Risks that go beyond aesthetics
This citizen’s case illustrates an increasingly common scenario. Consumption of anabolic steroids has increased in recent years, driven by aesthetic pressures and the search for quick results in the gym.
The most common side effects are:
- Hormonal imbalances.
- Increased cardiovascular risk.
- Changes in the liver.
- Decrease in sexual desire.
- Infertility.
- Anxiety, irritability and mood changes.
- Acne and hair loss.
Even when used for short periods, these hormones can leave long-term effects.
Why do so many people resort to steroids?
The influence of social networks, performance culture and constant comparison with highly specific bodies are likely central factors.
Additionally, many users start with small doses but end up escalating use in an attempt to maintain rapid results, which increases the risk of permanent damage.
Repentance that sends a warning
By sharing his experience, Eduardo Costa emphasizes that he does not want to turn the speech into a taboo, but into a warning. His testimony shows that anabolic steroid abuse is not just a matter of vanity, but about physical and emotional health.
The singer’s speech raises an urgent topic: the need for more accessible information about risks and safe alternatives for those looking to improve body composition.
Health professionals remember that structural changes, such as well-targeted training, adequate nutrition, and nutritional supplementation when needed, remain the safest and most sustainable strategies.
