I was just reading about steroid abuse for a class in school and the side effects are pretty sick.
for men: testicle shrinkage, low sperm count, infertility, baldness, losing the senses, breast development. For women: increased facial hair, changed or ceased menstrual cycle, increase clitoris size, deeper voice teens: faster puberty, Both sexes: severe acne, hair loss, epilepsy, skin pigment changes, severe mood swings. so BE CAREFUL

I can't say that I have had any of those affects, but I have tried steroids before and they didn't do crap for me so I stopped.

Hey,
Steroids should be taken only for medical therapeutic reasons! Don't even think of it otherwise. It is a double edged sword. Googlue! |

Those are only after prolonged usage. Not just general use ie once maybe a year.

It's not true .. it depends on which type of steroids you are using QUOTE Steroids should be taken only for medical therapeutic reasons! Steroids should be used if and only if there is no other effective treatment option available .. this is due to the serious steriods side effects. Some doctors may give you steriods all the time for a treatment ... this is because the doctors wanted to earn more with steroids. Doctors don't usually use steroids for themselves. So next time if a doctor wants to give you a steroid treatment, ask him for other treatment option. I'm a phamacy undergraduate and my advice is that to prevent steroids whenever possible. There are still a lot of unknown side effects for steroids. |

QUOTE(ashiezai @ Nov 16 2004, 05:55 PM) It's not true .. it depends on which type of steroids you are using Um actually it is. All steroids that have been tested for the human body do not have serious affects unless prolonged use. If the usage of hormones or steroids not meant for the human body are used, then of course they will have abnormal affects. |
