research Alpha-blockers/finasteride: no benefit in ED
research Epigenetic Effects of Finasteride on Dopaminergic Signaling Pathways: A potential contributor to Post-Finasteride Syndrome
Finasteride may cause changes in dopamine-related genes, possibly leading to post-finasteride syndrome.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research Adverse Effects and Safety of 5-alpha Reductase Inhibitors (Finasteride, Dutasteride): A Systematic Review.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors are generally safe but can cause sexual side effects and require patient education on risks.
research Combination of finasteride and tamsulosine in the treatment of male lower urinary tract symptoms: What patients are thinking about?
Patients follow treatment well, but many change medicines; good information helps compliance.
research 5-α-Reductase inhibitors for prostate cancer chemoprevention: an updated Cochrane systematic review
5-α-reductase inhibitors reduce prostate cancer risk but may cause sexual dysfunction and don't affect high-grade tumor or death rates.
research Robust coupling between the C‐tactile afferent and the hair follicle in humans
C-tactile nerves are sensitive to hair movement.
research Skin, eye and other problems

Post-finasteride syndrome can cause sexual and systemic side effects, and patients should be informed about these risks.
research Acute urinary retention: risks and management.
Older men with severe symptoms and larger prostates should focus on prevention, using finasteride and alpha-blockers to manage acute urinary retention.
research Population-level risk of erectile dysfunction after finasteride use for androgenetic alopecia: a national cohort analysis
research Patch testing procedures in patients suffering from suspected allergic contact dermatitis to minoxidil
Allergic reactions to minoxidil may be due to the propylene glycol it is mixed with, not the minoxidil itself.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
research Comment on ‘Androgenetic alopecia is associated with increased scalp hardness’: role of phosphodiesterase inhibitors?
