 Hi Marcus0151,
Anabolic steroids cause testicular atrophy (shrinking) by suppressing the brain's release of FSH and LH, the two hormones that stimulate the testes. Generally, this effect will reverse after the steroids have been stopped.
If the exposure was for a long time the effect may not be completely reversible. You may want to see a urologist to discuss this. I do not know if using HCG would help this.
Best wishes.
