While Ozempic has become known for helping users shed unwanted kilos, some men are claiming the drug is making their penises appear larger.
Several male users of the popular weight-loss and diabetes drug have taken to Reddit to report unexpected changes in their anatomy.
'I recently measured myself down there and noticed I gained about one inch,' one Reddit user wrote on an Ozempic-focused thread.
'Now, people might say it's just from fat loss, but when I measured four years ago, I was actually thinner.'
'I also bone-pressed during measurement before and also this time,' he adds.

He concludes by asking if anyone else noticed this change in themselves.
This got many men talking, with some claiming that they have experienced the same thing.
'Yes. I gained 1.5 inches in length,' another user replied. 'No joke. Like you, I know what I was working with before I gained a lot of weight. After about seven months on Tirzepatide in my case, I gained 1.5 inches. Definitely not all just from fat loss.'
Others echoed the experience with one man saying, 'Yep, I noticed that happen to me as well.'
Another added, 'I believe this is true, even my wife has noticed the change down there in me. It definitely has that side effect.'
However, not everyone is convinced that Ozempic is directly causing actual penile growth.
Many users, who pointed to a more anatomical explanation, say that weight loss around the pubic area can make the penis appear longer, even if its true size hasn't changed.
'It's the weight loss around the pubic area. It just looks bigger (which doesn't suck) and probablt works better,' one commenter explained.
Another chimed in with a straightforward take: 'FUPA is a thing. Fat Upper Pubic Area. When you lose weight, the shaft of the penis protrudes more. It's just anatomy!'
Supporting the trend, a report from Diabetes.co.uk noted that the average British penis size has increased by 0.46 inches (11,684 mm) between 2022 and 2024.
While attributing this to Ozempic and similar drugs may be a stretch, it's a theory gaining traction in some circles.
Dr. Richard Viney, a consultant urological surgeon at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, offered some context.
'Men's penises shorten as they get older due to increasing body fat and prostate size, which draw the penis inward. It's theoretically possible that new drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which promote weight loss, could make the penis appear larger as fat is reduced.'
So, while Ozempic might not be a miracle growth drug, for some men, shedding kilos seems to come with unexpected, and clearly most welcome, visual enhancements.

Lizzo opens up about body positivity, weight loss and the stigma surrounding medication
Breaking the stigma: Lizzo discusses weight loss, Ozempic, and body positivity. Image: Instagram / lizzobeeating Let's face it, conversations about weight loss are rarely simple. They're wrapped in layers of judgement, societal expectations, and let's not forget, shame. In a world where appearance often feels like currency, being open about weight loss, especially as a celebrity, is no small feat. The Grammy-winning artist and outspoken advocate for body positivity has always done things her way, unapologetically. But when she recently opened up about trying Ozempic, a medication often used for weight loss, her honesty sparked a bigger conversation, one about self-care, stigma and the many paths we take toward health. After months of public speculation and online trolling about her weight loss, Lizzo finally addressed the chatter head-on and revealed that yes, she did try Ozempic at the start of her journey. During a recent appearance on Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast, Lizzo revealed that she had tried Ozempic early in her weight loss journey in 2023 but quickly realised it wasn't for her in the long term. 'I tried everything,' she explained. 'Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' Fake food While Ozempic didn't turn out to be the solution for Lizzo, she credited a major shift in her diet as the true catalyst for her transformation. For years, Lizzo followed a plant-based diet, consuming vegan foods exclusively from 2020 to 2023. However, she quickly realised that not all vegan options are created equal. 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, bread and rice,' Lizzo said. 'I had to eat a lot of it to stay full, but I was consuming 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.' The turning point came when she transitioned to eating whole, natural foods like chicken, fish and beef. This change not only left her feeling fuller for longer but also helped her avoid the hidden calories and 'fake sugars' often found in processed vegan products. 'Some foods, even if they're small, are packed with fake sugar that leaves you still feeling hungry,' she explained. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad Loading Lizzo opens up about her weight loss journey and the truth behind Ozempic. Image: Instagram 'When I started eating real foods, it was different. I wasn't expanding my stomach with things that weren't actually filling me up.' Body shaming Addressing the stigma around weight loss medications, one of the most powerful moments in the podcast came when Lizzo addressed the judgement that often comes with taking weight loss medication: 'It's not easy. It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with,' she explained. 'I think people ... it's their way of being fatphobic when you're telling someone they're cheating.' That hits hard. For many people, especially women living in larger bodies, the pressure to justify every step of their health journey is intense. Whether you're gaining or losing, you're judged. Whether you go natural or get help, you're judged. And that judgement often has nothing to do with health and everything to do with deep-rooted societal biases. Lizzo has always been vocal about her commitment to body positivity, even as she worked toward her weight loss goals. Reflecting on her journey, she admitted, 'I feel like I worked really, really hard, and it was intentional with what I did with my body.' When she receives compliments on her transformation, she doesn't shy away from them. Harmful narratives 'I really receive it because I need to receive that,' she said. 'I don't take it in any weird way because I tried to do this.' The shame and judgement surrounding weight loss choices, especially for women, needs to stop. These harmful narratives only reinforce unrealistic expectations and discourage people from seeking the help they need. The Grammy-winning artist and outspoken advocate for body positivity has always done things her way, unapologetically Image: Instagram As Lizzo herself said, "It's about helping yourself with something you're struggling with.' And that's nothing to feel guilty about. Her experience reminds us to be honest with ourselves, whether it's about diet, exercise routine or what's not working, honesty is the first step toward meaningful change. Try what works for you: From medication to lifestyle shifts, your journey doesn't need to look like anyone else's. Ditch the shame and let go of the fear of judgement.

Period poverty: The hidden cost of being a woman in South Africa
Seven million girls cannot afford or access sanitary pads. Image: Pexels A school girl raises her hand not to answer a question, but to ask for permission to go home early, again. It's not illness or laziness that keeps her away from class every month. It's her period. This girl has no name, and she doesn't have an age, because this is a reality that faces 7 million girls and women in the country. Across South Africa, period poverty —often overlooked but rarely discussed—is silently derailing futures. Period poverty is defined as the inability to afford and access menstrual products, as well as the necessary sanitation and hygiene facilities, alongside education and awareness to manage menstrual health effectively. According to statistics from UN Women, approximately 7 million girls in South Africa cannot afford basic menstrual products. Alarmingly, around 30% of schoolgirls regularly miss school due to their periods, resulting in a staggering loss of 50 days of education each year. To put this into perspective, that equates to ten weeks of school missed, which can significantly impact their learning and future opportunities. The Price of Being Female In 2019, South Africa eliminated the VAT on menstrual products. While this change means that these products are no longer taxed, they still remain unaffordable for many. Let's take a closer look at the numbers. The price of sanitary pads ranges from R20 to R50, while tampons are even more expensive, with prices reaching up to R70. These costs compete directly with a family's limited budget for essentials such as bread, electricity, and bus fare. For those living on R350 per month, affording menstrual products becomes increasingly difficult. While reusable solutions are available, they often remain out of reach or even misunderstood in under-resourced communities. As a result, many girls and women resort to using makeshift alternatives such as socks, newspaper, and mattress foam, which can increase the risk of infection. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad Loading Financial constraints and lack of accessibility are significant challenges, but stigma also plays a critical role in their daily struggle. Even in schools where pads are accessible, feelings of shame and stigma persist. Menstruation continues to be a taboo subject in many households and communities, particularly in rural and conservative areas. Girls face teasing for stains, are shunned for 'smelling,' and some are even told they are 'ready for marriage' as a result of their natural biological processes. For thousands living in informal settlements or experiencing displacement due to flooding, fire, or unrest, menstruation is an even greater burden. With no running water, no safe place to change, and no access to disposal bins, managing a period becomes near impossible. The average woman menstruates for over 3,000 days in her lifetime. That's more than 8 years. For too many in South Africa, those 8 years are filled with shame, discomfort, missed opportunity, and silence. And while companies and governments are looking at ways to tackle the issue, the question remains: How many more girls must bleed in shame before we treat periods as a public priority, not a private inconvenience? Call to Action: Donate: Support local orgs tackling period poverty Educate: Talk about periods. Break the stigma. Advocate: Push for pad distribution in all public schools and workplaces IOL NEWS

South Africa secures chicken imports from the US amid bird flu crisis
As bird flu cases rise in the US, South Africa's desperate need for chicken imports leads to a crucial agreement with the US government Image: Pexels/IOL Even though there have been 70 cases of bird flu – Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza – reported in the United States, South Africa has approved a special, year-long arrangement with that country to bring in chicken. This comes as all poultry products have been banned from entering several countries, including South Africa, due to a bird flu outbreak there. On May 15, 2025, Brazil confirmed its first-ever case of bird flu, which results in South Africa losing up to 100 million animal protein meals for every week the ban continues. Merlog Foods, a chicken importer, has welcomed the agreement with the US, said GM Georg Southey. 'South Africa's Department of Agriculture has, in a welcome move, approved a special, year-long arrangement with the United States of America that allows for a more dynamic trade response to avian influenza or bird flu outbreaks ensuring a continued supply of chicken imports into South Africa, thus increasing food security,' he said in a statement. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has logged 24 incidences of the deadly virus at poultry farms and culling operations. Its tracker noted that this exposure was associated with commercial agriculture and related operations. Overall, the CDC said that there were 70 cases in the US, with 64 of these detected through targeted H5 surveillance. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ However, Southey said that the deal ensures that chicken is only exported to South Africa from safe areas. The agreement was publicised in a letter released this week by the Department of Agriculture, and it 'empowers the US to manage its own internal chicken trade restrictions by state, depending on the presence or absence of bird flu outbreaks,' he said. If there is a highly pathogenic avian influenza or bird flu outbreak, the US will stop exports from a specific state and resume exports when safe, Southey said. 'The agreement allows local importers of essential affordable protein needed by millions of South Africans to access safe chicken with ease and removes onerous paperwork and delays,' Southey noted. Imported affordable proteins are essential for food security in South Africa where up to 30% of households in some provinces face regular hunger according to a recent Statistics South Africa. Calling on South Africa to sign similar agreements with other countries, he pointed to the fact that there were other agreements in place. 'Many countries which import chicken from Brazil have already implemented regionalisation process to allow safe imports to continue. These countries include Japan, Mexico, Cuba and notably neighbouring Namibia,' he said. IOL
