The Health Risks Associated With The Use Of
Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids are classed as illegal drugs
and are banned by most legitimate sports organizations.
There can be no disputing the fact that testosterone
boosts the development of muscle mass and aids
sporting performance. Equally there is no doubt
that its use can adversely affect the health and
wellbeing of users.
The androgenic properties of testosterone can
affect the body in many ways but often users see
these as inconveniences that can be treated by
using other drugs. The most common side effects
of testosterone supplementation include the following:
1. Testicle shrinkage - the body responds to testosterone
overload by reducing its own production of the
hormone. This causes the testicles to shrink due
to lack of use. When steroid usage stops, the
testicles will grow again but they could take
at least six months to return to normal size.
2. Addiction - despite some users trying to convince
themselves otherwise, the use of steroids can
result in physical and psychological addiction.
Withdrawal symptoms can be severe with muscle
shrinkage, weakness and loss of libido.
3. Growth of breast tissue - this affects roughly
one third of male steroid users. It is caused
by the conversion of some excess testosterone
into the female hormone estrogen. The breasts
usually disappear when use of steroids ceases
but in some cases they are permanent and may require
surgical removal.
4. Baldness and skin conditions - excess testosterone
can be converted into DHT, a hair unfriendly by-product
that is responsible for male pattern baldness
and oily skin.
5. Pain, bruising, infection and scarring may
result from careless or incompetent injecting.
Some people have died as a result of steroid abuse
and even those who adopt a careful, pragmatic
approach have to accept that these health risks
are unavoidable. My advice is, follow the natural
route and use nutritional supplements to boost
the anabolic process.
