Have you ever noticed that your manhood seems to shrink when it's cold? This temperature-related size fluctuation is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. A decrease in the size of the penis is referred to as "penis shrinkage". Some people may experience permanent shrinkage, while others may experience it as a result of a treatable illness or unhealthy lifestyle choices.
