bodybuilding steroids and side effects? has anyone experienced hair loss and breasts shrinking?

hi, you'd need to take a lot of these things in order for those changes to occur in any dramatic way
it's true that you will experience changes related to your chest but they are most of all the result of the muscle training. If you've got small breasts anyway you will probably not see much of a change unless you push it really to a professional level. I had B cup breasts and they shrunk to A cups but usually A cups don't get that much smaller. As for the hairloss I'm not so sure it's rare and in my experience it's even the first thing that's happening, growth of body hair and hairloss on your head. But androgenic alopecia for us women does not come as a bald pate but as a general thinning of hair so there again it's Nothing dramatic. After a few years I've got a wide parting and generally thin hair you can see through and my front hairline has receded for an inch or so and my temples are bald. But it looks sharp in a way and you'll come to like it. As for the body hair, I started to pluck out my mustache but then I decided to simply shave like a man, I shave twice a day in order to avoid stubbles from being visible. The chest hair I let grow and only shave for competitions.

Hi, hairloss on your head and hairgrowth on your body, yes, all the rest is b.s., or you'd have to take the hormones real young, so if you care for your hair better don't go for the steroids. I've started late, in my early 30ies and started to take them at 35, when I knew I was going to stick to bodybuilding. Today I'm 41 and I have general thin hair on my head which I cut short but still the skin is very visible and there is kind of a triangle from the front to the centre of my head where you can see through really well. All of the women in my club who take something have more or less severe hairproblems. I'm one of the more severe cases though, most have only slightly thinning hair or bald temples. 1 has started early as soon as she was adult and she's of course the worst but she also took a lot.

I'm not the best example probably but anyway: I've started bodybuilding as an adolescent but I only started steroids when 23. I've always been on the male side, form a hormonal point of view, with too much testosterone. So I had excessive body hair anyway and maybe I'd have had thinning hair on my head anyway. It was really the fact that I had increased muscle mass anyway which brought me to bodybuilding. So, to make a long story short, I lost some fat tissue in my boobs, i grew more breast- and face hair and I lost a lot of hair on my head.

Yes all of this may happen... or may not. In my case I lost breast tissue and I started to suffer from clitoromegaly (that's a larger than usual clit), but I kept my hair and I grew practically no extra body hair. You seem to be well prepared to see your body change but I must warn you that the growing clit is far from unimportant as an issue. Women's clothes are not made for that and you'll experience difficulty in dressing. In my case the inner labia and the clit both got larger and now "hang out" and when erect my clit actually sticks horizontally out. It's only 2 cm, but believe me that's enough for it to be visible in thongs and even under a light dress. And on the other hand a girl who came and started 3 years ago taking medication has lost a lot of hair, grown a lot of body hair also but her breasts remained unchanged (but she was very flat from the beginning) and I never noticed that she would have a larger clit.

You're going to scare the hell out of our lady! I've lost very little hair and have also only very little extra body hair and the changes in my breasts are actually from the working out taking away fat and adding muscles underneath. It made my breasts firmer in a way. I mean look around you in the gym: if the effect would be as dramatic we'd all be bald and it would take a lot of med to have your clit grow! Stop fantasizing.

definitely yes, it makes you lose your hair, well some of it, and definitely no, it's not that dramatic actually not dramatic at all, 10 years into steroids I still have hair covering all of my head even if my parting got wider and you can see through it all a little bit. actually I lost it during the first years, that's also when I grew body hair (and there again, it's not dramatic, mostly in the corners over my mouth, where many women grow darker hair anyway, under the chin where you can pluck it out easily and around my areolas (and there again I know women who don't take stuff and who are hairy there anyway). breast shrinking will be induced by weight lifting anyway. growing of the clit I never heard of.

I believe the thing with the clit is a fantasy. What is true is that for the first months when I had started taking steroids I was turned on and "erect" but just like normal arousal. Then it got back to normal, as my body got used to the stuff. Breast shrinking is part of reshaping your body through exercise. I wouldn't know what came from that and what from steroids. Hairloss on the other part is definitely a side effect you should be aware of. True, we wpmen don't get completely bald but still the thinning of the hair, the receding hairline that's reality but it's well worth it.

Hi there. From my personal experience: hairloss, yes, definitely. The rest I wouldn't know. Breast shrinking I believe comes form the exercice, clit augmentation takes a lot of steroids to happen. The hairloss in my case is comparable to what I suffered after pregnancy, and it started just as suddenly, from 100/150 hairs in the first days to 200/250 after a couple of weeks, except that it didn't stop after a few months but at least it went down to 150/180. Body hair set in only after 6 months, chest, pubes, legs and face you name it. I stopped steroids after a year but the hair situation proved to be irreversible, so I went back to steroids. There was no more growth of body hair but balding resumed immediately. True we women don't develop the bald spot men get but general thinning is no better. I would say that over the 5 years I'm into steroids I've lost 2/3 of my hair and the male pattern clearly shows with only a crown still more of less full around my head. I'm pitied by those who don't know where it comes from, my hubbie is very supportive because he knows I like bodybuilding (he's into it to and should know about it: he was bald when 25) and I learned not to care.

Steroids do a lot of harm to our bodies. And some good... I kept my hair (or at least the loss was not significant), but I grew facial hair and my voice deepened. My periods became irregular and I was up to 3 months without having them. My breasts literally emptied themselves of their fat and I had to undergo an operation to have the excess skin removed as you would do for a breast reduction. My genitals grew, labia and clitoris. This was all the more awkward since my libido increased and I was frequently aroused for no reason and when I was of course it showed. In the end I quit but of course the physical changes stayed. My voice is more or less back to normal though and I have less erections.
