Healio (6/3, Rollet ) reports, “In the first year after stopping anabolic steroid misuse, men had worse sexual function than those who continued using or never used the agents as well as more depression and anxiety, according to a presenter at ENDO 2024.” In a study, “men who had stopped using steroids had lower sexual function scores (IIEF-15 = 70; 95% CI, 67-71) compared with current users (IIEF-15 = 64; 95% CI, 60-67) and past users (IIEF-15 = 64; 95% CI, 60-67; P = .0009).” Additionally, “recent steroid cessation was associated with higher depression scores (BDI-II = 7; 95% CI, 4-11) compared with no past steroid use (BDI-II = 3; 95% CI, 1-6; P = .0079).”
