In recent years, hundreds of young people have flooded sections and clubs of shaping and athletic gymnastics. Wanting to quickly have the same figure as the famous athletes, some begin to take steroids, the consequences of which can be disastrous.
Many people think: why do they need long months of hard training, adherence to the regime, expectation of slow progress, if magic ampoules and pills are at hand that will help to get the expected result in the shortest time. The most dangerous and common drugs are anabolic steroids.
The chemical formula of these compounds is very similar in composition to the male sex hormone testosterone, which is produced by the human sex glands. It is known that in a person taking steroids, the consequences are manifested in the form of muscle growth across, which is due to accelerated absorption of proteins and water retention in muscle tissue. But in addition to the stimulating effect, any anabolics have an active hormonal effect on the body.
Of course, adverse side effects from steroids are not immediately apparent. Perhaps from a dozen tablets irreversible changes in the body will not occur. But it is not for nothing that unsafe steroids are called sports drugs. The thing is that having achieved an increase in muscle mass as a result of doping, a person cannot ensure its safety in harmless ways.
And in order to maintain muscle in this state, more and more new infusions of steroid drugs are required. There is a peculiar dependence of a person on taking anabolics. According to some bodybuilders, they, in order to be normal, subsequently required several daily doses for one dose. It is against the background of the fact that a person in large quantities takes steroids for a long time, the consequences are manifested in the form of severe and formidable complications, which pose a huge danger to health.
You should not listen to friends who do not understand medicine and believe that since they have been swallowing tablets for a long time, and if bad consequences do not happen, then nothing will happen. Reckoning for rash acts will definitely come. The most serious changes will begin manifestation from the genital area. In men, at the beginning there is a certain increase in potency, which is replaced by a prolonged decrease in potency, until the onset of complete impotence. In girls, menstrual irregularities occur, coarsening of the voice, an increase in hairline, pregnancy often ends in a miscarriage, and childbirth begins prematurely and is difficult.
Also sad for those who take steroids, the consequences are manifested in the fact that the liver is seriously affected. A violation of the functions of its cells occurs and the synthesis of various substances necessary for the body changes. The kidney function is also damaged.
Long-term use of anabolic drugs causes the onset of psychosis, unmotivated reactions, increased aggressive behavior. The character of a person can change beyond recognition.
Side effects of steroids are furunculosis, numerous acne, the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands is disturbed , as a result of which the skin becomes a greyish-greasy hue.
Despite the fact that anabolics stimulate the growth of muscle mass, its hypertrophy, while they do not have any effect on the ligaments. As a result, tendons and ligaments rupture, muscle tearing and other injuries.
There is also a risk of contracting AIDS and other diseases as a result of using one injection syringe in the company of novice bodybuilders.
Today, there are various non-steroidal anabolics that are supposedly harmless. But still, it is worth abandoning various drugs and not risk your health and the future of your children, but to achieve beauty of the body with perseverance and hard training.
