Performance Enhancing Drugs Dangers

In the recent times, much has been said about the dangers associated with the use of performance
enhancing drugs (PEDs). More and more sportsmen and others are admiring the unmatched
benefits of these drugs and the reasons may include the desire to win a medal for the country, a
place on a professional team, a college scholarship, the satisfaction of personal gain, win at all costs,
or seek the glory of bragging rights.

Performance enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids, androstenedione, human growth hormone,
erythropoietin, diuretics, Creatine, and stimulants are commonly used by those in amateur and
professional sports to increase muscle mass, muscle size, muscle symmetry, and body strength
besides improving the ability of the body to handle intense workouts and reduce fatigue associated
with these workouts.

While these drugs are used to improve performance, body strength, and muscle mass, abuse of
these drugs or use of these drugs for purposes other than medicinal or in the absence or
contravention of medical advice can result in severe health complications. Performance enhancing
drugs' dangers may include oily skin, acne, gynecomastia, bloating, male pattern baldness,
impotency, infertility, shrunken testicles, deepened voice, enlarged clitoris, increased body hair,
menstrual irregularities, and increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture. Abuse of these drugs
may also cause high blood pressure, decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol,
increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, heart and circulatory problems, and even
prostate gland enlargement.

According to SG Network (http://www.steroidsglobal.com/buy-anadrol/), the risks associated with
performance enhancing drugs may include increased aggression, drug dependency, psychiatric
disorders, infections or diseases such as HIV or hepatitis in case of improper injection techniques or
sharing of needles. This may even cause stomach cramps, nausea, muscle cramps, vomiting,
diarrhea, or damage to the heart, kidneys, or liver. Abuse of performance enhancing drugs may
even lead to health complications such as heart palpitations and heart rhythm abnormalities,
convulsions, hallucinations, unexpected weight loss or gain, or even brain hemorrhage and some
sportsmen on these drugs may even experience calcium or potassium deficiency, exhaustion, heart
arrhythmias, and decreased ability to regulate body temperature.

In extremely rare cases, this abuse may even result in chromosomal damage to the white blood
cells, resulting in cell death and cancer-causing mutations besides changing anatomy and
physiology or enlargement of the left ventricle of the heart. Users of these drugs can even witness
side effects like depression, uncontrolled perfectionism, distrust, body dissatisfaction, anorexia,
bulimia, and suicidal tendencies. Use of these drugs, indiscriminately or over a long period of time,
may even reduce empathy of users for others and make them less sensitive to the effects of their
actions on others. Performance enhancing drugs’ dangers may even include causing a reduction in
the ability of the NK (natural killer) cells to destroy diseased body cells, like those infected with a
tumor or virus.

In order to avoid these dangers of performance enhancing drugs, it is very important for users
(existing and potential) to remember that these are extremely potent drugs and should be handled
only under qualified supervision and for legal or medicinal purposes. Moreover, these drugs should
never be overdosed or abused to seek dramatic benefits as that may prove lethal.
