Ibuprofen shrinks testicles in regular twice-daily use.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29311296/



Testicular size isn’t mentioned in that paper, only compensated hypogonadism, i.e. normal testosterone levels maintained through a higher drive from the pituitary gland.

The paper also mentions a link between acetaminophen (not ibuprofen) and longer time to pregnancy.

Chronic use of NSAID among which ibuprofen can ruin your stomach, and/or your cartilage.

Regardless, we are slowly getting out of the dark ages of psychiatry, whose models were until recently as worthy as humor or miasma theory. That’s great.


This threads title and this immediate post is quite the emotional roller coaster
