Man’s penis doubles in length after testosterone injections

We’ve all seen millions of ads for dodgy penis enlargment techniques – from weird ‘miracle’ pills to dodgy contraptions that look like they might rip yours off.

But one man has actually done it – he doubled the size of his penis using testosterone injections.


But here’s your obligatory don’t-try-this-at-home warning – the man in Karachi suffered from a rare condition which meant his body didn’t produce enough testosterone.

It had left him with a two-inch penis.

The man presented himself to the Aga Khan University in Karachi – complaining that he could not grow a beard and had no armpit or pubic hair.

His penis was a mere 1.9 inches long when stretched – around the same as a pre-pubescent boy’s, and he also had abnormally small testicles.

He was diagnosed with a condition known as hypogonadism – which can leave men unable to produce enough testosterone.

The case is described in British Medical Journal Case Reports.

After nine months of injections, the man’s penis had almost doubled in size to 3.7 inches – and his testicles had also expanded to a near-normal size.
