The following are common side effects of steroids.
1. Breast growth in men. Feminisasai symptoms occur due to excess levels of estrogen that can cause fat deposits on the breasts of men. These symptoms can actually be prevented with the help of anti-estrogen drugs. Prevention can only be done as long as the breast has not been formed or is still a form of formation symptoms. If the breast is already formed and the shape is very disturbing appearance, then healing can only be done by surgery.
2. The appearance of acne. The appearance of acne is very dependent on the type of steroid used and the condition of the wearer's skin. Increased hormonal activity in the body results in increased oil production on the surface of the skin. Acne can be prevented by keeping the skin clean. If it has already appeared, you should limit the use of steroids and use anti-androgen ointments.
3. Psychological changes. Steroid use can affect the psychological factor of the wearer. But this happens only to a small number of users. Steroids can increase the aggressiveness of the wearer, emotional conditions become easily changed, and insomnia.
4. Steroids can cause liver damage. This is especially true for steroids that are taken orally or taken by mouth. As we have seen, that every substance that enters through the mouth will pass through the liver to be filtered. Similarly with oral steroids. With the help of enzymes, the liver will filter incoming steroids.
