THE EFFECTS OF MEDICATION FOR ONE YEAR Copyright 1994 Blackwell Scientific Publications KEYWORDS voice virilization • anabolic steroids • nandrolone decanoate ABSTRACTIn a prospective study the effects on the voice of nandrolone decanoate super-imposed on cyclical hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) given to post-menopausal women suffering from a severe form osteoporosis were compared with the effects of HRT alone. Comparing the experimental group with the control group, after one year of medication in the experimental group a higher percentage of patients had: a lower fundamental frequency during speech, a loss of high frequencies and an increase in voice instability and creakiness. The lowering of the frequnencies and the increase of instability can be explained by histological changes in the vocal cords and by problems in the adaptation to these histological changes.
