March 26, 2009 Many young people take anabolizant steroids to obtain a fast increase of their muscular mass, but is this the best choice? Even if the desired results show up, they might last for a short period, and the side effects are a matter of concern.
Some of the substances used for doping are analgesics, narcotics, androgen anabolizant steroids, corticosteroids, substances that stimulate the central nervous system, diuretics, or peptide hormones. However, the androgen anabolizant steroids raise the greatest interest in the market.
Androgen steroids have some negative effects on men and women who use them for muscular mass increase. Anabolizant steroids may produce long-term side effects for different organs or sometimes even lead to behavioral changes for those who use them.
For men, steroids produce steroidal acne, hair loss, dilatation of eye balls, water retention (hypodermic or intramuscular), and the genital organs may become atrophied.
Women are also affected by steroids intake. They can notice side effects such as thickened voice, breast atrophy, steroidal acne, body hair excess, or body size changes.
The people who use anabolizant steroids present a higher risk for stroke, high blood pressure, or a high level of cholesterol. The liver may be totally ruined by steroids, hepatic tumors may show up, or even hepatitis. Steroids may also cause bone pains or joint pains.
The most frequent diseases related to anabolizant steroids consumption are: prostate cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and kidney or liver diseases. Psychically, the person who is a regular steroids consumer may become aggressive, hostile, and irascible. The sportsperson may be unsatisfied with his or her physical condition, no matter how good it is.
