If any of these signs begin to develop in the female user, she should discontinue the steroid use and reevaluate which items she is using. Obviously, women are more likely to suffer virilizing effects while using testosterones, Dianabol, Finajet, and other high androgens. It is felt the safest choices for women users include low dosages of Anavar, Winstrol and Primobolans. Occasionally, a woman who is suffering virilizing affects from steroid use may be able to arrest the symptoms by using an anti-androgen like Aldactone. This has proven effective in some cases.
Many male athletes suffer transient changes in the libido as they go on and off steroid cycles.
On many occasions, males go through a heightened sexual interest early in a steroid cycle accompanied by increased frequency and duration of erections. With prolonged use, this reaction rebounds, leaving the athlete with little capability of maintaining an erection if they so desired. This condition is reversible and can be avoided in many cases. The physiological factors which contribute to impotence include a decreased production of natural testosterone by the testes as the exogenous steroid short circuits the natural endocrine feedback system. Occasionally, an athlete who uses high dosages of only anabolic items can have such an imbalance between anabolic and androgenic hormones that the androgenic effects that control the ability to maintain an erection, become diluted.
