It is synonymous that steroids are some of the most popular drugs in the market today and that their use is growing by the day across all nations of the world. What is surprising however is that the popularity of steroids is masked by misinformation and ignorant myths. Even users themselves are often misinformed about steroids. This article is a brief synopsis of some basic facts about steroids.
Steroids present in the market fall under two general categories, oral and injectable steroids. The most common oral steroids include Winstrol for Sale, Anavar for Sale, Anadrol for Sale and Dianabol for Sale, while the most common injectable steroids include Deca for Sale, Equipoise for Sale, Testosterone Enanthate for Sale and NPP for Sale. The major motivation driving use of steroids is to amplify performance in competitive sports especially in athletics and body building. Body builders depend on steroids to enable intense workout programs and speed recovery.
Steroids can be used as injections, oral pills, nasal sprays or even patches. When side effects are analyzed, oral steroids have more negative consequences after continued use mainly because of their interruption of normal liver functions. The use of anabolic steroids has in general been associated with a lot of negative side effects.
To begin with, they alter normal hormonal levels and can easily cause infertility, shrinking of testicles and development of abnormal breasts in men. In women, they cause enlargement of the clitoris, excessive hair and a deep voice. Research findings have also established that steroids stunt the growth of musculoskeletal systems especially as a result of raised testosterone levels as well as other sex hormones. Ideally, when hormones exceed certain levels they hinder further growth of bones. The most lethal side effects resulting from anabolic steroids use are placed squarely on the human cardiovascular system.
It results to heart attacks, abnormal heart enlargement especially on the left ventricle, frequent blood clots within blood vessels, disruption of blood flow and damage of heart muscles that hinders blood pumping. Further, continuous use of steroids use almost always triggers heart disease because they affect cholesterol levels in the body by amplifying accumulation of cholesterol until it clogs up the arteries. The human liver is also not spared by steroids because clinical research has found out that steroids cause acute liver tumors. The tumors trigger injurious internal bleeding.
Jaundice frequently develops in the liver with symptoms similar to flu. Most of these complications however are more serious in high steroid dosages, if abusers go straight to high dosages when they start out. In such instances steroids end up causing cancer and peliosis hepatic, both marked by acne, cysts, messy and oily hair and a foray of skin diseases. At this age of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, steroids are even more dangerous because their use does cause infections resulting from sharing needles.
Irrefutable research findings on the users of anabolic steroids confirm that steroids abuse alters a person’s general behavior causing high irritability and aggression. The aggression frequently prompts users to commit violent armed robbery, rely on force to get anything including sex, and involve physical fighting with the closest friends, family or relatives. Indeed, steroids do cause behavioral changes such as euphoria, amplified body strength, high sexual drive and easy arousal, variant mood swings, absent mindedness, acute forgetfulness and perpetual confusion.
If it is a must to buy steroids, they should be started on small doses that increase weekly and then decreases after a while. This is considered a safe method than starting out with large doses.
