The drugs stimulate muscle tissue to grow and bulk up by mimicking the effect of testosterone on the body. These drugs can cause acne, high blood pressure, liver damage, persistent bad breath, aggression and depression, to name a few. More specifically, men can expect to develop breasts, impotence, sterility and testicular shrinkage. Women abusing steroids undergo facial hair growth, menstrual cycle changes and shrinking of the breasts. While some side effects appear quickly, other potential health effects, such as heart attacks and strokes, may not occur for years.
Many effects are irreversible.
