    Testicular atrophy

    so im curious about why everyone tells me to run hcg post cycle for testicular atrophy. naturaly I have a few questions, if anyone would be so kind as to give there input that would be much appreciated.

    1. why is testicular atrophy a big deal?
    (im not really concerned about the size of my balls)

    2. your testies regain their size a few months prior from natural test kicking back in, correct?
    (i didnt exactly messure my nuts last cycle but from what i could see that seemed to be the case for me)

    3. Is HCG generaly only used to keep them bad boys swole?

    No. There's much more to it than just testicular size.

    Any exogenous testosterone (TRT or anabolic use) will suppress intratesticular testosterone production which in turn often leads to azoospermia and in some cases, severe oligozoospermia. HCG (used during cycles) and SERMs (used post cycle) - clomiphene citrate in particular - can provide rescue and restorative effects on testicular function, spermatogenesis, and sperm motility. Unlike SERMs, aromatase inhibitors may actually impair normal testicular function and thus, are NOT recommended during PCT when restarting intratesticular function is the desired clinical outcome. It is believed HGH may offer some benefits as well but clinical data are as yet incomplete.

    Education is a big part of steroid use and knowing why certain drugs are recommended at specific stages of a cycle is important to help you recover properly.

    Wait until they're tiny, then see how you feel.

    2. your testies regain their size a few months prior from natural test kicking back in, correct?

    Sometimes yes, sometimes no. When shutdown it's a crapshoot how they will respond.

    3. Is HCG generaly only used to keep them bad boys swole?
    No, it's to keep them functioning thus making restarting easier and more effective.

    HCG should be run while "on cycle" and not in pct. It makes no sense to allow your testies to shut down. It keep you healthier in many ways. If it is run in pct is needs to be before serms are initiated.

    MI above is basically saying it's smart to use it on cycle, not after.

    There's a number of reasons why your testes function normally. Why would you want to let them atrophy and not protect them. Cycle responsibly.

    Whoever told you that must assume that everyone recovers. Silly.

    good old medical lingo / aka no sperm or few or scanty. I hate it when you tell people what they have they just stare at you, plan words works better.
