[QUOTE="madman, post: 200916, member: 13851"] [B]Article highlights[/B] [I][B]● Anabolic-androgenic steroid use is an important cause of male infertility that physicians should be aware of. ● The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis is a finely tuned process that is easily influenced by exogenous anabolic steroid use which leads to impaired spermatogenesis and male infertility. ● The majority of anabolic steroid users are unaware of the fertility side effects associated with its use. ● Chronic anabolic steroid use has been linked with myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, accelerated atherosclerosis, stroke, and premature death. ● Anabolic steroid users can be categorized into four separate groups: the YOLO (You Only Live Once) type, the Athlete type, the Well-Being type, and the Expert type. ● A growing preoccupation with male body image and increasing social media use among men may contribute to the rising prevalence of anabolic steroid use. ● Selective androgen receptor modulators are a new class of performance and image-enhancing compounds being misused by men and can have similar side effects of hypogonadism and male infertility.

Although anabolic steroid prevention tactics have been enacted, the prevalence of steroid use appears to be on the rise.
