Now i've had asthma since i was born so imma pro. But mine is very bad and it dosnt help that im obease but over the years ive had to take many steroid meds for my asthma and have developed what seems to be gynecomastia and i was wondering if anyone else has developed it also from maybe this same thing?

I'm asking beucase ive recently learned that real steroids can cuase the development of this and just wondering if maybe these meds can do the same.


EDIT: oh and gynecomastia is the development of female breast tissue in a male usualy from high estrogen levels.(steroids can cuase hihg estrogen lvls in your body.

I would doubt it since inhaled steroids do not get into your bloodstream. However, if you've frequently taken oral prednisone, that could because it does get into your system. The inhaled ones dissipate into the airways.
