A member asked:
Would taking male hormones increase facial hair? i am pro weightlifter (female).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All Anabolic steroids (steroids used to increase muscle mass) have androgenic (male "making") effects as well. You can get increased facial hair, development of acne, voice deepening, and clitoris enlargement. Not all of these are reversible!
