Trouble controlling anger, also called "roid-rage".

Tumors in your liver (this one isn't too much discussed, but it is possible).

→ Diseases that are carried in your blood (blood-borne diseases).

→ Extreme addiction (dependence; when your body needs a drug to function correctly).

Extreme withdrawal effects (which consists of pain, physical issues, and mental issues).

Answer:

One of the possible long-term effects of steroid use is impaired liver function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steroids are drugs derived from the hormone testosterone and are known mainly for their effect on muscles (muscle hypertrophy). However, these substances also have other effects such as facial hair growth, acnes, thickening of the voice, changes in the genitalia, behavioral disorders, fluid retention in the body, increased blood pressure and may endanger the user's life.

Among these, a possible long-term effect of steroid use is changes in the body's liver function, where liver function disruptions occur.
