Why does Ozempic affect penis size?
In a conversation with Diabetes.co.uk, Dr. Richard Viney explained: “Men’s penises shorten as they get older due to increasing body fat and increasing prostate size drawing the penis back into the body.”
He also mentioned: “It is theoretically possible new drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which are used to treat diabetes and obesity respectively and can cause people to lose weight, could also be a factor. As men lose weight, their penises appear larger.”
Still, it’s worth noting that from a medical perspective, and even in day-to-day life, penis size isn’t actually something that matters much.
