The idea of “Ozempic penis” has been making waves recently, with many claiming that the diabetes drug Ozempic can actually make the penis bigger. However, a recent study found that the average penis size in Britain has increased by nearly half an inch from 2022 to 2024. But what is really behind this?
Doctors explain that Ozempic and similar medications, which help control blood sugar and promote weight loss, do not directly increase penis size. Instead, as men lose weight, the fat pad around the pubic area shrinks, making more of the penis visible, which creates the illusion that it’s bigger.
Dr. Jen Caudle, a family doctor, said that weight loss can make a penis look larger because the fat surrounding it decreases. Other doctors agree, pointing out that as men age and gain weight, the penis can appear shorter due to fat and prostate changes, and losing weight reverses that.
The drug’s manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, stresses that Ozempic should only be used under medical supervision and for its approved uses, with safety being their top priority.
