- Faster recuperation
Their medical benefits include their involvement in replacement therapy for men whose testes fails to produce adequate quantities of testosterone (required for sex drive and primary sex characteristics).
They’re also given to HIV-positive individuals and some cancer patients to increase their appetite, maintain muscle mass and enhance their sense of well-being.
Whatever the benefits, steroid usage can lead to grave consequences. They may be taken only when prescribed by a physician to treat a medical condition.
