Abscess related to anabolic-androgenic steroid injection

Article Abstract:

Injection of steroids in athletes can cause abscesses in muscular tissue. Abscesses are often caused by lack of sterility in needles or contamination of the steroids. Stricter government regulations are needed to prevent the use of contaminated anabolic-androgenic steroids. Needle exchange programs and increased educational intervention are also needed. Hepatitis is also an undesired side-effect associated with steroid use.
