A member asked:
Is the atrophy of a man's testicles an effect of taking anabolic-androgenic steroids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: By taking steroids you tell your endocrine system you don't need hormones so it shuts the testicles down. They atrophy and can retract some. For more: www.Peedoc.Com @thepeedoc.
