Herbal products for benign prostate hypertrophy need better quality checks to ensure safety and effectiveness.
research Total prostate volume as risk factor for semen pathologies in ageing male
Larger prostate size in older men may be linked to poorer semen quality and fertility issues.
research Finasteride-its impact on sexual function and prostate cancer
Finasteride reduces prostate cancer risk but may affect ejaculatory volume and requires careful consideration for young men.
research Antiandrogenic activity of Riboflavin 5′-phosphate (FMN) in 22Rv1 and LNCaP human prostate cancer cell lines
Riboflavin 5′-phosphate (FMN) shows potential for treating androgen-related conditions but may be limited in treating prostate cancer.
research Comment on “The post-finasteride syndrome: possible etiological mechanisms and symptoms”
Some men experience persistent sexual, neurological, and psychological symptoms after stopping finasteride, but evidence of permanent damage is inconclusive.

Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.
community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility
Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.
community If PP405 does revive "dead" hair follicles would DHT blockers theoretically be enough to maintain that new hair
PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles, and DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride could maintain new hair. Combining PP405 with minoxidil might be optimal, but long-term effects and continuous use are uncertain.
community Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?
Blocking DHT is not a complete solution for hair loss; instead, altering the scalp's response to DHT may be more effective. Topical finasteride and minoxidil are current treatments, but future approaches may involve bioengineering, gene therapy, and inflammation control.
community The Placebo Group Has It Worse Than The Standard Prescription 0.5mg Group. -The fear is all in your head.
Dutasteride at 0.5mg may have fewer sexual side effects than expected, with many side effects attributed to psychological factors (nocebo effect). The placebo group experienced more side effects, suggesting fear and anxiety might contribute to perceived side effects.
