A US-based man recently claimed on a sex advice podcast ‘How to do It’ that his penis has shrunk by 1.5 inches due to vascular damage he suffered after contracting Covid-19.
“I'm a heterosexual man in my thirties. In July of last year, I contracted Covid-19 and was very sick. When I got out of the hospital, I had some erectile dysfunction issues. Those gradually got better with some medical attention, but I seem to be left with a lasting problem. My penis has shrunk. Before I got sick, I was above average, not huge, but definitely bigger than normal. Now I've lost about an inch-and-a-half and become decidedly less than average,” he said on the podcast, as per reports in various publications.
