Women taking steroids for fitness to grow bean sprouts

First of all, let me be precise: what female fitness circles call "bean sprouts" after taking steroids is essentially excessive intake of exogenous anabolic steroids (AAS), which activates the androgen receptors in the clitoral tissue, causing abnormal proliferation. It is a clear adverse reaction of this type of drug. The probability of occurrence is directly linked to the dosage, cycle, and individual genetic sensitivity. Once the hyperplasia exceeds 3 mm, it is basically irreversible. Currently, there is no medication plan that can 100% avoid this side effect.

I have been in gyms in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai for almost 8 years, and I have dealt with more than 20 female athletes of all sizes who have taken drugs. Last year, I met a young girl born in the 2000s who had just been doing fitness for half a year. She hid in the locker room and cried, saying that her boyfriend thought she had something weird and asked me if there was any ointment that could shrink it. To be honest, when it got to that point, there was no other way except surgery.

In fact, there are huge differences in attitudes towards this matter within the industry. Many of the older generation of women’s bodybuilding athletes don’t take it seriously at all. I had a barbecue with a lady born in the 1960s who won the third place in the country. She took two sips of cold beer and said directly, "This thing is our military medal. It shows that the medicine is absorbed well and the muscles grow faster than others. Those who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the medicine and have no response are the ones who are really at a loss." Their group of old players would even talk about this in private gatherings. They thought that the size of the medicine represented whether you had worked hard enough to prepare for the competition, and they didn't think it was a problem at all.

But now young girls who play bikinis and women's bodybuilding don't do this at all. Most of them just live their youth, compete in competitions for two years to save some money for commercial performances, and then get married and have children in the future. Who wants to leave such a mark that will not sound good to others? Several young girls I know who were born in 1998 and 1999 dared to reduce the dosage to 1/10 of the normal dosage for men when taking medicine. They would rather run for 40 more minutes to do aerobics and starve for half a month longer when preparing for a competition, rather than take Trenbolone, the "miraculous muscle-building drug" that drug dealers boast of. Last month, there was a little girl who listened to the deceit of the "drug dealer mentor" in the group and added half a dose of Stanozolol. She felt a bulge just a week later. She was so frightened that she stopped all the medicine and went to an endocrinologist to adjust hormones for more than three months. Finally, the bulge did not continue. She was lucky that the bulge was not discovered early enough to be irreversible.

To put it bluntly, the principle of this matter is not complicated at all. Women's androgen levels are only 1/10 to 1/20 of men's, and there are a large number of androgen receptors on the clitoris. No matter how "mild" the steroid you inject is, Essentially, they are all androgen derivatives. Once they enter the body and bind to receptors, they will stimulate the development of the clitoris cavernosa. This is the same as the growth of penis in boys during adolescence. The greater the amount you use and the longer it takes, the bigger it will grow. This is what everyone calls "bean sprouts."

Don’t believe the drug dealers who say “you won’t grow long if you use an anti-oestrogen”. It’s purely IQ. Anti-estrogens control problems such as breakouts, menstrual cessation, and breast shrinkage caused by excessive conversion of androgens into estrogen. They cannot stop androgens from binding to the receptors on the clitoris. There are also claims that "there are no side effects when using plant steroids", which is even more nonsense. Either they are starch tablets with no active ingredients at all. If they can really help you grow muscles, they must have added something with androgenic activity, and the side effects will not disappear.

I have personally counted the 27 female bodybuilders I have come across who have used steroids. Only 3 of them actually developed hyperplasia that was so obvious that they could be seen wearing tight pants. Either they had taken the drugs for three or four years without any recovery treatment after stopping Cycle, or they had particularly sensitive androgen receptors in their own genes. Others were fine with half a dose, but she had a reaction with 1/4 of the dose. There is really no unified standard for this, and no one can guarantee you that "I will be fine if I use it."

In fact, after all, if you really make up your mind to pursue professional bodybuilding, you must carefully consider these side effects in advance. After all, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and it is impossible to want everything. But if you are an ordinary fitness enthusiast who wants to have a peach-shaped buttocks and look good in clothes, there is really no need to touch these things. Eat well and train well. The results will definitely be good in two or three years. You can't make fun of your health for the rest of your life, right?
