condition, otherwise known as Peyronie’s disease, causes:

• Your penis to curve gently to one side
• A slightly bent look when you get an erection
• A less symmetrical appearance
• Discomfort during intercourse

The good news is that when your condition is caught early, it’s usually correctable. Luckily, the penile implantation we offer at Penile Enhancement Center of New York is the gold standard. The Penuma® implant or a fat transfer are two surgical techniques to increase the girth of your junk. We can also correct the curve in your penis and other deformities caused by Peyronie’s disease.

Do I Stop Ejaculating Once I Turn 50?

Your body can continue to ejaculate after you turn 50, but you may experience weaker ejaculation. While it’s usually not a cause for concern, the constant changes taking place within you can take a toll on your sexual performance. It may be frustrating for you and your partner, especially if you’re still trying to conceive with a younger partner. Weak ejaculation often occurs due to:

• A hormonal imbalance, such as low testosterone levels
• A reduced semen volume that occurs with age
• Medical conditions, such as diabetes
• Previous bladder or prostate surgery

If you notice a change in the texture, color or the amount of your ejaculate, it’s a sign that your penile health has degraded. To counter these changes, you need to take appropriate measures. The regenerative treatments we offer at Penile Enhancement Center of New York can help your sexual performance, especially if you’re older than 50. These minimally invasive therapies promote new blood vessel growth and tissue regeneration, which addresses diminished ejaculation. Consider:

• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
• Shockwave therapy
• A combination of these therapies

Does the Appearance of My Penis Change as I Age?

As you get older, the skin on your penis, just like the skin on your face and body, experiences natural changes. The truth is that penile aging is completely normal and manageable with the appropriate regenerative medicine treatment. After the age of 50, you may start noticing:

• Thinner skin, making your penis prone to wrinkles and more sensitive to friction
• Dryer skin, causing mild irritation when you wear tight clothing
• A change in color, with your junk appearing darker or more reddish when erect

The skin of your manhood may feel thinner because, as you age, your body produces less collagen. This causes your skin to be less flexible. It can’t stretch like it used to, which affects its length and overall appearance. Also, you may notice more visible veins, giving your penis a more pronounced look.

What Can I Do to Improve My Penile Skin Health?

Staying active, maintaining good hygiene, especially of your junk, and following a healthy lifestyle can maintain the quality of your penile skin. At Penile Enhancement Center of New York, we recommend:

• Regular exercise. Physical activity has proven an effective and protective factor when dealing with erectile dysfunction. Try exercising at least three times a week. Even a walk or a slow run can improve your penile health.
• Regenerative treatments. Besides the non-surgical approach of using fillers to improve the penile appearance, our doctors offer regenerative therapies to restore the health of your penile skin. These therapies boost collagen production and promote blood vessel growth.
• Maintain a healthy weight. Reduced blood flow is a main reason for the sudden change in the appearance of your unit. So maintain a healthy weight which can lead to improved circulation and a more youthful-looking penis.

If you notice changes in the appearance of your manhood or a decline in your sexual performance, we recommend that you contact Penile Enhancement Center of New York. Book a discreet online or in-person consultation or one of their three locations in New York City.
