A fertility doctor has warned that taking steroids to build body and muscle risks men with infertility.
Dr. Francisco Ruiz, Medical Director of IVI Clinic, Muscat, said: "These drugs affect fertility, and may cause prostate cancer, as well as a host of other health problems."
He added that men usually use anabolic steroids to raise the level of hormone «testosterone», which leads to increase muscle mass and improve muscle strength, but these drugs have the opposite and destructive effect; This leads to low fertility in the user and in some cases to zero.
