Does fish oil make your penis bigger?
Fish oil doesn't make your penis bigger. But fish oil may promote better sexual health. According to research, Omega 3 fatty acids in fish oil may address erectile dysfunction, which may create a sexual appetite through increased sex hormones. Fish oils may also increase dopamine levels in the brain, which may trigger sexual arousal and enhance sexual pleasure.
A 2017 review concluded that omega-3 fatty acids improved endothelial function in 16 of the 17 studies included.
Omega-3 is a powerful antioxidant that can aid in the prevention of oxidative stress in the penile tissues. It also has some properties that are thought to aid erectile function. Omega-3 benefits erectile dysfunction and helps sexually. They also have anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive properties in penile tissues and vessels.
As the penis ages, the corpora cavernosa, which is the body of the penis, loses muscle fibers and gets harder. This means that the tissues of the penis lose their ability to stretch over time. As the corpora try to fill with blood to get an erection, they become less able to widen and stretch. Corporeal fibrosis is now thought to be the cause of 66%–75% of ED cases.
Atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of fatty plaques in the penile arteries, also cuts off blood flow to the area. This means that the tissues in the penile area don't get as much oxygen as they should. Research has shown that a lack of oxygen can directly cause fibrosis to happen in a certain area.
The benefits of fish oil seem to come from its omega-3 fatty acid content. Fish that are especially rich in these oils include mackerel, herring, tuna, and salmon.
