Accepted Answer

: A virtual consult with Healthtap to review the need and proper use of the nasal steroid may be helpful. Avoid contact with your eyes. Avoid common allergic triggers including dust,pet dander and pollen. A screening test for glaucoma is recommended.

Question 2

my frnd is 19 and he is doing zym workout for 1 year.he want to increase hight at any cost so i want to know only from steroids expert, best cycle? plz

Accepted Answer

Too late : You cannot take any meds or so any exercise to increase your height. It is an absolute falsehood. It is determined genetically and through years of proper diet. At age 19, he is unlikely to grow much any more. What his height is now is likely to be his height for life.

Question 3

can you tell me how do steroids increase ldl levels?

Accepted Answer

Not all steroids: Raise LDL levels. Only Anabolic steroids have this undesirable effect. Read this article for a scientific discussion of this topic.

Question 4

could steroids increase your sexual drive a lot more than usual?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are lots of steroids. If you're on prednisone, this usually doesn't increase sex drive although i've known a few patients who say it does. Androgenic steroids like testosterone certainly increase your sex drive.

Question 5

is there a way to increase size of your penis without using any steroids, tablets or any other chemical stuff like that?

Accepted Answer

No: Despite all the claims of different internet sources  there is no way to substantially change the length or girth of your penis. A penile vacuum assist device may be used to maximize the size you do have. Weight loss, pubic fat liposuction and trimming of the pubic hair may enhance the appearance of your natural length.

Question 6

will steroids increase sex drive?

Accepted Answer

Yes indeed: This is an unpredictable effect of medications such as prednisone. Be alert to a huge range of possible affects on the mind -- not all of them pleasant.

Question 7

does steroids increase body hair in lady?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The answer depends upon the type of steroid used. For instance, corticosteroids like prednisone, used in asthma, etc, does not affect testosterone or body hair. However, anabolic & androgenic steroids like testosterone can cause hirsutism (excess body hair) in women if taken in excess. It can also cause male pattern baldness if converted into dihydrotestosterone. So docs must be very careful w/t.

Question 8

increased pain after epidural steroid injection. what to do?

Accepted Answer

Normal: If it does not resolve in a week, call your doctor to see what options you may have regarding this increased pain.  Although uncommon, it can happen and usually will go away on its own.

Question 9

i have dental wrk soon. how much should i increase steroids?  have addison disease. on 25mg in am and 20 mg pm now.

Accepted Answer

Addison's: You must run this question by your doctor who prescribes your steroids. Based on what specific dental work you are having done, and your baseline use (including dose and how long you have been on treatment), then the doctor can calculate how much and for how long you should change your baseline treatment. This is especially important  since you are diabetic and increased steroids will affect BS.

Question 10

i am 27 year old guy, i have been given steroids (hisone, eltroxin, cernos depot)  to increase my harmonal growth, what kind of side effects can i face

Accepted Answer

Side Effects: Side effects of Anabolic steroids include, but are not limited to:  excess red cell division and clotting (stroke, blood clots to the lungs), prostate enlargement, testicular atrophy, pituitary disfunction, breast tissue development, sleep apnea, and mood changes.  

Its a real bad idea to take any hormone in excess of a physiologically normal value.
