Anabolic Steroid Abuse

Would you like to know what lab results mean? DDxHub - Differential Diagnosis Hub helps to understand and explains your blood test.

Anabolic steroids are used illegally to increase muscle, decrease fat, and enhance athletic performance and body appearance. Anabolic steroids act by increasing the androgenic testosterone effects within the body. Anabolic steroids can lead to potentially fatal side effects. Anabolic steroids may be addictive, and users may go through withdrawal. Prevention requires community education, as well as reviewing why adolescents may want to start using the drugs and understanding the risks involved.
