[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 21998, member: 3"] Corticoid steroids in asthma inhalers are known to decrease testosterone. A ostudy noted that men with asthma and on corticosteroids tended to have lower testosterone. The authors wrote "low blood testosterone was found mainly in the patients with severe (37.76%) and moderate (40.00%) form of the disease and very rarely in patients with mild form of bronchial asthma (8.51%). The basic testosterone level changes are probably due to the stress, hypoxia and corticosteroid treatment. The possibility of a direct suppressive action of exo- and endoallergens on the testes are discussed.." But is this really the case? Why aren't physicians noting the connection, considering the number of patients on these sort of asthma medications, if this is really a significant issue? And some research shows no real suppression of the HPAcor testosterone with inhaled corticosteroids. One study found that, while powerful oral steroids like prednisolone decreased testosterone by 33%, the inhaled version caused no significant drop in testosterone or leutinizing hormone. [/QUOTE]
