The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.

Alpha-blockers are the most effective and widely used treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms, with minimal side effects.

Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.

Finasteride might lower the risk of low-grade prostate cancer but not high-grade cancer, while alpha-blockers might reduce high-grade cancer risk.

Finasteride may cause floppy-iris syndrome during cataract surgery, so check patients' medical history.

Genetic defects in androgen production are linked to male developmental disorders and are improving treatment understanding.
