pressure: you'll not only live longer, you'll just feel healthier.
HIRSUTISM - This is the medical term for hairriness in women and though treatable, is
irreversible. Most of the very muscular women in bodybuilding and powerlifting have to
shave every day. Not just the legs, but the arms, the chest (including around the
nipples), the face, and the buttocks, especially the lower inner glutes around the rectum.
Although such hairriness is physically harmless, it is considered socially and sexually
repugnant and does cause severe emotional trauma for women. Hairriness can happen
even on low androgen steroids such as the Decas. It usually does not happen with
Anavar, the Prirnobolans, and moderate dosages of Winstrol. A woman using 50mg of
injectable Winstrol every 2nd or 3rd day can get hair growth, but a daily dosage of
10-15mg would probably not cause the problem. Most of the hair can be shaved, waxed,
or removed by electrolysis, but even with electrolysis women will experience hair
regrowth, especially when using steroids again.
IMPOTENCE - As discussed before, many (too many) male athletes get reduced libido
as a result of the whole male reproductive system shutting down in response to steroids
in the body. The impotence is temporary, can be avoided with the use of HCG, and can
be brought back once off the drugs. In the curious case of female impotence from steroid
use, I truly am at a loss for a solution because the effects vary so widely from individual
to individual.
Some women get extremely aroused while using steroids; others using exactly the same
steroid and dosage have no sex drive whatsoever. The impotence problem is
compounded in both sexes while on a calorie restricted diet. Not only are both men and
women usually impotent then; they're usually defensive and mean-spirited about it.
INSOMNIA - Steroids do have mood elevating properties, and they can act like a mild
central nervous system stimulant. This effect is most apparent if you take the steroids at
night before you (try to) go to sleep. To avoid the steroid insomnia problem, steroids,
both oral and injectable, should be taken just after awakening.
JAUNDICE - This is a very serious side effect, but is rarely encountered in healthy
athletes. Jaundice indicates that you have some serious liver problems, possibly
hepatitis. Before your skin turns yellow, the corners of the whites of the eye will, so you
do have a preindication that something very bad is about to happen. This side effect
warrants a quick cessation of steroid use and a visit to a doctor for some blood tests. A
healthy athlete would have to be using a very large amount of oral steroids to reach this
state.
LARYNX/Adam's apple growth - This is a very rare side effect that happens to women
who use steroids which are moderate to highly androgenic and use them over a long
period of time (years). First the voice gets low, then the cartilage on the outer larynx
thickens and begins to take on the characteristics of the male's Adam's apple. Again,
this is a side effect that is physically harmless, but socially repugnant.
LIVER DISEASE - Most reported cases of liver disease have developed in hospitalized
non-athletes. Documentation of liver disease in healthy athletes is, as discussed before,
so rare as to be statistically insignificant. This does not mean that the steroid taking
