Well there are two types, one that makes your muscles bigger and the other is if you have a very bad pain, it's used as medication for it.

Steroids have many side effects that can be very deadly. Not only are steroids bad for you but they can make your testicles shrink and affect your ability to have kids.

Steroids are essentially hormones. One common form of anabolic steroid is testosterone - this is produced naturally in the body in men and to a lesser extent in woman. Synthetic anabolic steroids are drugs intended to mimic the effects of testosterone.

Anabolic and corticosteroids may be prescribed by doctors for the treatment of some conditions.

However there is also an illicit consumption of anabolic steroids in humans which is usually done to increase lean muscle mass.

However there can be very significant adverse side effects from taking anabolic steroids:

  • Users have reported increased aggression, mood swings and even violent tendencies
  • Use by the young can stunt growth.
  • Regular use in men can cause erectile dysfunction, Gynecomastia (the development of enlarged breast tissue), sterility (the inability to father children) and shrinking of the testes
  • Use of steroids may also cause paranoia and trouble sleeping
  • More seriously the use of steroids over prolonged periods may cause liver damage and ultimately liver failure
  • They can increase your blood pressure putting you at increased risk of stroke or heart attack
  • They can also cause damage to your heart by enlarging the muscle wall

To sum up, you should only be taking steroids of any sort if you are prescribed them by a doctor. Is a small increase in muscle mass purely for the sake of vanity worth any of the risks outlined above?

For more information on steroids (in particular anabolic steroids) and their side effects please see the related link entitled Anabolic Steroids from the UK government drug education website "Talk to Frank". For information on the uses and potential side effects of corticosteroids please see the related link from the NHS Choices website.

For more detailed information on the pharmacology of steroids and anabolic steroids, please see the Wikipedia link.

They arent. Steroids are bad.

They give you a quick strength boost but after a while, your body breaks down and you become weak the rest of your life.

Or

They promote muscle growth with the added consequences of causing hormonal imbalances which causes side effects such as shrunken testicles, rage, and breast size fluctuation.
