Need some good advice please
« on: November 13, 2010, 02:32:07 AM »
Hi, i am 21, bodyweigth about 275 and bf about 15%
arms 20,4 inch ( not pumped )
been training about 3-4 years
The thing is that i had cancer (testicular cancer) and one testicle actually was removed, it didnt made much difference becos the remaining testicle works twice as hard and produces same amount of hormones as two would.
But in the future someday i am going to start on useing steroids and well i never talked about that with my doctor cos, well dont think that any doctor would approve steroids, so anyway i thought i would ask you guys that what to you think, is it ok for me to use them in future. I mean since the remaining testicle does same amount of work as two would so that nothing hasen't really changed in my body. The only thing i worry about is that when on test e cycle i have read that testicles shrink, since they don't produce testosteron anymore till the end of cycle. But y ou know since in medical terms :P one testicle is as good as haveing two, then it shouldnt be a problem right ? Bodybuilding is something that i feel is my true calling, and if you would see my picture then you would understand that i got the genes for it :D But still i think i just need some sort of advice about it. And maybe someone could tell me if there are any side effects when testicles shrink and dont produce testosteron.

ps. i didnt add all the cycle stuff here, what i would use, post cycle, and so on, since i am not planing on useing steroids now. ( in future)

This is a tough one.

You're right, once you come off, normally your body starts producing test on its own again, of course in your case your body is having to work twice as hard to do so. Can it keep that up for the long haul? I don't know, I would think so but I don't have a good answer. I would definitely find a good endocrinologist to talk to about your situation before I made a decision.

I don't think its such a great idea with only one testicle but I very well could be wrong

Yeah i will definately talk with a doctor about this. It's just that i dont think that an y doctor would approve steroids :P But we will see.
But you know i am planing on doing just test e 500mg w week cycle, people are doing much much more hardcore cycles and their bodies recover, so i kinda hope mine can handle it. I think the difference is that i might just have to get my blood work done quite often, to see how hormones are recovering.

There are tons of doctors that have no problem with steroids...the story we hear about all doctors saying steroids are bad is an outright lie...how else would tons of bodybuilders be getting scripts? If steroids were naturally bad, why would the AMA, FDA, DOH and DEA all be opposed to them being illegal without a prescription?

My advice, don't simply go to a general practitioner, find a good hormone specialist, i.e. an endocrinologist.

Maybe he is legit, who knows. Most people have no idea what 15% bodyfat actually looks like or 4% or 30% or any %%% in between. Either way it doesn't really matter, his question about his situation is still valid.

I actually measured mine ;) some small machine that you crab with y our both hands and hold it in front of you and i did it about 3 weeks ago and i dont feel that i have gone much fatter :P

anyway i did made an appointment to endocrinologist, will see what i head there
But i also send an letter to an andrologist (male doctor) who i first went to see when i would something wierd in my testicle and he also deals with hormones and he said something that " if its something you want to do then go for it but i think that your body could be in a little bit of higher risk so be careful"

Anyway thanks Arnold jr would the advice to see a specialist, will see what i hear from there,
