32-Year-Old Takes Steroids For a Smaller Penis and Larger Muscles

A 32 year-old weightlifter and bodybuilder experiences penile shrinkage as a result of creatine and excessive exercise. Now, he wishes to naturally grow his penis back.

Case #: 43962

Concern：

I am 32 years old and used to go extreme in bodybuilding and heavy weightlifting. Recently, I don’t get morning erection anymore. I suspect that the bodybuilding supplements and drinks that I took in excess, from creatine, yohimbe, to whey protein drinks and blue-green algae might have hurt my metabolism. The worse part is that my p size has decreased throughout the year. I don’t use steroids. The doctors couldn't find out why. I found out similar case of shrinkage due to heavy squats. How can I reverse it back?

Discussion：

Many hardcore weightlifting and bodybuilders have a higher level of cortisols and produced many stress hormones. Often during the training, a surge of cortisol, epinephrine, and various stress hormones will pump bloods to the muscle. There is a consequence for a body that exposed in high stress condition for a long period of time. It would disrupt the balance of 11Beta-HSD1 and testosterone biosynthesis in the testicle. ^{[1] [2]}

Usually the Leydig cells in the testicle regulate the balance of testosterone production, nitric oxide synthesis, and growth factors for the erectile tissue. However, in time of stress and mass production of stress hormones, there is simply too much coristol versus 11BetaHSD-1 and this leads to a decrease in your testosterone production and nutrient supply to the erectile tissue. The sad outcome would be reduction of penis size and weak erection. ^[2]

There are many ways you should do to reverse this adverse outcome. First, change your diet and consume foods that would help you with Liver Detox. A stronger liver would breakdown stress hormones and cortisol faster. Penile tissue nourishing herbs in Botanical Concoction For Penile Tissue Rejuvenation & Growth, can help you gradually rejuvenate your neuro-endocrine function and boost your prostaglandin E-1 & E-3, growth factors, and nitric oxide production.
