Some advocates of anabolic steroid use report that testicular atrophy associated with use of trenbolone can be alleviated if users also inject themselves with human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone similar in structure and function to LH and FSH. Please explain how this treatment might work.

Answer:

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injections are much safer to use with some mild side effects to treat issues of testicular atrophy. Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injections would increase blood flow and enable the testes' produce testosterone, reduce the shrinkage of the testicles and it also aids in the production of sperm cells which has been initially impaired due to testicular atrophy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anabolic steroid is a drug that plays the role of testosterone.

Testicular atrophy is the shrinkage of the testicles caused by old age or infections. Once it occurs, it lowers the production of testosterone and sperm cells.

Trenbolone increases muscle building, aids lean fat deposition, reduces the production of testosterone, and could also lead to testicular atrophy.
