一个案例中,滥用合成代谢类固醇的健美运动员导致了一个不寻常的身体体征。该案件讨论了合成代谢类固醇滥用可能对成年人的影响。合成代谢类固醇滥用的频率正在增加。这方面的精神疾病和暴力犯罪的影响进行了讨论。众所周知,使用合成代谢类固醇的年轻男子,特别是健美运动员,正在迅速增长(佩里和Littlepage,1992),他们可能意识到杂质和污染的风险。有一个广泛的合成代谢类固醇的使用;他们经常使用的剂量大于lmg/kg每天.以及单次使用,滥用者可能会“堆叠”(使用一个以上的时间)或“金字塔”(使用增加剂量的给定药物)类固醇(肯尼迪,1990).合成代谢类固醇对身体和精神的影响是众所周知的(Kashkin和Kleber,1989; Brower,1992; Pope和Katz,1988)。然而,我们描述的情况下,精神症状,暴力爆发和独特的(?)物理标志。
A case is presented in which the abuse of anabolic steroids by a body builder led to an unusual physical sign. The case discusses the effects that anabolic steroid abuse can have upon manhood. The frequency of anabolic steroid misuse is increasing. The implications of this with respect to psychiatric illness and violent crime are discussed. It is well known that the use of anabolic steroids among young men, body builders in particular, is growing apace (Perry and Littlepage, 1992), and they may be aware of the risks of impurity and contamination. There is a wide range of anabolic steroids in use; they are often used in doses of greater than lmg/kg per day. As well as single use, the misuser may ‘stack’ (use more than one at a time) or ‘pyramid’ (use increasing doses of a given drug) the steroids (Kennedy, 1990). The physical and psychiatric effects of anabolic steroids are well known (Kashkin and Kleber, 1989; Brower, 1992; Pope and Katz, 1988). However, we describe a case with psychiatric symptoms, a violent outburst and a unique (?) physical sign.
