It has been argued that 'Ozempic', famous as a weight loss treatment, may not only reduce waist circumference but also increase male genitals.

In a recent post on social media 'Reddit', men who took Ozempic drew attention by claiming that their genitals had grown.

One user commented "I recently measured it myself and it's about 2.5cm longer." he said.




According to foreign media such as the New York Post, there is a lack of research to prove a direct link between semaglutide and male genital size, but some experts have raised the possibility that the ogempic may have affected it.

According to the British Diabetes Community, the average genital size of British men increased by about 10% from about 13.1 cm to about 14.3 cm from 2022 to 2024.

Experts explained that weight loss can affect genital size.




Dr. Richard Bainey, a urologist at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, explained that weight-loss medications such as Olympique are likely to affect male genital size. "Men's genitals tend to get shorter as they age because of increased body fat and enlarged prostate. Weight loss drugs such as Ozempic and Hugo Bee can reduce weight and make your genitals look bigger."

An increase in male genital size has been continuously observed in recent years.

According to a study published in 2023 'World Journal of Men's Health', the average male genital size has increased by 24% over the past 30 years.




Experts are raising concerns about these changes.

Stanford Medical School researcher Dr. Michael Eisenberg said, `The reproductive organs are one of the most important factors in human biology. If such a rapid change occurs, it means that something that has a strong effect on our body exists.'

He added "It is possible that weight loss drugs may be the cause, but the increase in male genital size has been around since before the advent of the Ozempic."

Dr. Eisenberg then estimated that "There is a possibility that chemicals contained in pesticides or sanitary products may disrupt the endocrine system, causing hormonal changes and increased genital size." Future research is expected to reveal whether the Olympics is the cause of the actual increase in male genital size or whether other environmental factors have affected it.
