Hey doc. I have hpv. I got rid of genital warts about a year ago. I recently started using anabolic steroids(testosterone enanthate) and two weeks into it the genital warts came back in increased number. I read online about similar cases. Could you explain why?
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. It is true that having wart and steroid use has correlation. When you start using the steroids they cause immunosuppression, it is the favorable condition for the HPV virus to grow and to cause warts. I suggest you can o stop such anabolic steroid until you are all free from the warts. Once you are clear from the infection you can start with the steroids. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
