A heterosexual man in the United States has claimed his penis shrunk by 1.5 inches as a result of vascular damage he suffered after contracting COVID-19. The man in his thirties said the issue has had a ‘profound impact on my self-confidence and abilities in bed’. Speaking on the sex advice podcast ‘How To Do It’, the victim revealed his troubling affliction.

The man said he contracted a severe bout of the virus in July last year, but after being discharged from the hospital upon recovery, was left with a strange case of erectile dysfunction, DailyMail reports.

“This affliction was remedied with treatment over time, but to his dismay, the victim found his penis had contracted considerably – a condition doctors told him is likely permanent due to vascular damage in his erectile tissue. 

“It comes as a University College London study of 3,400 people found that a shortened penis was a rare symptom among the 200 who developed long Covid,” DailyMail noted.

Meanwhile, a study published in the World Journal of Men’s Health by the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine showed widespread endothelial cell dysfunction from COVID-19 infection can contribute to significant ED.

In his podcast, he said “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.

“It’s apparently due to vascular damage, and my doctors seem to think it’s likely permanent.

“It shouldn’t really matter, but it has had a profound impact on my self-confidence in my abilities in bed.”
