How Steroids Can Affect The Penis

Even though steroids have been banned by every major sport and even high school sports, people are still using steroids. Mostly the people that use them are bodybuilders, athletes, and people that feel that they need them to look stronger. Steroids can also be used as a pain reliever in some cases, but mostly they are used to give a look of strength because they promote growth of tissues and muscles to give men and some women the larger muscles that they are looking for. Steroids are not healthy for you in general and can cause a plethora of side effects and even death in some cases.

Anabolic steroids are the most common steroids used. Besides making muscles bigger they also bring more testosterone to a man who is using them. Testosterone is mainly known to produce the masculine features that accompany a growing boy during puberty. Due to this fact, anabolic steroids are used by many men who think that it will help increase the size of their penis and the erection that they can achieve. Steroids are expensive though, and many men cannot keep up with the cost to see if their penis actually gets larger because of it. That means that instead of actually using steroids they may try other steroid containing substances that can also be dangerous for them.

What men do not realize is that steroids cannot enhance or enlarge the penis in any way. In fact, the result is quite the opposite. The effects of steroids do not just stop at damaging the body, but they can cause a man to become impotent either temporarily or permanently. When taking steroids the sexual desire is decreased significantly and it is hard to even get an erection. Essentially, the penis becomes paralysed and is unable to perform as it should. Over an extended period of usage, steroids can even cause a penis to "shrink" to a much smaller size then it once was. This is of course not completely studied as of yet, but many people believe that this is the case. Most likely it is the steroids that are stopping the penis from getting erect and thereby showing the penis in the non-erect state rather than actually causing the penis to shrink. No one can really reach a definite conclusion.

One thing is true though. While steroids may not cause shrinkage, it most certainly can aggravate the situation. Steroids should never be used for any reason. The danger is just too great, not only to your penis, but to your entire body.

Do Steroids Make Your Penis Shrink Or Do Steroids Make Your Penis Grow?

It’s a big concern for all men who are thinking of using steroids or andro prohormones…

In countless locker rooms across America a conversation very similar to this has transpired: Joe Sixpack: “so will using steroids make my penis shrink?” John Sixpack: “I don’t think it’s the penis that shrinks it’s the balls, right?” Jim Sixpack: “I don’t know, they always make fun of the buff guy in movies saying he has no dick because he used steroids.” And so the questions linger and get bantered around over and over again. Many of you may be considering using steroids or legal anabolics like prohormones and have the same questions as the guys were asking above and so, we will address them here in this article.
Will steroids shrink my penis?

Steroids do not impact the male’s penis unless he is still on the growing stage of his development. Some say that the growth stage is basically over at 18 and other at 21. Either way, it’s a pretty safe bet that if you are over 21 you should be good to go. This is why the common advice out there is to not use anabolic steroids unless you are over 21. So the short answer is, if you are over 21 and not growing anabolic steroids will have no effects on your penis size.

Just for discussion sake, if you were under 18 and still growing depending on the type of steroids you used you could either potentially make your penis larger or smaller. This can never be recommended however. There is some good evidence however that using creatine is safe for all ages and could shift your body to a more DHT laden anabolic state that would make a good environment biologically for growing a bigger penis.
Will steroids make my testicles shrink?

The short answer is yes, that most anabolic/androgenic steroids will cause temporary, key word here is temporary, testicle shrinkage as long as they are used in a safe and effective way. Basically, when a person uses steroids they are introducing a hormone from outside their body, at levels higher than their body could ever produce, and so the body signals itself to slow down making its own hormones because there is already plenty to go around. This leads to smaller testicles while “on” cycle.

Once you go off the steroids or prohormones normal hormone production within the body recovers and testicle size goes back to normal. Post Cycle Therapy can speed this recovery process along.

There are no scientific ways to induce lasting penis growth at this time without surgery

Sorry to say but there is no magic pill or machine that can make your penis grow larger than it already is if you are over 21 and done growing. Perhaps it’s time to focus on using what you have with excellence rather than trying to make it bigger.
