Dr. Terry Dubrow is discussing a significant side effect experienced by some men who are taking semaglutide medications, such as Ozempic.
This is designed to help people feel better about their weight loss journey and improve their intimacy.
On the November 24th episode of their podcast, Between Us, Terry mentioned a newly identified side effect linked to Ozempic. He referred to it as “Ozempic penis,” explaining that it’s a real condition he’s become aware of, as he told Heather Dubrow.
Before her husband explained what was wrong, Heather guessed he meant he was experiencing erectile dysfunction, saying, “I think he’s saying it’s hard for him to get an erection.”
However, the star of Botched, who has been married to Heather since 1999, explained what was meant by the term “Ozempic Penis.”
He explained that significant weight gain can sometimes lead to a condition where the penis becomes hidden by excess tissue. This often happens in very obese men who haven’t seen their penis in a long time because of the large amount of fat and tissue in the pubic area, which can cause it to become covered.
Heather quickly caught on, noting, “it looks bigger?”
Terry quickly confirmed his wife’s latest guess.
“Men, I want to inform you that Ozempic penis is a thing,” Terry said. “And it’s good.”
Heather, who has three children – Nick and Max, ages 21, Kat, 18, and Ace, 14 – with the doctor, joked that men would quickly seek out the weight loss drug due to how well it works. She does, however, hope the drug’s side effects were different for women.
She said, frustrated, “It’s just so unfair. It seems like when women use Ozempic, they face negative consequences, but for men, it’s seen as a positive thing. It’s the same old double standard.”
Terry jokingly responded, “You haven’t experienced any… growth, but you’ve definitely seen shrinkage, thanks to Ozempic. Congratulations.”
Heather is also eager to see how her husband is responding to Mounjaro, the weight loss medication he’s been taking.
She jokingly said she hadn’t noticed because I was taking Mounjaro, and she was surprised I hadn’t mentioned it before.
Terry and Heather have openly talked about the downsides of weight loss medications. They discovered that these drugs don’t offer any benefits for women and can actually cause a specific and unpleasant genital side effect, sometimes referred to as ‘Ozempic Vulva’.
Terry told TopMob News in October that lower body fat often means lower estrogen levels. This can potentially lead to less natural lubrication, increased irritation, and reduced fullness in the vaginal area.
However, Heather was quick to note, “That’s not my problem!”

In a September 2024 episode of her podcast, Dream On, Kate Moss’s sister shared that starting Ozempic was “the worst decision I ever made.”

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! Apparently, one of my absolute favorites from The Real Housewives of Atlanta tried one of those weight loss injections, and… it didn’t work for her! I’m so gutted for her, honestly. I was following her journey so closely, hoping it would be a success, but she shared that it just didn’t do the trick. It’s just… heartbreaking!
She explained that a certain treatment didn’t reduce her appetite at all. Unlike some people who lost their appetite, she continued to eat normally – appetizers, a full meal, and even dessert. She admitted feeling down when she saw others succeed with the same treatment while it didn’t work for her, leading her to question what was wrong with her and why she wasn’t experiencing the same results. She shared these thoughts in June 2024.
I’m not a medical expert, but it’s clear there’s a lot of data on what treatments are effective and what isn’t,” she said in an interview with Fox News Digital. “Ozempic can be very helpful, but it also carries some risks.

The actress, known from Beverly Hills, 90210, reportedly used a weight loss drug after having her son, Beau, in 2017.
She mentioned on her podcast in April 2024 that Ozempic wasn’t effective for her, but Mounjaro helped her lose weight.
The actress explained to Francesca Amiker of TopMob News that it’s crucial to remember medications are prescribed for specific individuals and shouldn’t be used simply for cosmetic reasons.

In September 2023, the host of Talk U.K. shared that she had lost 42 pounds after using the medication Ozempic earlier that year.

She added, “We don’t have to bulls–t.”
Sharon’s daughter has also weighed in on the Ozempic trend.

In a March 2024 interview with The New York Times Magazine, Kate confessed she wasn’t familiar with Ozempic, saying, “All I know is that it’s some pill people are taking.”
“Oh, my God,” Kate remarked after learning about the injectable. “This sounds terrible.”
In December 2023, the star of The Hills shared that she had recently lost 22 pounds without using Ozempic. She told Page Six that she believes there are no easy fixes when it comes to weight loss, and she wouldn’t consider using the drug herself, nor would she comment on others who do. She doesn’t want to name anyone or get involved in the discussion, as it’s something she would never personally do.
Heidi said she’s looking for something sustainable and isn’t afraid of hard work.
During her June 8, 2023 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the Trainwreck star openly criticized celebrities for being dishonest about using Ozempic to lose weight.
Honestly, it’s EVERYONE. Seriously, everyone is trying this stuff, and they’re all pretending like it’s just about eating less? Please! I was telling Andy Cohen – he gets it, he’s talked about this too – that it’s total BS. Just admit it! Either you’re on Ozempic or something similar, or you’ve had procedures done. Just be real about it, okay? Stop with the lies!
Okay, so Amy Schumer just gets it, you know? She’s always so honest, and she just said the most amazing thing! She was talking about being open about stuff, and she was like, ‘When I had liposuction, I told people I had liposuction!’ Seriously, I love that she’s so real. It’s like, own it! It’s so refreshing to see someone famous just be honest about things like that. I’m totally obsessed with how upfront she is!
She shared that she quickly became very interested in Ozempic in 2022, but ultimately stopped taking the medication—which is typically used for Type 2 diabetes—because it interfered with her ability to enjoy time with her son, Gene.
I remember being too sick to play with my son,” Schumer shared. “I was really thin at the time, and he was throwing a ball at me, but I just didn’t have the strength to participate.
Oh my gosh, Dr. Drew told me – well, he told TopMob News, but it’s basically the same thing! – at the Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test premiere that people are so conflicted about shows like that. He said we’re totally fascinated, like we have to watch, but then we also secretly judge the contestants? It’s so true! We’re all hooked, but also a little critical, aren’t we? I just love how insightful he is!
As a lifestyle advisor, I always say, if there’s a treatment that could genuinely improve your well-being, it’s definitely worth considering. Don’t dismiss options that might help you feel your best!
Forget winter, a hot take is coming.
The actress, known for her role in Game of Thrones, didn’t hold back when discussing Ozempic and the commercials promoting it.
I was really struck by something I saw on Instagram recently. The actress I follow reposted a tweet from Sophie Vershbow, and it perfectly captured how I feel about those Ozempic ads everywhere! She was talking about seeing them plastered all over the Times Square subway, and honestly, I agree with her – they’re just… a lot. She shared a picture of one that said, “One shot to lose weight,” and another that basically offered the same thing – “A weekly shot to lose weight.” It just felt… insensitive, you know?
Turner adding her own commentary, writing, “WTF.”
As a lifestyle expert, I want to clarify something I’ve been seeing a lot of discussion around. Novo Nordisk, the company that makes Ozempic, has confirmed to me that currently, the FDA hasn’t approved Ozempic specifically for long-term weight management. It’s important to understand that while it’s being used for that purpose by some, that’s not what it’s officially approved for right now.
Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, acknowledges that some doctors are prescribing the drug for weight loss, but the company doesn’t advertise or support using its medications for purposes other than those officially approved. They state they fully follow all U.S. laws and regulations when promoting their products, and they expect doctors to consider each patient’s specific needs when choosing the best treatment.
Comedian Chelsea Handler is speaking out about Ozempic, revealing her doctor prescribed it to her for anti-aging purposes without fully explaining what the drug was.
She mentioned on the January 25, 2023 episode of Call Her Daddy that she hadn’t realized she was using a certain method, and someone told her it could help her lose five pounds if she wanted to.
But while she tried the drug, Handler noted that she didn’t like how it made her feel.
She remembered returning from vacation and immediately using the medication. A few days later, she met a friend for lunch who mentioned feeling sick and taking Ozempic. She realized she was feeling nauseous too, but initially thought it was just jet lag from her trip to Spain.
Handler eventually stopped taking the medication because she didn’t need it for medical reasons, and she shared any leftover doses with friends.
She admitted to giving Ozempic to around four or five friends, explaining she decided it wasn’t for her because she felt it was unnecessary. She described having friends come to her house to receive injections, scheduling appointments throughout the day.
Khloe Kardashian clapped back when commenters on Instagram speculated that she was taking Ozempic.
Kardashian defended her commitment to fitness in a January 2023 post, explaining she works out five days a week, starting at 6 a.m. She asked people to stop making assumptions about her and expressed disappointment that negativity continued even at the start of the new year.
Besides using weight-loss medication, Dr. Dubrow shared in January 2023 that he briefly tried Mounjaro himself to understand its effects on the body.
The Botched star said she was really impressed with the weight loss medication. She didn’t need to lose a significant amount of weight herself, but she was curious to experience it firsthand, since many of her patients used it. She wanted to see what it was like for someone who isn’t diabetic and only wants to lose about ten to fifteen pounds.
Dr. Dubrow wouldn’t say exactly how much weight he lost or how long he used the medication, but he did confirm that he’s stopped taking it.
He decided to stop taking the medication because he wanted to regain his appetite, and he’d also been feeling mildly nauseous.
