| Question: | I am 58 and I have had a constant embarrassment because of an underdeveloped penis and testicles. As a result, I have never married or indulged in sexual intercourse. Do you know of anyone who can help me? |
| Answer: | Small testicles and penis may function just as well as large ones, and may be merely a developmental problem, in the same way that some people are tall and others are short.
At your age, hormonal treatments are not likely to be successful, but you should be examined by a general practitioner to ensure that your testicles are not developing any sort of tumour, and that the hormonal balance in your body is correct.
When seeing your GP, I would suggest that you ask for a referral to a psychiatrist. This is not because I think you are mad or crazy in any way, but a psychiatrist may be able to help improve your self-esteem, and cope with a problem that has obviously preyed on your mind for several decades.
Provided your GP' s check up shows no problems, there is no reason why you should not enjoy normal sexual relations, because you are certainly not too old for rkat. There are many lonely, older women who would love to have a caring partner.
As a last resort, and one I would not recommend without psychiatric counselling, you could see a plastic surgeon to have penile and testicular implants inserted. This is a radical procedure, and not without its problems.
