Fertility On Steroids
Posted: 11-17-04 01:16am

Steroids affect the normal testosterone, fsh and lh production levels that a male produces. It essentially shuts down your reproductive system as the artificial testosterone is recognized as being your body's own. Your friends husband may be infertile, but this depends on various factors such as: type of steroid abused, length of cycle and dosage. See the question posted under "male infertility"; user name drmarc, for a firsthand account of what steroids can do to the male reproductive system.
