Is penis atrophy real and does your penis shrink with age?

Yes, penis shrinkage is real and very common after a prostatectomy! It happened to me!

Same for me. Penile atrophy post prostatectomy is common. Fortunately it's reversible with regular and diligent VED therapy if you get onto it fairly quickly. I'm glad I didn't waste time getting started when it became obvious I'd lost length and girth. Over time I restored what was lost as have many others. Then if ED caused by the prostatectomy doesn't quickly resolve naturally, and pills, injections or other treatments don't work, I recommend going for an implant as soon as possible. It's literally life changing.

ASAP for getting the implant. Life changing is an understatement.

For those with an implant, do you think using and/or cycling will prevent age-related shrinkage ?

So far (10 months post-op) I would say yes. My size in my 20s was right at 9” or a hair more. By the time I had my implant surgery at 58, my size was down to about 8.5”. Right after surgery it was 8”, back up to 8.5” a few weeks later.

Last week my girlfriend commented that I felt bigger lately. I re-measured and lo and behold, I’m now 8.75”. Will I ever get back to 9”? Don’t know, don’t care. But things do seem to have stretched out more toward my original size since surgery.

Also immediately post-op girth was 6”, then 6.5” a few weeks later. Now 6.7”, and it feels very close to my original dimensions.
