Medical experts have warned that the various steroid based supplements, which are easily available in the market, can cause serious mental and physical disorders. The consumption of steroids has several side-effects which includes causing impotency, male breast enlargement and cardiovascular and liver disorders.
A survey conducted in Britain revealed that over 80 percent of active steroids users had sperm counts that were below 20 million. Samir Parikh, a psychiatrist with Max Hospital, remarked that such drugs cause several psychological disorders like mood swings, sleeplessness, depression, change in food habits and aggression.
Shivani Sachdev Gour, a consultant Fertility Specialist at Fortis hospital significantly revealed that the use of these steroids can stimulate unrestrained secretion of testosterone which leads to bulging muscles but eventually results in exhausted sexual functioning and suppresses the work of other vital organs. These days the markets are flooded with steroids, which are faked as health boosters and sometime even carry the organic ‘Ayurvedic’ and Herbal’ tag.
