A man in the United States admits his penis length has decreased after being infected Covid-19. He mentions penis shrink after Covid to 1.5 inches or 3.81 cm.
“My penis has shrunk. I’m a heterosexual man in his 30s,” the man said on condition of anonymity on the How to Do It podcast. New York Post.
The man said he contracted Covid-19 in July last year. At that time, he was experiencing symptoms of erectile dysfunction.
“[Disfungsi ereksi] gradually getting better with some medical treatment, but I seem to have a lingering problem. Before I get sick [penis saya] above average. Not big, but definitely bigger than usual. Now I’ve lost about 1.5 inches and it’s less than average,” the man said.
The man said that according to the doctor who treated him this penis problem appeared due to vascular damage caused by Covid-19. This damage is called permanent.
Is it true that the penis shrinks after Covid?
A number of experts see the possibility that it can happen.
Urologist Charles Welliver says that Covid-19 can affect a man’s penis, although this condition is very rare.
“Covid [menyebabkan] many respiratory symptoms leading to many deaths. But there are also quite significant vascular problems that occur in men,” Welliver said.
A study shows some men experience priapism or continuous erection and erectile dysfunction after being infected with Covid-19.
“When men experience erectile dysfunction they experience a temporary lack of erection, and when that happens they actually experience shrinkage,” says Welliver.
Quoted from Euro News, a small study shows that Covid-19 can reduce the blood supply to the genitals, resulting in difficulty getting an erection.
However, more research is needed to prove the relationship between Covid-19 and the penis.
