FLAME ME! (But also please serious advice)

[Dzoolander]

Hi guys,

Quick description of my situation, hoping to get some honest feedback from guys that know more than me.

When I was 17 I made the mistake of doing a 4 week cycle of OTC AAS orals and was then robbed of doing PCT when my dad found the bottle and tossed it out about 1 week into PCT.

My only side really was that my left teste was then smaller/softer than my right and also super achey all the time. To this day it has not completely recovered - still pretty lopsided and getting the ache on/off 7 years later.

Libido, erections and everything else came back full strength (besides the left teste shrinkage and pain) with no issues at all for the last 6-7 years. Never did another cycle of anything else since.

So here's the deal. I'm turning 25 next month and Lately, for the past 2-3 months, the teste ache has been really flaring up (like how it was immediately post cycle) and also I've had zero libido coupled with erectile dysfunction. Am I falling apart all of a sudden now because I'm nearing the end of hormonal puberty? Is that how it works?

I know it's bad to have done AAS at a young age - trust me I regret it. And furthermore not doing PCT to normalize my levels was a very unfortunate occurrence. But for the longest time it seemed like I made a full recovery. Now all of a sudden I'm relapsing? Is this possible? Or has anyone on here dealt with anything similar? Anything I can do now 8 years later to help me out? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks boys

damn dude go see a doctor immediately

Yeah just chop your nuts off. No more worries

What do you mean by OTC AAS?

You'd have the worlds worste luck if you got those symptoms from a 4 week cycle. Chances are they may be unrelated.

As Gibson said. See a doctor.

Yeah go see your doc. Tell him/her you used OTC prohormones which is now banned. Get your total test measured.

Defintely going to see Endo asap but what do you some of you veterans think? Could 1 short cycle like that really have ****ed me up that bad and such delayed effects?

Secondly, would the be damage irreversible?

Asap as in 8 years later?

You are mental. That is what's wrong with you.

2. Go to the fuking doctor like you should have years ago.

I was a 17 year old shit head with no idea about steroids, pct, hormones or endocrinology. Other kids in my town same age were doing it so I jumped on the bandwagon. In the months after the cycle, when I was having the teste ache, I went to straight to my PCP and confessed everything. He said not to worry about it and I'd be fine, just to give it some time. Not long after that I was pretty much back to normal and so thought to myself "ok I'm good. never doing that again". It wasn't until recently, when I began feeling these telltale symptoms of low test, did I begin to research and realize how horrible what I had done to my young body was. I'm going to the endo next week (first time) and will tell he/she the entire story. But yes, I am freaking out a bit in the mean time. Which is why I was hoping to get a little peace of mind from some of you who tell me I should be okay...starting to regret posting. Now I just feel more hopeless. Will I need TRT/HRT for the rest of my life?

 

[Gibsonator]

chill out, see the doc, run some tests and report back soldier

Will definitely do. Can I ask...if I do have low testosterone results (and I think I will), at 25 years old am I way past the point of restoring my natural production and will likely need TRT for the rest of my life? Like I said, I didn't take PCT due to an unfortunate circumstance where my pop found and tossed the bottle. Was that a nail in my coffin?

achey balls aren't a symptom of low t. You haven't mentioned any symptoms and have, in fact, said your libido has zero issues. Now you are starting to really look like a troll.....

Yes. You are ****ed. You will need daily visits to the hospital for injections and constant blood tests for the rest of your life. Your dick will stop working and you will become a gay.

Sorry brotha. Truly don't mean to troll. Symptoms include (as of the last couple months):
-zero sexual desire
-weak erections
-shallow loads and watery clear spum
-no appetite at all and as a result dropping weight
-feeling unmotivated and lazy

You may have low t.
You may need trt.
It may or may not have anything to do with running that cycle.
You should get a semen analysis done to check for sperm.
You could be inferitle.
It happens.

What's a clogged duct? Would it persist for several years? And coincidentally onsetting immediately right after my cycle?

I don't think anything you're dealing with is related to 4 weeks of prohormones 8 years ago...
