Anabolic steroids and the kid’s health
Contrary to other types of steroids used to cure health complications such asthma and lupus, anabolic steroids have been used by people young and old to induce muscle growth. Ideally, they boost the body’s ability to produce more muscles and prevent muscle breakdown. This type of steroids have been therefore used by athletes and body builders to improve their ability to lift higher, run faster and jump higher or be able to sustain some endurance. Research has proven that most kids have also adopted the culture due to the pressure they get in their daily activates to find a cutting edge in their over their peers.
The drugs resemble the structure of the male sex hormone testosterone which directs the body to produce male characteristics like increased muscle weight and deepening of the voice, an important part of the male puberty stage that happens naturally. Understanding this theory is key to discovering some of the effects of the drug to the body of a kid especially when taken in excess.
The effects of steroids to kids can be experienced when they have been used for a long time. Although they help stimulate muscle tissues that make the body to grow strong and larger, when used for a long time, they have been discovered to be very hazardous to kids who use an overdose than prescribed or necessary. In male kids, the anabolic steroids can lead to impotence a condition that arises when one is subjected to a reduced sperm count and the consequent decrease of the testicle size of the victim. Since they practically disrupt the maturity process, they also affect female kids’ menstrual cycles a situation that can cause infertility after prolonged use.
Because they act like the natural male testosterone hormone that induces male characteristics, you can definitely imagine how dangerous they can be to your girl child. How will you feel when a girl child under your care developed male characteristics like deep voice and facial or body hairs? In worst case scenarios, they lead to the enlargement of the clitoris a condition that can permanently affect her sex life when she grows up.
Some of the other general effects on both sexes include stunted growth that usually occurs because the bones start growing abnormally affecting the growth other body parts, abnormal enlargement of body muscles, increased breast growth for male kids, unnecessary muscle aches and a heightened tendency of hair growth that in some cases leads to baldness in male kids when they reach their puberty stages.
Medical practitioners advice that guardians and parents of kids who are active in sporting activities should take keen observation of their kids’ behaviors to ensure that they are not influenced to using these drugs especially when they at the height of their sport. Note that in some countries or states, these anabolic steroids are illegal therefore the purchase or being in possession of the drugs is basically being on the wrong side of the law, one of the last things that you want happening to your kid.
