do steroids cause anything else besides testosterone replacement therapy?Originally Posted by ojand
im guessing your english isnt strong, but yes steroid use at a young age can bring low natural levels after abuse- you may recover- but generally your body will try to scale back receptors to handle the high amounts of test in your system.
it does this to find a homeostasis.When you get off steroids- you will find you will not feel as good as you did before- it may be subtle and could take months to make a full recovery or not a full recovery at all. Some dont feel a difference ( or notice it)
it is advised to start after your endocrine system has matured so you are able to grow receptors and other associated functions nessasary to develop naturally- after all you spend most of your life in a natural state.
Taking steroids young disrupts your development of these functions and you end up dificient. thereby possibly requiring trt to take up the slack ( trt is for life-2 injections a week)
more than likely your dr will not prescribe trt because you are too young and not low enough - but the effects of abuse will be bourne out with lower than natural levels until you become low legally around age 40+ wereby trt is a viable option.
