Anabolic steroids are taken to increase muscle size and strength. The large doses necessary have many side effects. These include: Liver cancer, kidney damage, increased risk of Heart disease, stunted growth, wide mood swings, increased acne, and increased irritability and aggression. Additionally, females may experience atrophy of breasts and uterus, menstrual irregularities, sterility, facial hair growth, and deepening of voice. Males may experience diminished testosterone secretion, atrophy of the testes, sterility, and baldness.
