Sides Effects Of Using Steroids

Anabolic steroids can produce amazing results, but they carry some serious side effects. Let's take a look at what some of those side effects are.

Severe Acne
One of the least adverse side effects of anabolics, testosterone pills is acne. Acne can be severe and it can show on various parts of the body. Some of the most common areas include the face, shoulders, chest and back, but breakouts can occur on virtually any area of the body.

Infertility In Men
Men who abuse steroids could become infertile. It's hard to say how long a person would have to use steroids before experiencing this side effect. However, this is one of the well-known side effects of abusing steroids. If you want to have kids in the future, then it is a good idea to stay away from any kind of illegal steroid.

Baldness
Another common side effect is male pattern baldness. Just about all illegal steroids can cause men to go bald, as well as grow hair on other parts of their body. If you go bald due to using anabolics, the chances are you won't be able to reverse it.

Breast Development And Shrinkage
Perhaps the most common side effect is shrinkage of the testicles. Almost all steroids can lead to this unwanted side effect. Also, a lower sperm count may be experienced by those who take anabolics. Furthermore, many men experience breast development, or gyno as it is commonly called. The good news is these are not some of the most serious side effects and they can often be reversed, but sometimes men may need surgery in order to reduce the breasts they developed or to get rid of them completely. That's not always the case, but sometimes those are the options men have.

Other Side Effects
Perhaps the most serious side effect is death. Not everybody is at risk of dying when they take steroids, but there is always the chance that steroid abuse can lead to one's death. There may be other factors that play a role, but using steroids does put you at risk of dying, and you may die from complications related to steroids.

Furthermore, anabolic usage has been linked to various conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. It doesn't matter how old you are or how in shape you are, anabolics may lead to a heart attack or stroke.

What To Take Instead
As you know, illegal steroids cannot be purchased legally, and even if they could, you wouldn't want to. There are too many side effects associated with them, but there are alternatives to some of the most well-known anabolic steroids. These alternatives are completely legal and much safer to take than the real thing.

Your best bet is to avoid taking real steroids and use an alternative.
