After he was discharged, he began experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED). Though his symptoms did improve after seeing a doctor, the man reportedly was left with a glaring reminder of his ordeal. Describing himself as above average in penis size before covid-19, he said that his penis had now shrunk about 1.5 inches and that he had \u201cbecome decidedly less than average.\u201d<\/p><p>The podcast hosts, to their credit, also interviewed a pair of urologists who rightly noted that there\u2019s a clear trail of evidence linking covid-19 to erectile or sexual dysfunction. A study this past November, for instance,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/m.ufhealth.org\/news\/2021\/uf-health-study-suggests-association-between-covid-19-and-erectile-dysfunction\" target=\"_blank\">found<\/a>\u00a0that men with covid-19 were about three times as likely to develop a new case of ED than those who didn\u2019t catch covid-19.<\/p><p>As the Slate hosts note, there are readily available treatments for ED, such as the drug sildenafil (Viagra). And even a shrunken penis can be treated or prevented through what one urologist refers to as \u201cpenile rehab,\u201d which can involve stretching exercises and\/or penis-pumping devices. So not all hope is lost if you\u2019re worried about the dreaded covid dick.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we&#8217;ll add that to the list of reasons we&#8217;re quarantining.  <\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-27257\" data-postid=\"27257\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-27257 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loss of taste and smell.
