Resumo: In recent years anabolic steroid consumption has grown exponentially. Nevertheless, chronic consumption has numerous consequences in the cardiovascular, endocrine, psychological and genito-urinary system. The present work relates to a systematic review of the effects of anabolic steroids on male fertility, how it affects the entire sperm production and quality and its effects on sexual function including correlation with erectile dysfunction and libido decrease. These substances are frequently sold illegally on e-commerce platforms without a prescription and, therefore, it is imperative to try to solve the problem both in terms of controlling over-the-counter sales and therapies to reverse or improve side effects on consumers.

O seu consumo crónico acarreta inúmeras consequências a nível do sistema cardiovascular, endocrinológico, psicológico e genitourinário.Opresente trabalho pretende fazer uma revisão sistemática sobre os efeitos nefastos dos esteroides anabolizantes na fertilidade masculina e na função sexual, nomeadamente no que concerne à disfunção erétil, ejaculatória e distúrbio da libido. Estas substâncias são frequentemente vendidas de forma ilegal em plataformas de comércio eletrónico sem prescrição médica e, por isso, é imperativo tentar solucionar o problema tanto a nível do controlo da venda livre, como a nível de terapêuticas para reverter ou melhorar os efeitos colaterais nos consumidores.Associação Portuguesa de Urologia2023-03-13info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.24915/aup.159https://doi.org/10.24915/aup.159Acta Urológica Portuguesa; Vol. 38 No. 1-2 (2023): January - December 2021-2023; 48-56Acta Urológica Portuguesa; v. 38 n. 1-2 (2023): Janeiro - Dezembro 2021-2023; 48-562387-04192341-4022reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://www.actaurologicaportuguesa.com/index.php/aup/article/view/159http://www.actaurologicaportuguesa.com/index.php/aup/article/view/159/66Copyright (c) 2023 Portuguese Association of Urologyhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, JoanaPereira, Bruno Jorge2024-03-10T07:17:21Zoai:oai.actaurologicaportuguesa.com:article/159Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:42:56.233891Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
