Some athletes, especially teenagers in high school, think of using steroids to help improve their strength and their game but do you think they know what risks they are taking?
Steroid users can suffer from liver tumors and cancer, jaundice, high blood pressure and increases in cholesterol levels, kidney tumors, fluid retention, and severe acne. Women can experience growth of facial hair, a male-pattern baldness, changes or cessation in menstrual cycle, and deepening he voice. With men they can experience shrinking of the testicles, reduced sperm count, infertility, baldness, breast development, and increased risk of prostate cancer.
If your young and still growing you can put yourself at risk for prematurely halting your growth because of "early skeletal maturation and acceleration of puberty."
