Obesity,penis develpment and hormonal imbalnce.

---

Hi i'm a 18 year old obese guy and started to try to reduce weight about 4 weeks ago.Well as a result of my obesity lot of my testestorone is getting converted to estrogen.As a result of which my face looks realy childish and immature(even a lil feminine) and i have no moustache,chest hair,and on the whole dont look manly or like an 18 year old.I rather look like a 12-13 yearold(except for my body size).I do have beard,pubic hair(the highest level i think) and sex drive and my voice has sorta changed only about a year ago.Also i have breasts(non tissue one) due to my obesity. On the whole i look very weird. I want to know if once i get rid of my obesity and the conversion of my testestorone becomes normal if the testestorone would kick in immediately and i would look mature and my age immediately and look like others my age or will it take time and i'd'lag' behind.

I also got the same question for my penis.Right now(taking into account penis buried in my pubic fat) my penis length is small,as also its girth.Or on account of being obese during puberty will its development be hampered and it wouldnt attain the size it normaly would have.Also i would like to know if there is any medicine i can take to reduce/block this testestorone to estrogen conversion due to obesity.Also all my hormone levels(growth,testesorone(the one before the conversion occurs)) are normal.Also i think its fucked up that theres almost no information on effect of obesity on the puberty of boys in the net ,while its loaded with info on the conversion due to obesity in middle aged men and early puberty due to obesity for girls.

Another thing i want to ask about is my penis whose foreskin i'm not able to retract.I thought i had phimosis but the urologist i met said i'm not able to do so because of my obesity and the penis being buried in my pubic fat.Is it true?

Thanks.

If you loose weight you might be at the surprise you go through, because everybody's body acts differently.
It is also possible that you're going through puberty late (especially seeing as your voice only dropped about a year ago) so your penis could very well grow in size soon.

Also, nobody can fully retract their forksin on the first try. Just do it slowly over time and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

In reply to:It is also possible that you're going through puberty late In reply to: Is this something a doctor told you was happening? or was it something you read about and decided you had? alot of people do that. My testrstorone levels are that of an adult and so i dont think i'm having a late puberty.(i started having pubic hair when i wuz 14 and started having sexual feelings as early as 12-13).Because of my normal testestorone levels the endocrinologist said this is beccause of the conversion.Is any particular hormonal medicine advisable to me cuz this is realy depressing me.Right now i'm taking a vitamin pill which contains zinc.The doc said it wouldnt have much effect.He wasnt too keen in giving in anything more potent. In reply to:That sounds like stupidity, unless he actually examined you and found it to be true in your case He did examine my penis and tried retracting it which he said he wuz able to do(i couldnt see because i wuz laying down and my penis is small).It pained when he did so. In reply to:The penis can appear smaller because of your size but fact is it's bigger than it appears, and when you loose more weight you'll begin to see more of it My penis is small taking into account the pubic fat.I figure this is because of the testestrone to estrogen conversion?

wtf????My penis has always been small,not over the last 4 weeks.

The hormone trouble is not one that i've been having recently.The testestorone to estrogen conversion happens in most obese people espescialy thos with a lot of abdominal fat.I think my first post is pretty clear.Anywayz thank you all for your replies.It'd be nice if someone who has had the same experience or someone who knows about hormones and stuff could help.Thanks.

I wasn't aware of the conversion, but I find it summarised here, with a possible treatment. It seems that if you can get the weight down it will help improve your testosterone levels.

I don't know if that will create more penis growth, but it would free up a lot of your shaft that is at present buried in the pubic fat pad, so it would have the effect of making it bigger.
