This might sound a really bizarre question, but do any other sufferers of penile shrinkage who visit here suffer from asthma? Given the links between steroids and reproductive problems/testicular atrophy I asked my doctor about the risks of using my steroid inhaler.
He assured me that there could be no link and the steroid dose in each puff is minute. However, I recently noticed that the shrinkage seems to be worse at times when I’m using my reliever inhaler more. I checked out Bricanyl and this is what Wikipedia told me
“Terbutaline (trade names Brethine, Bricanyl, or Brethaire) is a β2-adrenergic receptor agonist, used as a fast-acting bronchodilator “
Previously, I’d drawn attention to a patent application to prevent penile atrophy. Here’s what the abstract said:
“The present invention is concerned with the use of TXA2 receptor antagonists for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the prevention of degenerative changes in penile tissue.”
Now, I’ve no idea whether there’s any real science behind this application, and all attempts to contact the inventors have proved fruitless but it does seem strange that agonists and antagonists are both mentioned in info linking a potential pattern (for me at least) with the condition,.
Probably nothing in it but I’m sure every guy who’s ever experinced penile atrophy has thought of bizarre casues at one tim eor another.
