These are the facts you
need to know about
steroids
before you use these compounds. There are several misconceptions
surrounding these compounds, and let’s try to separate the myths from
the facts about steroids.
First
fact about steroids:
Steroids do not
cause psychological problems on its users. The term ‘roid
rage’ has been coined because steroid use is allegedly causing paranoia
and violent behavior on individuals. The fact that a study has been
conducted in 1996 which indicates that supraphysiologic doses of
steroids for 10 weeks do not exert any effects on the mood or behavior
on healthy male subjects, debunks the myth of roid rage.
Another misconception about
steroids
is that they are exclusively used by
athletes.
The obvious fact about steroids now is they are widely used by
different people involved in diverse fields – celebrities, models,
teenagers, and even members of the military and law enforcement.
Individuals who use steroids are those who want to have a good body or
those who want to enhance their strength.
There is also this much-circulated misconception about steroids making
the penis smaller. The
fact
is that steroids can make the testicles shrink but not the penis.
This is because when
steroids
are introduced in the body, the testicles stop their production of
testosterone thereby
decreasing their size due to disuse.
