The buzz around “Ozempic penis” has raised plenty of eyebrows, but doctors say the truth is simpler. A recent study showed the average British penis size increased slightly between 2022 and 2024, sparking wild online claims linking the change to Ozempic use.
Ozempic is a diabetes drug that helps manage blood sugar but has become popular for weight loss. Some men say their penis looks bigger while using it. But experts stress it’s not the drug itself. “I am not aware of any data that these medications cause an increase in penis size,” explained Dr. Jen Caudle.
Instead, doctors say the illusion comes from weight loss. As body fat shrinks around the pubic area, the penis can appear larger. Urologist Dr. Richard Viney agreed, noting weight and prostate changes often make the penis look smaller with age. Losing weight can reverse that effect.
Novo Nordisk, Ozempic’s manufacturer, says the drug should only be used under medical supervision. The takeaway? It’s not magic — it’s science, health, and a little visual trickery. Do you think weight loss myths sometimes overshadow the real medical facts?
