Can steroids help in building muscle mass?

Question

Hi doctor,

My son is a dedicated and enthusiastic weightlifter. He has tried everything to gain muscle mass, but nothing seems to be working. I am wondering if he could consider using steroids to bulk up. If so, what types of steroids might be used for muscle gain? Is it safe for someone his age to use steroids? How long would he need to take steroids to see muscle growth?

Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Steroids, on the other hand, can be harmful to the body. Therefore, encourage him to maintain a healthy diet and increase his protein intake. Also, motivate him to focus on his workout regimen to build muscle mass.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
