 Introduction
Anabolic steroids :
Drugs made in a lab that mimic the naturally
occurring male sex hormones called androgens.
Testosterone is the primary type of androgen.
Doctors prescribe anabolic steroids to promote the
growth of skeletal muscle and the development of
male sexual characteristics for conditions such as
low testosterone (male hypogonadism), certain
cancers, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS).

 Conclusion
Education and awareness about the dangers of anabolic steroid misuse are crucial
for athletes and the general public. Encouraging safer, legal, and natural
approaches to achieve fitness and performance goals ensures the well-being of
individuals while upholding the integrity of sports and competition. Additionally, the
use of anabolic steroids for performance enhancement is against the rules in most
sports and can lead to severe consequences. Moreover, clinical studies utilizing
AAS for enhancing fracture repair in different ages and different kinds of fractures
may provide useful insight into its clinical use. Its effectiveness in treating skeletal
disorders is largely unexplored. Probing its effectiveness for bone-related disorders
with careful monitoring may offer a new mode of treatment for accelerated
healing from complicated skeletal disorders.
