Lost your Mojo? Just not in the mood?
Using anabolic steroids can make a mess of your reproductive system. How does impotence, reduced sperm production and shrinking testicles sound, fellas?
You’re not off the hook on this one either, ladies. Women who use anabolic steroids can have problems with their menstrual cycles (leading to infertility) because anabolic steroids can disrupt the maturation and release of eggs from the ovaries.

A mind-blowing experience
Anabolic steroid use can also trigger a host of mental issues. Mood swings, depression, paranoia, delusions and spontaneous aggressive behavior (aka 'roid rage) are a few of the not-so-pleasant psychological effects. And to counteract these negative effects, steroid users may use, and get addicted to other drugs, such as alcohol and cocaine.
