'Ozempic penis' explained as study shows average penis size increasing by substantial amount
The average UK penis size increased between 2022 and 2024
As the average penis size in the UK continues to rise, experts have suggested that Ozempic could be contributing to the growth.
Between 2022 and 2024, the average size of a British penis has increased by 0.46 inches, from 5.17 inches to 5.63.
But why, you may ask?
A new study has revealed that the UK currently ranks eighth in the world for the biggest penis growth in the space of two years.

And alongside how the UK ranks in other categories - such as wellbeing where they're ranked the second-most miserable country in the world - I'd say penis size is the least of their worries.
Anyway, the data suggests that it was Venezuelans that came out on top and saw the biggest growth to their penises over the two year period - increasing by 1.42 inches and reaching 6.67 inches.
Which only begs the questions - what has Venezuela been feeding its men since 2022? Gobsmacking.
Meanwhile, Italian men saw the biggest decrease in penis size, with the average manhood coming in at under five inches.
But experts have suggested that type two diabetes drug Ozempic, which some people have also been using for weight-loss, could be contributing to the rising penis size in some parts of the world.
Why does Ozempic affect penis size?
Speaking to Diabetes.co.uk, Dr Richard Viney said: "Men’s penises shorten as they get older (due to) increasing body fat and increasing prostate size drawing the penis back into the body.
"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."
However, it's important to remember that medically, and generally, penis size doesn't matter.
Pharmacist Navin Khosla said: “While the data is interesting, penis size doesn’t matter in a medical sense."
The expert added another important reminder: "Just like how some people prefer different fashion styles, eye colours, or characteristics in a partner, some people are more attracted to larger penises or breasts, while others prefer smaller ones."
However, it should be noted that the data collected to determine penis size growth was done with results from a number of studies, where some were self-reported.
A 2013 study states that only a third of men are happy with the size of their parts, but what science and experience has shown people is that size is not what ultimately matters.
