    Glossary Androgenic Side Effects

    involve physical changes due to male hormones like testosterone

    Androgenic side effects refer to the physical changes and symptoms that occur due to the influence of androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. These effects can include increased body hair, acne, deepening of the voice, and in some cases, hair loss (androgenic alopecia). These side effects are often seen with the use of anabolic steroids or other medications that affect hormone levels.
