Man shares experience with ‘Mounjaro penis’ that added ‘3 inches’ to manhood

He's not the first one to mention this side effect

A man who took Mounjaro to lose weight has claimed that it came with the added benefit of adding three inches to his manhood.

The GLP-1 drug has become massively popular alongside its sister medications Ozempic and Wegovy as a quick and seemingly easy way of losing weight.

Despite being initially designed to treat type 2 diabetes, the pharmaceutical companies behind the drugs soon realised that they helped to massively reduce the appetite of anyone who took it, leading to significant weight loss.

Although the drugs do come with some particularly unpleasant side effects and very few people have been able to wean themselves off it successfully, more and more people across the world are now keen to try it out.

In the UK, Mounjaro is only available through the NHS to people who meet strict requirements, but the alarming growth of online pharmacies means that nearly anyone can get their hands on it.

There's no doubt that the drugs can sometimes come with some huge health benefits, with studies suggesting that it could decrease the chance of dementia, while also lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.

But when Mason Newman used the drug to help him lose 12 stone, going from a size XXXL to a size S, he probably wasn't expecting to see growth in his nether regions.

Although 'Ozempic penis' has been reported as a potential side effect before, doctors warned that any suspected increase was likely down to the decrease in fatty mass around your crown jewels.

But Mason now insists that taking Mounjaro helped his soldier grow, while he also ditched a takeaway addiction and saw his business skyrocket.

He told The Sun: “I tried the keto diet, water fasting. I tried juices. I tried eating nothing but two chicken breasts a day and nothing else.

“That lasted three weeks and was more of a mental challenge than anything. I couldn’t stick to them.

“I saw Oprah and people like that started taking it… then rumours about the Kardashians.

“I sat on it for about a month and just thought, ‘F*** it. Why not try it? It felt like a cheat code – an easy way to lose weight at the time."

Mason was spending around £2k a month on takeaways but now spends just £220 a month on his 15mg injections, with the first few weeks proving 'rough' even if it did have the unexpected benefit around his balls.

He said: “I still feel ill but I feel fortunate. I probably wouldn’t have had a life if I’d kept on eating.

“The first thing I noticed was I grew three inches on my penis,” he laughs. “Because when the fat goes you actually do see more of yourself.”

Mason now weighs just 11 stone but is worried about coming off the medication over fears that he might put the weight back on, despite now regularly running, playing football and doing MMA training.

He concluded: “I put a stone back on and the change in my mental health was crazy. I started getting anxiety and panic attacks again so I went back on. I didn’t feel depressed but I just wasn’t happy.

“I admit I’m still eating takeaways – just not much because I’m not hungry.

“If I come off it without building healthy eating habits, I’d put all the weight back on,” he says “I’m stuck, but I suppose there are worse things to be stuck on.”
