My package has always shrunk during and after exercise, that is very common. I remember even back in school after swimming, for the rest of the day things didn’t look good. But yeah, maybe because thing are messed up down there anyway, the diversion of blood effects it for a while after.
I think it’s hormonal though, because i start feeling like shit too. Maybe my body can’t handle a boost in cortisol or testosterone or something. As usual, im just left guessing and could be way off.
I have two theories on the mechanism for the shrunken penis during and after exercise. It could be either of them or even a combination of both.
With our lowered adrenal cortex activity (cortisol) (that is apart of my overall PFS theory), during exercise our body must rely on an overload of adrenal medulla activity (adrenaline). Adrenaline is well known to move blood away from the genitals.
Exercise irritates and inflames the prostate, especially to those who already have prostate issues. This blocks the arteries to the penis even moreso than they already are.
What sources state that exercise irritates the prostate? so guys with prostatitis should avoid exercise altogether? surely increased blood flow gives benefits…
You won’t find any “scientific” articles or research on it. I am basing this off first hand account of people who have bad cases of prostatis.
I have this as well - I cannot remember it being this bad pre-fin so there is definitely a difference.
