Answer 1

The most common side effects are elevated blood pressure especially in hypertensives,[12] Increases in cholesterol levels due to the fact that some steroids can cause an increase in LDL and decreased HDL levels.[13] This drug can also cause an increase in risk of cardiovascular disease[14] or coronary artery disease[15] in men with high risk of bad cholesterol. Acne is fairly common among anabolic steroid users, mostly due to the increases in testosterone which can cause stimulation of the sebaceous gland.[16][17] Testosterones conversion to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) can accelerate the rate of premature baldness for who are genetically predisposed. Other side effects can include altered left ventricle Morphology; Steroids can induce an unfavorable enlargement and thickening of the left ventricle, which loses its diastolic properties with the mass increase.[18] However the negative relation of left ventricle morphology to decreased cardiac function has been disputed.[19] Also hepatotoxicity which can be caused by particularly by high doses of oral anabolic steroid compounds that are 17-alpha-alkylated to increase their bioavailability and stability in the digestive system.[20]


There are also side effects that are particular to sex and can include development of breast tissue in males, a condition called gynecomastia. This is usually caused by high levels of circulating estrogen; the result of the increased conversion of testosterone to estrogen via an aromatase enzyme.[21] Reduced sexual function and temporary infertility can also occur in males.[22][23][24] Another male specific side effect which can occur is testicular atrophy which is a temporary side effect that is due to decreases in natural testosterone levels inhibiting spermatogenesis. As most of the mass of the testes is developing sperm, the size of the testicles usually returns to normal within a few weeks of discontinuing anabolic steroid use when spermatogenesis resumes.[25] Female specific side effects that can occur include increases in body hair, deepening of the voice, enlarged clitoris (clitoral hypertrophy), as well as temporary decreases in menstrual cycles. A number of severe side effects can occur if adolescents use anabolic steroids which include but are not limited to stunted growth; Abuse of the agents may prematurely stop the lengthening of bones (premature epiphyseal fusion through increased levels of estrogen metabolites), accelerated bone maturation, increased frequency and duration of erections, precocious sexual development and development of extreme secondary sexual characteristics (hypervirilization), Phallic enlargement (hypergonadism or megalophallus) as well as increases in body hair.

I sweat on the course like a horse - I change clothes at the turn and where I play it's like Southern Hills. I go through 5 gloves a round and still look like I got pushed in the river at the end of 18. My feet squish when I walk down the 18th. I don't know if steroids are really used. And I'm not arguing with you but I really don't know. I wonder if it is really that big of an advantage. Driving is the only place where you can really see a difference - I think it's more to do with equipment and general fitness. If you are 200 yards out, does it make a difference if you use a 5 iron or a 6 iron? (or in my case, my 3 wood) These guys can hit all the shots and since so much of the game is on or within 100 yards of the green, I don't think steroids would prove helpful. I don't see putting being improved. These guys are smart - they know (as we all do) the long term effects of steroid use. But then when the winner's purse can easily be a million bucks... But an interesting question. And, you know, I wish we didn't even have to consider this stuff, but such are the times we live in.

in the right hands anabolic or androgenic steroids can be safely administered with next to zero side effects except some water retention. you do not posses the required knowledge for this task and you definetly don't need to use steroids in high school. your body is producing plenty of test right now to pack on mass. if you aren't gaining weight you aren't eating enough.
