Doctors warn men, especially those with erectile dysfunction, about the potential for 'winter penis', a condition caused by restricted blood flow in cold weather.
WINTER weather can trigger a variety of health problems, including increased risk of flu, asthma attacks, and greater chance of heart attacks and strokes., doctors are now warning of another issue men in particular face - and it could affect their performance in the bedroom.It occurs due to restricted blood flow, as the body prioritises other, more essential areas to maintain warmth - such as vital organs.
While all men are at risk of winter penis, those that already have erectile dysfunction are most likely to encounter problems, said Dr Crystal Wyllie, She warned: 'Those with erectile dysfunction are most at risk as they could find their symptoms more difficult to manage.'The reaction can last as long as the body is exposed to cold temperatures, with size returning to normal once the body returns to a warmer, more comfortable state,' advised Dr Donald Grant, GP and Senior Clinical Advisor at But if someone is experiencing problems associated with blood flow or experience a long-term change in size or shape of genitals, it’s always safe to seek more tailored advice from their GP, said Dr Grant.As a precaution, the doctors recommend wearing insulated underwear to help keep the penis warm and less likely to react to the cold.can affect the penis in other ways - many men believe as the heat rises it has a flattering effect on their length and girth down below.is a term people use to describe when a male's penis seems a bit bigger or fuller during hot weather.“The idea is that in warmer months, especially when it’s hot and humid, the heat causes your blood vessels to expand a bit, which can make things down there look a bit different.
