Brief Answer:
Have you had erections or any sexual activity?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this stroke. However, am happy because you seem to be doing okay but for this problem you have reported with your penis.

I will like to know if you have had any sexual arousal. The penis generally retracts when we are stressed. After experiencing stroke, this would be the state and we would expect it to regain its normal dimensions as you gradually get over what you experienced. 6 weeks is too short to justify a pathological cause for a decreased size of penis. If you happen to get erections, please report the dimensions to me.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
Fear may be the reason why!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Maybe fear is the reason why you are not having erections. Let's monitor again. Stroke is not a cause of erectile dysfunction. How was your sexual activity before the stroke attack?

I hope to hear from you.
