What problems can using illegal anabolic steroids cause?
Anabolic steroids can cause serious side effects. Some of these effects can be permanent.
• In men, anabolic steroids can:
• Reduce sperm count.
• Shrink the testicles.
• Cause you not to be able to father children.
• Enlarge the breasts.
•In women, anabolic steroids can:
• Increase body hair.
• Make skin rough.
• Decrease breast size.
• Enlarge the clitoris.
• Deepen the voice.
•In both men and women, anabolic steroids can cause:
High blood pressure, heart attack, or stroke.
• Higher levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of good cholesterol (HDL).
• Liver disease and possibly liver cancer. The chance of these problems is higher when steroids are taken as a pill.
• Oily skin, acne, and male-pattern hair loss.
• Skin infections that can become severe if the drug was tainted with bacteria.
• Irritability, rage, aggression, violence, uncontrolled high energy (mania), false beliefs (delusions), and addiction.
Teens who take illegal anabolic steroids are at risk for the same problems as adults who use them. Also, bone growth in teens may stop before it is complete. The teen may not reach his or her full adult height.
The hardcore meatheads I've seen in Gold's Gyms and other free-weight centric gyms who've supplemented in this fashion have almost always had high-pitched voices--and their female counterparts had far deeper, tuba-like voices--per the illustration provided in your posting.
