    There is a common habit among weight trainers to use steroids. These synthetic substances are used by body builders to gain muscle mass and strength. Basically, the popularity of steroids lies in the fact that they boost the muscle building procedure by enhancing the levels of testosterone in the body. Although, there are several lethal drawbacks of using it:

    Mood swing is one of the many side effects of steroids. The person becomes aggressive and sometimes even paranoid. Men are usually found to be more prone to such moods since the level of testosterone in there body goes higher.

    Depression is another psychological problem that he/she might become a victim of. This happens due to imbalance of the androgen/ estrogen levels inside the body.

    Regular consumption of steroids can also lead to Acne. This is because the intake of this substance stimulates the level of hormones, which affects the sebaceous glands, which secretes oils in the skin. Increasing level of oils in the skin enhances the chances of acne on the back, shoulders and face.

    Pregnant women who knowingly or unknowingly end up using steroids can witness defects in there new born. One of the biggest effects is, the development of male genitals in a female fetus.

    Hair loss is another problem which many steroid consumers face. Androgen steroids have a tendency of decreasing hair growth.
