Fix:
Fix:
hCG – 500-1000 IU every other day for 2-3 weeks (short-term use recommended to prevent
desensitization)
hMG – 37.5 IU every other day if fertility is a concern
Vitamin E & Selenium – Improves testicular health (Vitamin E 400 IU daily, Selenium 200 mcg
daily)
Fix:
Cause:
Deca Dick – Dihydro-nandrolone (DHN) binds weakly to androgen receptors, reducing DHT
activity.
Tren Dick – Increased prolactin and dopamine imbalance cause sexual dysfunction.
Fix:
Cause: Some steroids (like Trenbolone & Deca) increase prolactin, leading to sexual
dysfunction and nipple lactation.
Fix:
Cause: High DHT and androgenic compounds stimulate sebaceous glands and affect hair
follicles.
Fix:
Cause: Some compounds like Tren and GH can suppress TSH production.
Fix:
Cause: PEDs, especially anabolic steroids, increase hepatic lipase activity, which lowers HDL
and raises LDL, promoting an atherogenic lipid profile.
Fix:
Dietary Adjustments:

4. Increased Blood Viscosity (Thicker Blood) & Elevated Hematocrit & RBC
Count
Cause: Androgens stimulate erythropoiesis, increasing RBC count, which raises blood viscosity
and clotting risk.
Fix:
Blood Donation:
o Therapeutic phlebotomy (donate blood every 8-12 weeks if hematocrit is high)
Hydration:
o At least 4L of water daily
Supplements:
o Nattokinase (2000 FU daily) – Natural blood thinner

o Electrolyte balance (Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium)
Hydration & Lifestyle:
o Minimum 4L of water daily
o Avoid high-protein intake if kidney function is impaired
o Reduce caffeine & stimulant use
Cause: Chronic PED use can reduce glomerular filtration rate (GFR), indicating impaired kidney
function.
Fix:
Cause: Dehydration, excessive mineral intake, and PED-induced metabolic imbalances can
contribute to kidney stone formation.
Fix:
Cause: High androgen levels, especially from steroids like Trenbolone and Halotestin, increase
dopamine and suppress serotonin, leading to mood instability.
Fix:
Cause: Fluctuating dopamine and cortisol levels, overstimulation of the central nervous system,
and withdrawal from PEDs contribute to heightened anxiety.
Fix:
Cause: Abrupt drop in dopamine and serotonin levels after stopping PEDs, along with
suppressed natural testosterone production.
Fix:

androgen levels, leading to heightened sexual drive.
Fix:
Cause: Suppression of FSH and LH production reduces sperm count and semen volume.
Fix:
Caution: Long-term PED use can lead to permanent fertility issues if not managed correctly.
Cause: High androgen levels from anabolic steroids stimulate androgen receptors in the clitoral
tissue, leading to growth.
Fix:
Stop Androgenic Steroid Use Immediately – If changes are noticed early, some
reversibility is possible
Support Hormonal Balance:
o DIM (Diindolylmethane, 200 mg daily) – Helps regulate estrogen balance
o Ashwagandha (500 mg daily) – Supports hormone stability
Consult a Specialist:
o If irreversible changes occur, surgical options may be the only remedy
Cause: Androgenic steroids suppress estrogen and progesterone levels, leading to disrupted
menstrual cycles.
Fix:
Caution: Prolonged suppression can lead to long-term reproductive issues, including infertility.
Cause: Androgen receptors in the vocal cords respond to high androgen exposure, leading to
thickening and deepening of the voice.
Fix:
Caution: Voice deepening is permanent and cannot be reversed once vocal cord thickening has
occurred.
Cause: Low estrogen levels due to steroid use lead to fat loss in breast tissue, causing shrinkage.
Fix:
Estrogen Support:
o Phytoestrogens (Flaxseed, Soy Isoflavones) – May help balance estrogen levels
o Low-dose Estradiol Replacement Therapy – Only under medical supervision
Diet & Lifestyle Adjustments:
