Why are people so uneducated about anabolic steroids?

Question

I am always reading and hearing people say that steroids make a man's penis smaller. Number one, the penis is a muscle and anabolic steroids make muscles bigger with training and proper nutrition. Actually your testicales are what shrinkes not the penis because you are giving your body synthetic testosterone that is normaly produced by the testicles. Your LH in your brain tells your body to stop producing testosterone at its normal rate. Just wanted to clear that up for people.

Answer 1

You have just shown how dangerous a little bit of knowledge can be. You've made anabolic steroids sound safe. First, the penis is NOT a muscle, it is an appendage that becomes engorged with blood when erect and totally flaccid when otherwise, it cannot move on it's own, the pelvic floor muscles can make it twitch but that is all. Anabolic steroids are NOT giving the body synthetic testosterone, that is not how they work, they are andronergic in nature and do some of the work of testosterone in individuals with delayed growth problems. This is what they are used for legally. As for illegal use, see below:
Anabolic-androgenic steroids are man-made substances related to male sex hormones. “Anabolic” refers to muscle-building, and “androgenic” refers to increased masculine characteristics. “Steroids” refers to the class of drugs. These drugs are available legally only by prescription, to treat conditions that occur when the body produces abnormally low amounts of testosterone, such as delayed puberty and some types of impotence. They are also prescribed to treat body wasting in patients with AIDS and other diseases that result in loss of lean muscle mass. Abuse of anabolic steroids, however, can lead to serious health problems, some irreversible.

Today, athletes and others abuse anabolic steroids to enhance performance and also to improve physical appearance. Anabolic steroids are taken orally or injected, typically in cycles of weeks or months (referred to as “cycling”), rather than continuously. Cycling involves taking multiple doses of steroids over a specific period of time, stopping for a period, and starting again. In addition, users often combine several different types of steroids to maximize their effectiveness while minimizing negative effects (referred to as “stacking”).

Health Hazards
The major side effects from abusing anabolic steroids can include liver tumors and cancer, jaundice (yellowish pigmentation of skin, tissues, and body fluids), fluid retention, high blood pressure, increases in LDL (bad cholesterol), and decreases in HDL (good cholesterol). Other side effects include kidney tumors, severe acne, and trembling. In addition, there are some gender-specific side effects:

For men - shrinking of the testicles, reduced sperm count, infertility, baldness, development of breasts, increased risk for prostate cancer.
For women - growth of facial hair, male-pattern baldness, changes in or cessation of the menstrual cycle, enlargement of the clitoris, deepened voice.
For adolescents - growth halted prematurely through premature skeletal maturation and accelerated puberty changes. This means that adolescents risk remaining short for the remainder of their lives if they take anabolic steroids before the typical adolescent growth spurt.

In addition, people who inject anabolic steroids run the added risk of contracting or transmitting HIV/AIDS or hepatitis, which causes serious damage to the liver.

Scientific research also shows that aggression and other psychiatric side effects may result from abuse of anabolic steroids. Many users report feeling good about themselves while on anabolic steroids, but researchers report that extreme mood swings also can occur, including manic-like symptoms leading to violence. Depression often is seen when the drugs are stopped and may contribute to dependence on anabolic steroids. Researchers report also that users may suffer from paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired judgment stemming from feelings of invincibility.1

So, you see, your misinformation is dangerous, anyone that makes use of anabolic steroids illegally is an idiot.

Answer 2

Because they won't hear it, they won't listen to the dangerous side effects.

They want big muscles no mather if they will have some side effects later, which can be very serious.

The problem is that more and more younger people, take steroids to build muscle masses and than they will not grow anymore.

Steroids take in a puberty age can stop the normal growth for ever, and this is not the only side effect.

They look to bodybuilders and movie stars as idol, but they are pumped of steroids but have medical attention.

Anybody who uses anabolic steroids with high dosages risks his life, without medical attention it's difficult to avoid the side effects.

Yes, anabolic steroids can mak shrink your testicles but it's reversible.

Even after a steroid cylcle you have side effects, you must know what to take to avoid them.

So then you must take more tablets and meds, to battle the side effects so you're full of meds, for what???

Answer 3

The number 1 steroid in the US is the king of all steroids...testosterone. If you are healthy, it should only be used by middle aged to elderly men as a hormone relacement therapy. Women have been on hormone replacement therapy for decades (estrogen). They begin using it in their 40's and by the time they and their husbands are in their late 60's to 70's the poor husband who has not been on hormone replacement therapy has aged far more mentally and physically than his wife. Estrogen in women, like testosterone in men will keep the mind and body in better health versus no therapy. FACT.
