Is Testosterone Safe To Take While Suffering From Pancreatitis?
Hello, my name is Dale and I m 28 years old 180 pounds and 6 2. My question today is about steroids. I would like to take a cycle of Testosterone for a couple of reasons, I would 1 like to gain size and 2 recover from a back injury for good that has been bugging me for 14 months now. My main concern is that I have Pancreatitis for the past 2 years now, my pancreas feels healed up pretty good now and I rarely have any pain now. I m wondering if taking a Testosterone cycle will effect my Pancreas in anyway ? I would just like to take a 6 week cycle with the lowest dose, if you could please help me out with some info that would be great Thank you very much. Dale M

It isn't commonly associated with it. Certainly all the sex steroids affect liver metabolism including production of triglycerides. If someone had pancreatitis due to sky high triglycerides, it is at least conceivable for this to be affected by testosterone.
Fundamentally it is a bit of a leap to automatically assume there will be a triggering of pancreaitis from testosterone. There isn't a direct connection.
