This is partly due to the fact that there is limited scientific evidence about the health effects of AAS and hardly any evidence to guide treatment of side effects. Secondly, most doctors, including endocrinologists, do not have much experience with AAS abusers and do not have detailed knowledge of the different compounds and the adverse health effects they may inflict. They do not understand why someone would jeopardize his health in order to gain muscle mass or strength and simply advise the patient to stop using steroids at once. First, some doctors may feel reluctant to help a patient who has self-inflicted health issues due to the use of banned substances. The interaction between doctor and patient may be hampered for a number of reasons. Every now and then a clinical endocrinologist will be visited by a patient that uses anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) or has been using them in the past.
