Medical uses of steroids are for some forms of
anemia and breast cancers, endometriosis, osteoporosis and a swelling disorder
called hereditary angiodema. That’s all
for its medical use and nothing for cosmetic use. Its use as for performance and body building
will be more as a side effect when used for medical purposes.

to using steroids for sale athletes or body building. There are even psychological side effects
when a user withdraws from steroids. Depression is one side effect that could ruin a user’s life while on
withdrawal. It is actually the reverse
of aggressiveness and feeling of invincibility while steroid us is being
abused.
