Hi Guys, I am new here and need advice. Sorry for this long post but its all the info I have. At the age of 18 I used steroids(testosterone cypinate). Shortly after using them when I got into a higher dosage at my sixth week I noticed a major shrinkage of my testicles. When I ejaculated my right testicles had gotten so small that it went into my body. I got so scared that I stopped using them cold turkey. I used them for 6 WEEKS
! I am currently 32 years old and have been screwed up greatly. My testicles never return the size they were before steroids and my penis has shrunk to the size of pre-puberty. I have no sex drive which I had a very high one before steroids. I have a lot of other problems also that started to occur after I stopped the steroids.
I have constant depression, anxiety, insomnia, irritability, hard time concentrating, brain is always in a mental fog, bones are always cracking, have no energy or strength, don’t enjoy anything in life, which I was very high on life before the use of steroids, and my body composition went from being well defined to being flabby.
I went to doctors and they told me I was to young to be having these problems and it was in my head and they prescribed me antidepressants which helped with the mental depression but not the sex part. I have also developed a vericole vein on my left testicle. My adrenal glands may be messed up as well because I am constantly anxious. I don’t want to go on testosterone therapy replacement due to side effects I hear about.
My levels are:
FSH 4.14 range 0.7-11.1
LH 4.96 range 0.8-7.6
Estradiol 20.0 range 0.1-56.3
DHEA-S 155 range 80.0 - 560.0
Total Testosterone 399 range 270 - 1600
SHBG 16.5 range 7.2 - 100.0
Free Androgen Index 83.8 range 19.2 - 123.2
Thanks, Mike
