Discussions - The Lawful and Illicit Uses of Anabolic Steroids As Well As Side Effects

There should be no wondering why anabolic steroids are designated as controlled substances and illegal drugs. The many serious side effects of these steroids are legendary among those involved with sports in any serious way.

It is almost inconceivable that by simply taking a drug a person could augment their build, their power and even their fortitude. The enhancement that a steroid user has is underhanded when the opponent chooses to be straight. Using steroids has a most negative impact on you physically and emotionally, which most user is unaware of until it's too late. Now we'll speculate on the unfortunate reactions caused from anabolic steroids.

The testicles will likely decrease in size when using the drug. Keep in mind that anabolic steroids accelerate the manufacture of testosterone.

Viably speaking, this will cause your body to adversely relax in the manufacture of hormones. When that occurs, then the testicles will begin to shrink in size because they are not being used as intended. Fortunately once the user refrains from use, the health of the testicle will return. Over time the testicles will get back to their normal size.

Using steroids also leads to deformed gonads and severe sexual dysfunction. Difficult or painful urination can also manifest as a symptom. That may indicate an underlying issue with the kidneys since steroids are known to cause kidney damage. Steroid use in women causes a strange hormone imbalance in which women can start growing facial hair or experience a deepening of their voice. Obviously, women who use steroids tend to become more masculine overall.

There is an actual term to describe the behavioral side effects of anabolic steroids, and that term is roid rage. It should be noted that excessive quantities of testosterone are created and circulating through that person's body. Seemingly insane and psychotic behavioral side effects have been documented, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. There have been cases where roid rage was the cause of injuries and even deaths of family members and friends of the abuser. Other people also must deal with the side effects of anabolic steroids not simply the user.

There is definitely a line that is crossed when a person decides to begin using anabolic steroids. There are other derivatives of this steroid, and each one carries its own set of risk factors and side effects. But overall the effects are to greatly increase the risks of developing possibly fatal medical conditions. Obsessive use of steroids can result in medical issues, such as malignant tumors and cancer of some organs and possible organ failure. The general population may not be able to relate to the sportsman feeling the need to use steroids in order to achieve success.
