steroids

Steroids are a class of synthetic substances similar to hormones produced naturally in the body, primarily testosterone. They are used medically to treat conditions like inflammation, autoimmune diseases, or hormone deficiencies. However, some athletes and bodybuilders misuse anabolic steroids to increase muscle mass, strength, and athletic performance. While these may promote rapid muscle growth, misuse can lead to serious health risks such as heart problems, liver damage, hormonal imbalances, and psychological effects. Steroids should be used responsibly and under medical supervision to avoid adverse health consequences.
