Hello- Penile shrinkage occurs because of two main causes: 1. By the buildup of plaque, known as fat, that prevents the flow of blood 2. By the buildup of inelastic scar tissue that prevents arteries from increasing in size inside the fibrous sheath of the erectile chambers. So how does penis shrinkage occur because of over masturbation? Excessive and abusive masturbation damages the various subcutaneous tissues of penis, causing both a buildup of plaque and an increase in scar tissue, two issues seen in a similar condition known as Peyronie?s Disease.
