Disappearing now little guy

Yank & pull daily. Best when showering instead of the mall or a restaurant.

Not much good news for this. If you're on ADT for life, there may not be much reason to fight it. Yes, I find it disturbing too.

I'll have what he's having.

Walking, biking or other regular activity will increase your circulation - everywhere. Drinking more water or fluids every day than you think you can handle can make a difference. Small dose of daily Cialis or similar can also help.

It seems that walking + water helps a lot of different things. I’ve seen others post the same and I agree 100% that it makes a difference.

The idea that the male urinary system is suspended from the top and everything dangles from the bladder is wrong. The bladder is supported by the prostate which sits in the bottom of the abdominal cavity. When you take out the prostate the bladder slumps down to take up the available space and the position of the distal urethra is changed very little. That is to say, those two inches that were removed are made up by the bladder slumping down rather than the urethra being pulled up.
Most of the loss of size that men experience after prostatectomy come from atrophy of the erectile tissues, usually caused by problems with the erectile nerves. With normal nerve function, even men who are not sexually active will usually get several erections a night while they sleep. This helps keep the tissues oxygenated and stretched out.
Vacuum erection devices help somewhat. They pull in a bit more blood which helps although some of it is venous blood that doesn't contain as much oxygen. They also help stretch the tissues but only for that half of your penis that sticks out of the body. VEDs don't do much for the penile bulb and the posterior half of the corpus cavernosa. Trimix injections cause a more natural erection with proper arterial blood flow and involve the whole thing. But you have to stick needles in your Johnson (which is easier to do than you think.)
I have an inflatable penile implant. That is your last line of defense. It mostly solves the problem of ongoing shrinking but it doesn't completely reverse past shrinkage. If you've let yourself shrivel up to the size of a Vienna sausage you doctor will have to use a tiny little implant. So even if a man eventually winds up getting an implant his previous efforts with pills, and pumps, and pokes are not wasted effort.

yep, welcome back to pre puberty.

More " comfortable "

I appreciate all the jokes and sayings, but for me it has been depressing as a man to have to sit down and pee or dribble all over myself and I almost can't find my little guy. looking in a mirror it looks like a inner belly button.

PDA,
In my case, I was significantly shorter right after I woke up from surgery and my penis felt leathery for months after surgery. By 6 months, I was shorter for 2+ inches with also significant girth decrease. Looked like I was 10 or 11.
Bladder did crap to compensate for the loss of prostatic urethra.
With implant, I recovered 1 inch.

Three serious suggestions, Steve:

(1) Penis pump. It's a goofy device, but it helps. Several companies make them. They run about $300, if memory serves me right.

(2) Cialis or Viagra. For me, Cialis is miraculous and Viagra does nothing, but for some guys it's opposite. Try both and see what works best for you. Cialis is longer-lasting. Generics make them affordable, even if insurance won't cover them.

With both the pump and the pills, you're looking to engorge the penis with blood in order to stretch out the tissues and have a residual effect of getting your turtle to stick his neck out a bit for other uses than sex.

(3) Talk with a urologist about it.

Hoping you get some positive results. The psychological effects are real and should be addressed.
