Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My son is a weightlifter who is dedicated and enthusiastic about his profession. He did all he could to gain muscle mass, but, nothing worked. So I am wondering if he can take steroids to bulk up. If so, what steroids may he use to gain muscle? Is it safe to use steroids at such a young age? How long will he have to take steroids to grow muscle?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Steroids, on the other hand, may be harmful to the body. So encourage him to eat a healthy diet. Increase his protein intake as well. And motivate him to focus on working out to gain muscle mass.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
