The rise in bizarre 'winter penis' and how to avoid it
Briefly

Dr. Saransh Jain explained, 'when it's cold out, your body limits blood flow to extremities like fingers, toes, and yes - your penis to retain heat in your vital organs.' This is known as vasoconstriction and causes the blood vessels to constrict, limiting blood flow to your penis.
When 'winter penis' occurs, Dr. Jain reveals that 'the shaft of the penis and testicles move closer to the body to maintain the optimal temperature for sperm production,' indicating an evolutionary adaptation for protection.
Although most men experience 'winter penis' briefly and occasionally, those with already existing erectile dysfunction may find the condition more challenging to manage during colder weather.
Dr. Jain mentioned, 'The effects are only temporary and do not cause any long-term changes,' noting that warming up returns size to normal as the body stops adjusting to the cold.
