Question 1

how do i get my testicles back to normal size after taking anabolic steroids?

Accepted Answer

Shrinking Testicles: Given your age, it would be my recommendation that you just leave them alone, not take more medications or hormones and let nature take the course of healing and let you recover your normal and natural hormone production.  Once that happens your testicles will recover, start producing sperm again and all will be well.

Question 2

how do anabolic steroids work?

Accepted Answer

Long or short answer: Short answer is that Anabolic steroids cause growth (as opposed to androgenic steroids that make you masculine or corticosteroids & mineralocorticoids which do neither but are still important in our health). Long answer is that testosterone affects receptors inside cell, stimulating replication (growth). Check out www.Sportsci.Org/encyc/anabster/anabster.Html.

Elevated blood pressure

Question 4

do anabolic steroids make you agressive?

Accepted Answer

Often: Quite a few gym guys who've tried anabolic steroids have reported being troubled by their own behavioral changes. I've been around fitness for decades, and every guy I know who's tried steroids has regretted experimenting. I'd urge you not to, but it's your decision. Most women prefer a naturally-fit man, and using steroids is mostly illegal, is cheating, and shrinks your testicles. No thanks.

Question 5

someone i know wants to use anabolic steroids?

Accepted Answer

Bad idea: Anabolic steroids have lots and lots of nasty effects, including causing psychotic reactions, testicular atrophy, infertility, and heart disease.  If you have any influence over this "someone, " tell them it's not worth it.  In professional and even semi-professional sports, they are testing for it everywhere.  Whatever improvement in muscle strength, bulk etc. Can be achieved by good diet;exercise.

Question 6

is there a safe alternative to anabolic steroids?

Accepted Answer

Hard work: Anabolic steroids have short-term and long-term side effects. There are many supplements that are supposed to increase the gains that you realize from your workouts. Any of those supplements that mimic the effects of steroids (remember androstenedione) potentially come with the same short and long term side effects. But nothing substitutes for hard work.

Question 7

hello sir i want to know about anabolic steroids?

Accepted Answer

What's to know?: I've been around gyms for decades, and every ordinary fitness-guy that I know who's tried them would urge others not to. The aggression can cause you to do something impulsively that you'll regret horribly; the depression after can land you in the mental ward. Most women prefer a naturally fit man and can tell -- and not just from your shrunken testicles. Please be careful, man, and choose wisely.

Question 8

what kind of anabolic steroids is not very strong?

Accepted Answer

Steroids?: The strength is not important, as increasing doses make the weaker stronger. The problem is using Anabolic steroids for non-medical bodybuilding or weight gain.  This class has serious emotional and physical side effects and should be used for medical problems under strict medical supervision.

Question 9

could anabolic steroids actually give athletesthis not the case?

Accepted Answer

Give athletes what?: Your question seems to read - could Anabolic steroids give athletes this not the case.  You don't say what. Anabolic steroids have many serious side effects over time, and this is one of the reasons they have been banned in professional sports - emotional changes (rhoid rage), anger and even psychosis, potential liver and heart damage, atrophy of testicles and impaired fertility.

Question 10
