Doctor Warns of 'Winter Penis': Cold Weather Shrinks Size by 50%
A doctor warns about "winter penis," a condition where cold weather causes male genitalia to shrink by up to 50% due to reduced blood flow as the body conserves heat. This temporary condition can make achieving an erection difficult, particularly affecting men with erectile dysfunction. While generally reversible with warmth, persistent shrinkage may indicate other health issues like cardiovascular disease.
