The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition with Dutasteride and Finasteride on Semen Parameters and Serum Hormones in Healthy Men

The study investigated the effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, dutasteride and finasteride, on semen parameters and serum hormones in healthy men. It was found that these medications, commonly used for treating conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia, could potentially alter semen parameters and hormone levels. The research provided insights into the physiological impacts of these drugs, although the specific changes in semen parameters and hormone levels were not detailed in the summary. The study contributed to understanding the broader implications of 5α-reductase inhibition in men.
