Your penis SHRINKS during exercise - and there's nothing you can do to stop it

If you're a man who loves hitting the gym, you may unknowingly be shrinking both your penis and your testicles

It’s often seen as a very macho activity, but hitting the gym can actually have detrimental effects - to your penis .

Dr Richard Honaker, chief medical officer at Your Doctors Online, has warned that exercising makes men’s penises smaller, as well as their testicles .

Speaking to Fatherly , he explained: “It all has to do with blood flow.

“When working out, the body sends blood to the muscles and joints, thus reducing the amount to the penis and scrotum.”

Dr Honaker added that there’s ‘nothing to do to prevent it.’

Thankfully, the change is only temporary, and is usually nothing to worry about.

However, you shouldn't take the news as an opportunity to ditch the gym, according to Dr Honaker.

He added: “It is more important to exercise regularly than to worry about a temporary loss of penis size.”

Exercising isn’t the only thing that makes men’s penises shrink. Shrinkage is also a natural part of the ageing processes, and also affects the testicles.

Speaking to Fatherly, Dr Jamin Brahmbhatt, a urologist based in Florida, explained: “The penis can lose about a centimetre of length from your rock solid thirties to when you’re in your about to retire sixties.”
