Starting anabolic steroids for bodybuilding is not recommended without very strong medical indication, as they can have significant side effects on multiple organs.
Steroids can affect:
* Hormonal balance (
testosterone suppression, infertility)
*
Liver function
* Heart (risk of hypertension, cardiac events)
* Mood and behavior changes
There is no “safe” recreational use, even under supervision, unless prescribed for a medical condition.
Next Steps
May consult an endocrinologist.
Health Tips
Many steroid users later require treatment for hormonal imbalance and sexual dysfunction, which can sometimes be long-term.
