<s>[INST] Hi- I received a testosterone pellet at the beginning of this past Feb and have gained 10lbs since! Is this normal, will it go away, what can I do? I was under the impression I would gain lean muscle and lose weight? Does this take a few rounds to normalize? I am a female. [/INST] Hello dear,Thank you for your contact to health care magic.I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.No, it won't go a way with its own.The increase in weight is because of the increase muscle mass caused due to testosterone.When you take the steroid it causes anabolic effect on the body. This causes more protein storage in the body. This causes resultant increase in muscle mass.Until you take the steroid your muscle mass increases. Once you withdraw it, it will gradually decreases thereafter.If you are not professional body builder than I advice you should not take such steroid it can cause harm to us in long ago period.Instead you can maintain good body structure rather than increase muscle mass.This will help you maintain good health in future.I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.Thank you,Dr Arun TankInfectious diseases specialist,HCM. </s>
