re: love lies bleeding... i could be wrong but isn't there a difference between the type of steroids jackie was taking and testosterone? i assumed the increasing violence was due to steroid psychosis.

There mostly isn't! The main difference between "juicing"/bodybuilding steroid use and TRT or HRT is mostly just dose and frequency it is being taken. The brands might be different between medical vs recreational use, and some people take compounds that include things like growth hormone or other stuff, but "Anabolic steroid" doesn't mean "bad and used for bodybuilding", it means "hormone that mimics androgens". Link for WebMD overview of anabolic steroids

This is one of the reasons why trans men face issues when wanting to compete in "natural" strength/bodybuilding sports (not to mention, of course, the exclusion of trans women). USA Powerlifting does not specifically ban trans men from competing in the male division, but it bans any and all TRT, with no medical exemption available to anyone, which is effectively the same as banning both trans and cis men with medical conditions that require them to be taking testosterone.

Testosterone replacement therapy's (TRT) goal is to maintain the body's testosterone within a defined medical range. Cis and trans people of all kinds can be prescribed TRT for various medical reasons (post-menopause, being trans, erectile dysfunction, etc). People who use steroids for bodybuilding are blowing right past that defined medical range -- an example is you may see a cis man on TRT with a dose of maybe 0.25mg/week on the low end with the "average" being around 100mg/week. The dose is raised and lowered to maintain the body's T levels within the healthy medical range/the individual's transition goals.

A man using T for a higher performance in strength/bodybuilding sports is likely to be on way, way higher doses, 200-400mg/week or more, and may be taking T in "cycles" specifically intended to promote muscle growth, versus being on it consistently. There are material health risks associated with these high doses but it's not inherently the substance they are using, it is just the dose.

A woman like Jackie is probably going to be on significantly LOWER dose, even for recreational bodybuilding, because women who engage in steroids for muscle growth are usually not looking for the other masculinization side effects of T, so will necessarily want to stay below the TRT levels typically used by both cis and trans men. I mean, this movie takes place in the 80's so they were probably not using modern medical science because it was the 80's, but the reality that a "juiced" woman would probably want to avoid the normal effects of the average T dose remains true because most women body builders regardless of time period are not looking to transition to a T dominant hormone system. link to reddit thread i found

Steroid psycosis does exist, and "roid range" is a known side effect of any kind of steroids -- including non-sex-hormone steroids like dexamethazone. Just go into a children's cancer ward and you will see that steroids will absolutely impact a person's emotional stability on like, a temporary basis. Go on any r/ftm forum and you will see some people having increased irritability as a result of their bodies adjusting to a different hormone system, with much rarer cases of significant emotional challenges. But my critique isn't necessarily to say that it is like, beyond the imagination/too unrealistic, because it's a horror movie and those are rarely realistic. Exaggeration is the name of the game there. Like I said in my original post, it's not that I hate the movie, I'm just THINKING about the movie and how this aspect of the plot landed badly, for me. In this day& age did we have to make the big tall muscle woman w high T also be a crazy violent killer. We exist in the context of all that came b--(im taken out by another sniper)

Anyway. I hope that answers your question now where is that large hook. I need to be dragged off stage immediately before I write another 1000 words on

[cruyffista]

i'm sure i'm not the only person to point this out but it's interesting how many of the reasons athletes are given to not take anabolic steroids are explicitly related to the perceived deviations/disruptions that these drugs may have on one's "sex" - ie anabolic steroids are bad because they make men less masculine, and women less feminine. therefore, doping is not only bad because it's a form of cheating, but because it collapses the sex-gender system which insists that males and females are distinct, immutable and prediscursive categories.

Hey! I just saw your account and I instantly became happy 🥹 Not many people write about Sam Sulek and I’m so thankful that you do ❤️

If you are taking requests can you do a fic that involves the reader ( female ) helping Sam relax after an intense workout, like giving him a bath or massaging him 🥰

( can be wholesome or 😏 upto you 😳)

YOU GOT ME THINKING THINGS…! (I apologize it’s only losely based on the prompt, I definitely took my own creative liberties on this one so there’s no relaxing here 😅)

SHOWER THOUGHTS (NSFW)

sam sulek x fem reader

summary : you are a bodybuilding influencer infamous in the community for hooking up with fellow bodybuilders before their untimely deaths. but you like that.

smut , shower s3x , protected s3x , light dom reader , bodybuilder reader , loss of virginity , inexperience , oral s3x , hook ups, reader is a fiend , drug use , oneshot , size difference , mentions of death , morbid fantasies , he’s loud ! , afab anatomy , v4ginal s3x , kissing , i love evil reader actually

It’s no secret Sam is on steroids.

He never outright said it but if you’ve ever seem him before.. it’s obvious. And nowadays, what bodybuilder isn’t on the juice?

This of course never bothered you because, well, it excited you. You got off to the rush of the shortened life span of steroid users, the knowledge that you would be the last fuck of their life because who else wanted them?

Most women aren’t attracted to ridiculously big guys anyway (and not the good kind of big). The last thing they would cherish before their untimely death was you and your charity towards them with their body.

it’s why you began this ‘arrangement’ with him. The two of you had a complicated relationship. Workout buddies by day and fuck buddies by night, basically. You knew what you were getting into when you got involved with a guy on steroids because he wasn’t the first and when he’s dead at 30 he definitely wont be the last.

The last guy you hooked up with was the stereo-typical-hypermasculine-bodybuilder influencer, both in looks and personality. Honestly, you only fucked with him because he supplied you with free anabolics, and while you weren’t a roidhead like the guy, you dabbled in a bit of testosterone because you wanted to get built up fast yourself since you were also a bodybuilder influencer.

When he ended up sick and dying a premature death, you set yourself on another bodybuilder.

With the reputation you built for hopping from one guy to another, (and the deaths that followed soon after) some happening to be well known with fanbases, you began to be regarded as a “curse.”

Any bodybuilder that messed around with you is bound to die when you break it off with them.

You were surprised when you caught wind of this when it eventually reached your ears by a joke “warning” you saw online. I didn’t bother you really. It was technically the truth, anyway, but you’d never admit it because it would scare away the game.

Fast forward, you discovered a seemingly overnight sensation when you opened social media one day.

“Sam Sulek, 21, Bodybuilder.”

He was young and already so huge. Normally you wouldn’t be interested in guys new to bodybuilding. They weren’t ripe and deep enough into enhancement drugs for death not to follow closely behind them.

But he was so, so huge for his age. And it was obvious he was using and using badly. Face massacred by acne, chest and shoulders red with it too. Unnaturally muscular and desiring to get only 30lbs heavier as his main goal, even though he was already so massive.

You were dripping through your tight, active shorts just thinking about it. He was ready, you just knew it.

The two of you met at a bodybuilding convention not long after. Most people recognizing you either wanted a picture with the infamous ‘curse,’ pointing with their friends and whispering that you were scouting for your next victim, or they were genuinely fans.

It wasn’t hard to find him. He was a massive hit among fans for his attitude towards fame and being so down to earth. And you had to admit, he was pretty attractive outside of his body.

You’d hoped he hadn’t heard about the “curse,” you were worried it may ruin your chances with him, and if he did he never mentioned it because only a day after the convention and an intense workout on his part, you invited him to the airbnb you were staying at in the area and he showed.

The chemistry sparked at the convention almost immediately and to your delight it continued to burn brightly at his place. Maybe he intended to collab with you and he thought it would be a good way to get his name out there, but you quickly made your own intentions clear.

And to your surprise he was receptive.

You moaned loudly as Sam went down on you, warm water spraying onto your body, obscuring the wet mess that wasn’t from the shower head between your thighs. His palms played with your hard nipples above him as he repositioned himself on his sore knees on the shower floor, but he didn’t complain.

He was hesitant at first about doing it in the shower because of the slipperiness, but you reassured him you’d make it worth it.

Obviously this was his first time because he was not a good eater. We can change that later. You stopped him after you faked an orgasm because you didn’t want to embarrass him. Normally with the previous guys you were with you didn’t give a shit about how they felt if they were trash at it, but Sam looked so eager to please.

He looked up at you with so much earnest. His wide and glossy nut-brown eyes and his pinky cheeks. It was cute, even. You couldn’t bring yourself to tell him was shit at head, at least not now.

You take your hand from his darkened, wet curls and beckon him up for the real treat. With your body pressed against the shower wall you let him have you the way he wanted.

Uncoordinated and weak as shit at first, but with your guidance, and his wrapped 3 inches you were screaming out in pleasure in no time.

“Oh.. oh!”

He re-paces himself slowly inside you, the stream of water working as an extra lubricate to your own. You rest your head onto the wall while he puts his head on your shoulder, sweet sounds exiting his mouth as well.

You pushed yourself backwards only drawing him deeper inside you desperately. Sensing that maybe his little peter wasn’t enough, he slithers his digits down your opening and begins to finger your clit, the enlarged size not seeming to phase him (thank tren).

With each thrust, the pain from his sore muscles increased but he couldn’t bring himself to stop.

He leans impossibly forward, pressing his massive body into yours and sandwiching you against the wall for his own pleasure, his cries becoming louder from his muscle aching along with the intense sensations.

Sensing his orgasm and your own, you captured his mouth with yours with a deep kiss, tasting faint traces of you on his tongue. You imagined his heart giving out while he struggled to tell you he’s close because you wont let him.

“M..mnh!” He attempts to get out until he can’t hold himself off any longer. He frees you from the wall and almost manages to get away before you pull him back in and have him empty himself inside you with a loud moan. You wish he had died then and there. The thought combined with this caused you to orgasm harshly, crying out alongside him.

You weren’t worried about the condom breaking anyway for obvious reasons.

Though extremely heavy breaths Sam looked dazed with pleasure, not even questioning what had just happened.

You shared one last kiss with him, well, shared is used loosely because you did all the kissing and while he tried to keep up before the water turned cold and the two of you promptly exited the shower.

The facts about Gender Dysphoria

Gender Dysphoria is a mental condition. It isn't a feeling, it's a mental condition. You don't just wake up and say, "I'm the opposite gender just because I wear what that gender wears. HAHAHAHA!"

According to the National Institute of Health or (NIH), Gender dysphoria (GD), according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5), is defined as a "marked incongruence between their experienced or expressed gender and the one they were assigned at birth."

It is unknown what causes Gender Dysphoria, some say it's assigned at birth, some say it comes from abuse, it is unknown what causes it. Many people go through therapy to get help and others will do a transition to the opposite gender and become a Transsexual, this is the CORRECT historical term and I will use it. This will help them look the opposite gender but they cannot change their DNA. When they die and their bones are dug up, they will still be male or female. Those are the only two genders that exist. You are a man or a woman, nothing else.

While children can experience gender dysphoria, it is recommended that they experience puberty before taking any medication or surgery. To make it simple, let them grow up into an adult.

Children CANNOT be trans, plain and simple.

Kids are stupid. They don't know what they want. A transgender kid is like a vegan cat. We know who is doing it.

Everyone at some point in time experiences being uncomfortable with their body. For girls, it can be big breasts or their periods. For boys, it can develop into muscle dysmorphia, A type of BDD that affects men and is characterized by an obsessive desire to have a more muscular body. Men with muscle dysmorphia may engage in dangerous behaviors to build muscle, such as excessive exercise, strict dieting, and abusing anabolic steroids. Muscle dysmorphia can lead to exercise addiction and eating disorders.

It is recommended that they go through counseling to help with these feelings or just go through puberty. Again, just let them grow up.

Girls can be tom boys without needing to be a boy. Boy can like girl things, dolls, dress-up, etc, without needing to be a girl.

Very often, kids feel a sexual attraction to the same gender and that is confused with Gender Dysphoria. NEVER confuse this with being trans. Kids can be gay, lesbian, or bisexual at a young age but not understand those feelings because they don't see these relationships on TV.

Keep in mind, only 7% of the US population is gay, lesbian, or bisexual. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, gender dysphoria prevalence accounts for 0.005–0.014% of the population for biological males and 0.002–0.003% for biological females. It's extremely low and you can't just trust what someone says. There are men who are taking the trans identity and using it to hurt women. You can't just call yourself trans without going through counseling because if you just trust someone's word, then you are going to hurt more people than help them.

The surgery isn't always needed. Not every person with Gender dysphoria grows up into a transexual adult. Any sane transsexual will tell you that. Blaire White, Buck Angel, Sara Higdon are all transsexuals on YouTube I recommend watching and they will tell you that many people regret the surgery because they weren't told the risks that they would have.

Below are videos of detransitioners giving their stories on the truth of transitioning. They are not traitors to the alphabet community, they aren't transphobic, they are people who were tricked by a doctor who cared more about money than the person's safety.

Buy Anastrozole

Considering buying anastrozole? This aromatase inhibitor is primarily used for treating estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Anastrozole effectively lowers estrogen levels, which is crucial for managing hormone-sensitive tumors. Additionally, it can help men with gynecomastia and is popular among bodybuilders for managing estrogenic side effects. Ensure safe purchasing by consulting with a healthcare provider and selecting reputable pharmacies. By understanding anastrozole's benefits and potential side effects, you can make informed decisions about your health.

Medical professionals were aware of at least one case of cancer thought to be linked to a hormonal medication taken to aid gender transitioning, leaked documents from a worldwide transgender nonprofit organization suggest.

In a report released on Monday, the think tank Environmental Progress published hundreds of messages it said were from an internal forum of members of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), in which they discussed gender-affirming treatment and the complications that had arisen from particular cases.

The report comes amid a national debate on gender-affirming health care, as states across the U.S. have introduced legislation to limit treatment for young people who identify as transgender.

Among the messages is one, dated February 24, 2022, in which a person—identified by the report as a doctor—said a colleague developed hepatocarcinomas, or liver tumors, after eight to 10 years of taking testosterone.

"To the best of my knowledge, it was linked to his hormonal treatment," the message said. "Unfortunately I don't have much more details since it was so advanced that he opted for palliative care and died a couple months after."

Newsweek could not independently verify the authenticity of the messages, which appear in the report as screenshots and printouts, and many have names redacted.

When approached for comment, a WPATH spokesperson did not confirm the veracity of the messages, but said it "stand[s] opposed to individuals who misrepresent and de-legitimize the diverse identities and complex needs of this population through scare tactics."

A potential link between testosterone—which regulates pubic development, and which biological males produce naturally more than females—and liver cancer has been noted before.

A 2020 paper published in The Lancet detailed one case in which a 17-year-old transgender man developed liver tumors after taking testosterone. The patient was advised to stop taking testosterone, and the study said the relationship between the hormone and the tumor growth was unknown.

Another study, published in October, found cases in which transgender individuals receiving hormone therapies developed liver tumors, but it said the results were "not sufficient to conclude that there is an association" between the two.

Gender-affirming hormone therapies have also been linked to other forms of cancer—though research has so far been inconclusive.

A 2019 study of transgender adults in Amsterdam found there was an "increased risk of breast cancer in trans women" who had received hormone therapy compared to biological men.

However, last year, another study in the U.S. found that while there were signs of cellular changes with some hormone treatments, testosterone "does not appear to increase risk for breast cancer" and "additional studies are needed to investigate the mechanism responsible for these changes at a cellular level and its role in cancer development."

The message referring to a case of liver cancer was seemingly in response to an earlier one, posted in December 2021, detailing an instance of a 16-year-old patient who had developed hepatic adenomas, benign liver lesions, after being on testosterone for a little over a year and a synthetic form of progesterone.

Hepatic adenomas are rare, but they are associated with oral contraceptive pills and are seen in patients treated with anabolic steroids, according to the National Library of Medicine.

In the messages, the WPATH members discussed academic papers, asked for advice on issues surrounding gender-affirming care and shared their professional experiences. Environmental Progress said the leaks showed members appeared to be improvising treatments and, in some cases, spoke out against safeguarding requirements.

Michael Shellenberger, the president and founder of Environmental Progress, said in a statement that the leaks show that WPATH members "know that the so-called 'gender-affirming care' they provide can result in life-long complications and sterility and that their patients do not understand the implications."

While proponents of gender-affirming care say that such treatments help overcome gender dysphoria—and that barriers to treatment can worsen the mental health of those who feel they are trapped in the wrong body—opponents say that a rise in young people exhibiting gender dysphoria may be in part a product of wider mental health issues that should be identified and addressed before changing a person's body.

Dr. Marci Bowers, president of WPATH, told Newsweek in a statement that it "is and has always been a science- and evidence-based organization whose recommendations are widely endorsed by major medical organizations around the world.

"We are the professionals who best know the medical needs of trans and gender diverse individuals—and stand opposed to individuals who misrepresent and de-legitimize the diverse identities and complex needs of this population through scare tactics."

Bowers added: "Gender, like genitalia, is represented by diversity. The small percentage of the population that is trans or gender diverse deserves healthcare and will never be a threat to the global gender binary."

Update 3/6/24, 4:10 a.m. ET: This article was updated to include comment from Marci Bowers of WPATH.

Dr. Sebi tells us when men eat a poor diet and consume toxic acidic mucus forming foods it causes them to have unhealthy dna damaged corrupted sperm resulting in genetically predisposed unhealthy offspring. Here are some of the important reasons why men should maintain a healthy fertility diet:

Encourage good sperm health: A healthy, nutrient rich diet will help to prevent sperm damage and promote sperm health. Zinc, Vitamin C, selenium, and many other nutrients can help to increase sperm mobility, motility, and health.

Protect and promote healthy DNA: Sperm is responsible for making half of the child, so it’s important to have healthy DNA. There are certain nutrition deficiencies and chemicals that could damage the DNA, whilst healthy foods with DNA protecting nutrients and antioxidants will aid in reversing the damage caused by smoking, alcohol, chemicals, and pesticides.

AVOID THESE 5 FOODS THAT WILL HURT MALE FERTILITY

1. Processed meats: Most men love meat, but eating meat could compromise your sperm quality. Studies show that men who consume a lot of processed meat, such as hamburgers, bacon, bologna, salami, and hot dogs, will have twenty-three percent less sperm than those who don’t.

2. Full fat dairy: If you drink whole dairy milk, you could have just a portion of the healthy sperm that you should have. Those who have at least two servings of the full-fat dairy such as whole milk and cheese daily—especially young males—have much less motile sperm.

3. High mercury fish: Both men and women can be affected by the mercury in some fish. This substance will damage the omega-3 in the body and lower fertility. Some of the fish with the highest mercury content include king mackerel, swordfish, shark, tuna steak, and tilefish. You should avoid seafood which is high in ocean pollutants, mercury, radioactive particles, micro plastics and parasites.

4. Caffeinated beverages and alcohol: Studies has shown that excess amounts of alcohol and coffee or energy drinks and tea can seriously lower sperm count to ultimately affect male fertility. If you are drinking alcohol on a regular basis and your diet is very poor this can lower your sperm quantity and quality to make conception even more difficult. This happens because copious amounts of alcoholic drinks can result in total body oxidative stress—a key cause of infertility in males. Alcohol will not have any effect on the quality of your semen, so if you are a drinker you should limit your intake to one or two drinks daily. When caffeine is present in drinks it can cause damage to your reproductive cells. If you can’t do without your favorite brew, you should limit your caffeine intake to two cups daily.

5. Soda: A study shows that regular drinking of sugar-sweetened drinks or beverages—a little more than one serving each day—is connected to poorer sperm motility. If you are drinking sugary beverages, including soda, sweet tea or sports drinks, your insulin resistance can increase and this will in turn result in oxidative stress than could damage your sperm.

Something else to avoid are junk foods which are not only harmful to the digestive system or heart, but to male fertility as well. These foods are full of fats and various other harmful nutrients. Your sperm cells are not able to grow when you eat junk foods, so it’s best to avoid them completely. Illicit drugs are also dangerous anti-nutrients which disturb fertility because they lower the sperm count. In addition to those, you should avoid anabolic steroids because they can shrink your testicles’ size and affect male fertility.

Overall, infertility is almost as much a man’s problem as a woman’s with around a third of the fertility issues linked to men.

The athletes were mere pawns of a system.

Heidi Krieger. The 1986 European women's shotput champion and victim of a systematic performance enhancing programme.

A lot has been said of the seemingly unbreakable women's 400 metre and 800 metre world records, which were set by athletes from behind the Iron Curtain some of whom like Heidi Krieger fessed up to being systematically fed anabolic steroids by East German officials from the age of 16.

And as early as age 18, Krieger began developing visibly male characteristics. Eventually, years of enforced doping with what coaches claimed were "vitamins" left the former shotputter with little choice but to undergo gender reassignment surgery because steroids had literally turned her into a man.

Heidi Krieger now Andreas after gender reassignment surgery in 1997.

Mind you, some East German athletes clearly were willing participants in the country's PEP, and even complained to their handlers whenever they didn't receive the latest in steroid enhancers.

Nevertheless given that the Stasi or the dreaded Ministry for State Security kept meticulous records on which East German athletes were taking steroids and which steroids they were taking, shows that this wasn't just a state sponsored programme, but that threats may have been held over the unwilling to keep them compliant with various performance enhancing programmes.

Jaundice occurs when there is an accumulation of bilirubin, a yellow compound produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. This condition is often a sign of liver dysfunction, and it can be triggered by a variety of factors, including certain medications and toxins. Understanding how medications or toxins contribute to jaundice is crucial for identifying at-risk patients and providing effective treatment. Urology treatment in Coimbatore, such as the services offered by Gem Hospital, can help manage the complications associated with jaundice caused by these substances.

Medications and Their Role in Jaundice

Some medications can cause jaundice by either directly damaging liver cells or by interfering with the normal metabolism of bilirubin. These medications can lead to drug-induced liver injury (DILI), which is one of the most common causes of jaundice.

Hepatotoxic Medications Certain medications are known to be hepatotoxic, meaning they can damage the liver and impair its ability to process bilirubin. Common examples include:

Acetaminophen (Paracetamol): When taken in excessive doses, acetaminophen can cause severe liver damage, leading to jaundice. This is particularly dangerous when taken with alcohol or other medications that strain the liver.

Antibiotics: Some antibiotics, such as amoxicillin-clavulanate, isoniazid, and rifampin, can cause liver inflammation, resulting in jaundice.

Statins: Medications used to lower cholesterol, such as statins, can also cause liver damage in some individuals, leading to jaundice.

Anti-seizure Medications: Drugs like phenytoin and valproic acid can cause liver toxicity, leading to jaundice.

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Long-term use of NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, can cause liver damage, especially in individuals with preexisting liver conditions.

Cholestatic Drugs Certain medications interfere with bile flow from the liver, leading to cholestasis—a condition where bile cannot be excreted properly. This can result in the accumulation of bilirubin in the bloodstream, leading to jaundice. Examples include:

Oral Contraceptives: Some women may develop jaundice as a result of hormonal contraceptive use, particularly if they have a history of liver issues.

Anabolic Steroids: The use of anabolic steroids can cause liver damage and bile flow obstruction, contributing to jaundice.

Toxins and Environmental Factors Leading to Jaundice

In addition to medications, exposure to certain toxins or environmental substances can damage the liver and lead to jaundice. These toxins can either cause direct liver injury or impair the liver’s ability to process bilirubin.

Alcohol Chronic alcohol consumption is one of the most common causes of liver disease, including cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis, and alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). These conditions can impair the liver’s function, leading to the accumulation of bilirubin and jaundice.

Herbal Supplements and Natural Remedies Some herbal supplements and natural remedies are known to be hepatotoxic. For instance, kava, comfrey, and black cohosh have been linked to liver damage and jaundice. While these remedies may seem harmless, they can cause significant liver damage, especially if taken in large quantities or over long periods.

Industrial Chemicals Exposure to certain industrial chemicals, such as tetrachloride, benzene, and solvents, can cause liver damage, leading to jaundice. This is more common in workers exposed to these substances over prolonged periods without adequate protective measures.

Toxins from Infections Certain viral infections, such as hepatitis B and C, and even bacteria or parasites (like schistosomiasis) can release toxins that damage the liver and cause jaundice. These infections can also interfere with normal liver function and contribute to the buildup of bilirubin.

Managing Jaundice Caused by Medications or Toxins

The treatment of jaundice caused by medications or toxins depends on the underlying cause. Early intervention and proper care are crucial to prevent further liver damage and manage jaundice effectively.

Discontinuing the Offending Medication or Toxin The first step in managing jaundice caused by medications or toxins is to stop the use of the substance causing liver damage. For example, if acetaminophen overdose is responsible for the liver injury, immediate treatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) may help prevent further damage.

Supportive Liver Care In many cases, liver damage from medications or toxins can be managed through supportive care, which may include hydration, pain management, and regular monitoring of liver function. In severe cases, liver transplantation may be required.

Specialized Urology Treatment for Complications When jaundice leads to complications affecting the kidneys, such as hepatorenal syndrome, urology treatment in Coimbatore at Gem Hospital can help manage these renal issues. Urologists at Gem Hospital work closely with liver specialists to ensure comprehensive care for patients with jaundice-related complications affecting both the liver and kidneys.

This reblog is a shout-out for people, especially but far from exclusively cis men, who struggle with BDD. If you use performance-enhancing drugs, PLEASE read this.

If not, feel free to skip, but you're MORE than welcome to read.

In Australia, T is listed as what's called a "Schedule 4D drug", which means it's a prescription drug that's recognised to be of widescale benefit to the community when correctly prescribed, but which has a history of being misused and taken recreationally without being necessarily addictive in the traditionally-understood sense of the term. There are some addictive drugs in there, such as benzos, but most 4D drugs are things like anabolic steroids, EPO, and other things commonly taken by athletes as performance-enhancing drugs.

Broadly speaking, this extra layer of special attention - where they're prescribed by doctors relatively easily but have a special category note that means a doctor who prescribes a LOT of them without clear reason would be flagged for audit - works pretty well to reduce rates of injury in athletes. Bodybuilders, runners etc often have a lot of dysmorphia around their appearance and anxiety around their performance. They are incentivised to get hold of drugs like T, EPO, and even stuff like follistatin to try to feed some need that cannot be sated by simple hard work or by any "natural method".

Testosterone is one of those drugs, and we see FAR more cis men who come in with symptoms of T abuse than we do trans men.

---

To be clear, though: performance-enhancing drugs kill people.

EPO thickens your blood so much that it can clog up inside your heart or lungs or brain, starving them of oxygen and causing a stroke or a heart attack.

Testosterone abuse can cause sterility, bone disease, and muscular hypertrophy which damages your heart and kills you slowly rather than all at once.

Insulin-like growth factors cause muscular hypertrophy, type 2 diabetes, acromegaly, kidney failure and cataracts due to the diabetes, and may even contribute to some forms of rare cancer.

Performance-enhancing drugs are renting your performance today from your lifespan tomorrow, and the interest rates are NEVER in your favour.

Leave testosterone for the trans men and the intersex kids and the menopausal women and the infertile hopeful-fathers. Please, if you are struggling with a need to be strong, or look good, or lose weight, or build muscle... please talk to someone.

There are psychologists and other support people who specialise in helping you through this time. It's a really, really worthwhile journey that will hopefully leave you happier, calmer, and without that nagging pain that tells you you're always going to be too small or too weak or too ugly.

We in this community really do understand you. You're in a thread mostly reblogged by trans people, and if there's ANYONE who would understand your pain... it's a trans person. Someone who has never once looked in a mirror without seeing something wrong, and who has spent their whole life feeling like nobody sees them how they should be seen.

So, take it from me when I say it does get better when you talk to someone. For trans people, it's different: transition, for us, helps us defeat that pain. For you... perhaps it will be a little more difficult, because the nature of BDD is that the more you change your body to match, the more it hurts you. I'm truly sorry about that. However, even trans people need to talk to therapists to accept certain things. Therapy can help accept our bodies as being the way that they are - for me, helping me accept that my shoulders and spine are Just Like That and nothing will fix it so I need to work on WHY it hurts, and for you... perhaps helping you accept that your muscles are absolutely okay as they are and that you're NOT weak just because you don't look exactly how you desire.

You are loved, and you are wanted, and we are here for you.
