How To Keep Your Balls In Order
Marshall Brown. B.Sc. Ph.D
A common problem amongst
bodybuilders and other strength athletes is that of testicular shrinkage
during the prolonged use of androgens / anabolic steroids.
This can be thought of in the following way: the hypothalamus in the
human brain has a detection mechanism which regulates the release of
many hormones which control the production of androgens by the testes
and the adrenal glands. If this detection mechanism detects an
abnormally high amount of androgen / anabolic steroids, which it
recognises primarily as testosterone, then the hormones responsible for
testosterone release will have their production decreased, and so the
testes etc. will no longer be stimulated by these hormones, and so will
cease, or decrease, production of natural testosterone, and so cause
testicular shrinkage.
Oestrogen
(androgens can aromatise in the body into oestrogens) have even more of
a shut-off effect upon the release of androgens via the hypothalamus,
and so we have a problem, with both androgens /
anabolic steroids (which are all basically androgens) and oestrogens
causing shut-down of hormonal stimulation of the testes, and thus
testicular shrinkage.
One of the best ways to
avoid this is to take some Tamoxifen (perhaps 20mg per day) in order to
stop the oestrogen, from the aromatisation of androgens, acting upon
receptors in the hypothalamus. Therefore, even though the oestrogens are
still there, their effect is blocked by the Tamoxifen. This is also very
useful to prevent gynaecomastia (bitch tits), i.e. formation of breast
tissue in the male, caused by aromatisation of the androgens to
oestrogens in the body.
Another very good idea is to use chrysin (an isoflavone compound,
derived from plants), which prevents the formation of oestrogen in the
first place, by inhibiting the enzymes which perform aromatisation on
the androgens, and so very much reduce the production of oestrogens from
the steroids, hence reducing the effect upon the hypothalamus, and so
upon the testes. Therefore, testicular shrinkage can be very much
reduced, and so you are likely to be preserving that part of the
function of your endocrine hormonal system.
What if you
say you don't care about it? Well, you can probably say goodbye to
getting an erection if your own endocrine system is messed up, and you
may also risk life-long infertility. Look after your health, and you
will have a longer and happier life, and in this case, a more active sex
life.
In general, if natural testosterone production shuts-down, then men
experience problems in getting erections, or even become impotent,
whilst wanting more sex! VERY frustrating, as you can imagine.
Alternatively, sex drive may disappear completely, or be very much
reduced.
Therefore, the
message from this article is to use Tamoxifen AND chrysin DURING, and
for four or five weeks AFTER a steroid cycle. It is then advisable to be
off steroids for as long a period of time as you were on them, before
you begin your next cycle. It is also advisable to use HCG (Human
Chorionic Gonadotrophin) both during, and for four or five weeks after a
steroid cycle. This acts directly upon the testes themselves, and helps
to keep natural testosterone production going along.
If your testes do shrink slightly, then don't panic, as they will return
to normal upon cessation of steroid use, as long as shrinkage is not
severe: if so, stop the steroid cycle immediately by slowly tapering
down the dosages (stop injectables first, followed by reducing oral
steroid dosages).
Enjoy your
bodybuilding, but remember, nobody should consider taking anabolic
steroids until they have gained everything they can by using hard
training, enough rest, a lot of protein, and everything else from the
health food store i.e. by training naturally. This can take anything up
to eight or ten years of consistent training, i.e. you have to make
bodybuilding part of your life-style.
You are living dangerously if you don't follow this advice (see previous
articles in 'No
Bull Collection'), and once you are so fit, you will experience far
fewer, or no, side effects from steroids after all these years of
natural training, i.e. you have 'prepared' your body for them.
