Dr. Howard Tay answered

Specializes in Urology

Penile length: The simple answer is yes for most folks who are overweight. The adipose tissue ie fat hanging over the "belly" tends to shroud the penis. Fatty tissue converts testosterone to estrogen so an abundance of fat /adipose tissue potentially has a 2 prong effect on penile length.
