Do Steroids Have Negative Effect On Sexual Life?

Hi , I am Yasir Arshad. I am using an anabolic steroid named as Danabol Ds 10mg . I am taking it at 20 mg (2 tablets) per day . And I am using Nolvadex 10 mg also with this cycle . I have read many things on internet regarding steroids and sex health . So my question is how could I recover my natural sex health and taking my body back to natural functions after the cycle of 5 weeks steroids use. I will be thankful to you.

Dear Yassir Arshad,

Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Anabolic steroids.

Yes, they do have a negative impact on the sexual life in both the sexes.
Misuse of Anabolic steroids in males can cause the following:

Acne & decrease in libido, decrease in sperms production due to testicular atrophy (reduced size), gynecomastia, & impotency.

Nolvadex is basically an anti-estrogen mainly approved for the treatment of breast cancers which are dependent upon estrogen for their growth.

During a steroid cycle, Nolvadex is used by bodybuilders who are sensitive to estrogen buildup. Estrogen buildup can lead to many concerns, foremost of these is the occurrence of gynecomastia (growth of breast tissues in men) and subcutaneous fat and water retention.
This is also not a therapeutically approved indication of Nolvadex and hence it is also labelled as a drug of misuse.

Regarding the recovery from the adverse effects of the anabolic steroids, it may take a few days to several weeks to restore the normal hormonal pattern of the sexual life.

Do regular exercise, take a healthy balanced protein rich diet (meat, poultry, dry fruits, etc) along with fresh fruits which will enable to restore the normal sexual life.

Hope to have answered your query.
