Remember the scene in
Spiderman when Uncle Ben said, "With great power comes great
responsibility"? Apparently, that is not only applicable to Spidey
himself but is also true in the world of androgenic anabolic
steroids. Take the
popular steroid
Dianabol,
for example.
Dianabol
is a very effective bulking agent that can produce effects immediately
during a cycle. This is
Dianabol's
"great power". Unfortunately, there are also several
Dianabol
side effects mainly due to its androgenicity and
estrogenicity. This is where the "great responsibility" part comes in
and you play a significant role in it.
One of the most common
Dianabol
side effects is from the fact that it is a strong
androgen. This means that it can cause acne formation, male pattern
baldness, changes temper and also insomnia in both males and females.
Acne can easily be controlled by applying Accutane while the
Dianabol
side effect of hair loss can be treated with hair growth
stimulants such as Minoxidil. The temper flares and aggression are less
likely to be controlled though and therefore, the drug should be taken
with caution. A famous
Dianabol
side effect in females is its ability to cause significant
virilization. Females normally don't have androgens in their bodies or
at least not as much as men do. The introduction of androgens can
trigger the development of male characteristics such as a deep voice
and an increase in body hair.
Dianabol
side effects can also lead to problems with reproduction due to
menstrual abnormalities and clitoral hypertrophy. The use of
Dianabol,
therefore, is not advisable for women especially since virilization is
a permanent
Dianabol
side effect even when you have stopped the use of this
steroid. Dianabol also effectively suppresses normal testosterone
production by exhibiting a negative feedback on the
HPTA. The
Dianabol side effect
of lowered
testosterone
levels can lead to potential impotency and complete shut down of the
endogenous
testosterone
production in males.
As mentioned, another
Dianabol
side effect is caused by its ability to interact with the aromatase
enzyme and convert to the female hormone estrogen. Estrogen can
increase fluid retention in the body and can also increase fat storage.
The
Dianabol side effect
of fluid retention can cause muscles to look flabby and smooth, and it
can also increase potential risks of developing cardiac overload
diseases such as hypertension and palpitations. On the other hand, the
intake of the steroid at high doses can cause a
Dianabol side effect
of atherosclerosis and increase in free body fat. This can be
controlled with a good diet although that diet can be hard to maintain
since
Dianabol
also increases your appetite indirectly.
A dangerous
Dianabol
side effect is its potential liver damage.
Dianabol
is a 17-alpha alkylated compound and this means that it can cause liver
stress once it has been metabolized by the organ. Liver damage can
occur when
taking
Dianabol at high doses and at prolonged periods of time.
In order to prevent this
Dianabol
side effect, users often limit the use of this steroid to 4 weeks and
this had proven to be enough for gains to take place.
While
Dianabol side
effects are quite many, there are effective ways of
addressing some of them when you know how to. Gynecomastia, for
example, can be permanent but can be avoided by taking
Arimidex
or other aromatase inhibitor when you first notice symptoms of breast
formation. It is best to know the different
Dianabol side effects
before hand in order to know how to prevent or address them when the
time comes.
