    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Endocrinology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are performance-enhancing drugs with significant health risks.
    • Physicians play a crucial role in patient education and management regarding AAS use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the medical and ethical obligations of physicians concerning anabolic steroid use.
    • To emphasize the necessity of discouraging AAS initiation and managing existing users.

    Main Methods:

    • This is a conceptual and ethical review based on established medical principles.
    • Analysis of the physician's role in patient care and public health advocacy.

    Main Results:

    • Physicians have a duty to discourage anabolic steroid use in all patients.
    • Active intervention and treatment are required for individuals already using anabolic steroids.
    • Physician self-prescription or encouragement of AAS use is unethical and harmful.

    Conclusions:

    • Physicians must adopt a firm stance against anabolic steroid use.
    • Comprehensive management strategies are needed for patients using or considering anabolic steroids.
    • Prioritizing patient health and well-being over performance enhancement is paramount.
