Athletes sometimes lose their performance and muscle mass. It uses chemical based drugs to increase the These chemical-containing drugs add volume, contour and strength to the muscles. Using them has become so commonplace that; A large portion of these athletes accept that this is the nature of the job.

The mechanisms by which steroids cause gynecomastia in elite or amateur chemical-containing drug users are as follows;

1. Some steroids are converted into estrogen in the periphery and increase the estrogen rate.

Steroids suppress testicular functions. In case of sudden discontinuation, due to the estrogen level gynecomastia occurs.

Some steroids have an androgenic effect. In response to this, estrogen is also produced. When used for a long time, the development of gynecomastia is inevitable.

The chemical-containing drugs used are roughly divided into 2; those taken orally and those administered by injection into the muscle. The most important difference between them is that they are taken orally. It is used more frequently (3-4 times a day). However, it is eliminated from the body faster. Since the use of these drugs is considered doping, it is not detected in the blood test 8 days after discontinuation.
