Anabolic Steroids

Summary

Anabolic steroids are a group of synthetic drugs. They copy the masculinising effects of the male sex hormone, testosterone.

Anabolic steroids are often referred to as a ‘performance and image enhancing drug’. Their use includes increasing sporting performance and outcomes.

There are some legitimate medical uses for anabolic steroids.

People who misuse anabolic steroids may include athletes, bodybuilders and people who feel they need to look muscular to feel good about themselves.

The misuse of anabolic steroids can cause long-term side effects. These can include cardiovascular complications, liver disease, reproductive organ damage and severe mood swings.

Support is available for anabolic steroid users who want to change their dependence on these drugs.

What are anabolic steroids?

Anabolic steroids are synthetic hormones that help with the growth andrepair of muscle tissue. They imitate the male sex hormone, testosterone.

There are legitimate medical uses for anabolic steroids. Doctors prescribe them to treat hormonal problems (such as delayed puberty in males or loss of muscle caused by diseases like cancer or HIV).

Anabolic steroids are also misused. People who illegally use anabolic steroids often do so to increase lean muscle mass, reduce fat and speed up recovery from injury.

Anabolic steroids can take the form of tablets, capsules or injectable liquids, depending on the brand.

Common slang terms for steroids include 'roids', 'gear' and 'juice'.

Anabolic steroids are classed as performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs).

Who uses anabolic steroids?

According to research, anabolic steroiduse for non-medical purposes is more common in men in their 30s. Other groups who typically use them include:

Professional athletes and bodybuilders who are involved in competitive sport or who have a strong desire to succeed.

People who work in industries where muscle strength is important – such as security workers, police, construction workers and defence force staff.

Young people and adults who are concerned about their body image and want to look muscular to feel good. This may include people who work in the fashion and entertainment industries.

How anabolic steroids work

Anabolic steroids work by imitating the properties of naturally occurring hormones, Their chemical composition is similar to testosterone and can activate the body’s testosterone receptors.

Once the receptors are stimulated, a domino effect of metabolic reactions takes place as the drug instructs the body to increase muscle tissue production.

Testosterone has two effects on your body:

anabolic – maintains bone density, supports muscle growth and speeds up recovery from injury

androgenic (also known as masculinising) – develops and maintains male characteristics (such as the penis, testicles, muscle mass, deep voice and facial hair).

Although testosterone is called a male sex hormone, it also occurs naturally in women, but in much smaller amounts.

How anabolic steroids affect the body

People who use anabolic steroids generally experience an increase in muscle strength very quickly.

This generally means that people are able to train more often and for longer periods of time, with improved recovery.

This can often lead to rapid increases in lean muscle tissue.

Fluid retention is also common and can lead to muscles looking soft or bloated.

Side effects of anabolic steroids

The effects of anabolic steroid use can differ from person to person. Some people may experience:

fluid retention (also called water retention or oedema)

difficulty sleeping

damage to nerves from injecting steroids

irritability, mood swings, aggression or depression

increased sex drive (libido)

skin changes – acne that results in scarring

more colds.

Men may experience:

testicle and penis shrinkage

reduced sperm count

erectile dysfunction (or impotence)

prostate problems

gynaecomastia (breast development)

baldness (patterned hair loss)

involuntary and long-lasting erection.

Women may experience:

irregular menstrual cycle or loss of periods (amenorrhoea)

shrunken breasts

deepened voice

facial and body hair growth (such as hirsutism)

abnormal growth of the clitoris.

Young people may experience:

stunted growth

premature balding

acne scarring

injury caused by excessive, intense workouts

stretch marks on the chest and arms

prematurely aged (or ‘leathery’) skin.

Long-term effects of anabolic steroids

Anabolic steroids can produce many unpleasant and often permanent side effects, including:

damage to the gonads (testicles or ovaries)

liver disease

malfunctions of the kidneys, liver or heart

'roid rage', which is characterised by uncontrollable outbursts of psychotic aggression

paranoia and mood swings, including deep depression

severe acne, which can cause scarring

high blood cholesterol levels

high blood pressure (hypertension)

injuries to tendons that can't keep up with the increased muscle strength

delusional feelings of being superhuman or invincible.Trembling and muscle tremors.

nerve damage from needle use – this may lead to conditions such as sciatica

unsafe needle use can increased the risk of contracting infactions such as hepatitis B and C, HIV and tetanus.

Mixing anabolic steroids with other drugs

A person who is using anabolic steroids may turn to other supplementary drugs.

They may do this to either speed up their physical transformation or counter the side effects of the steroids.

The dangers of mixing these drugs aren't fully known.

Some of these other drugs may include:

amphetamines – to counteract feelings of deep depression and aid in fat loss

beta blockers – to counteract trembling

diuretics – to counteract fluid retention

human growth hormone – such as human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) to stimulate the body's natural production of testosterone and counteract testicle shrinkage.

Dependence on anabolic steroids

Anabolic steroids do not cause physical dependence. However, if a person relies on them for their self-esteem and confidence, then giving up can be extremely difficult. The pressure to keep using steroids may result in feelings of anger or depression if their access to steroids is denied, even temporarily.

Withdrawal from anabolic steroids

It can take up to 4 months to restore natural testosterone levels after being on anabolic steroids for a long time. Withdrawal symptoms from steroids can include:

fatigue

weight loss due to lowered appetite

decreased strength

depression.

Treatment for anabolic steroid addiction

Treatment options for drug dependence or addiction may include:

detoxification

individual counselling

group therapy.

Peer support – or talking to someone who has been in the same situation – can also be helpful.

See your doctor for information and referral, or contact an alcohol and other drug service in your area.
