    TLDR 5-ARI therapy may help prevent prostate cancer progression.
    The study discussed the use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) in men undergoing active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer (PCa), which had been controversial. It provided evidence suggesting that 5-ARI therapy could be beneficial, aligning with the REDEEM trial findings. Specifically, 75% of men receiving 5-ARI showed no evidence of pathologic cancer progression at the restaging biopsy after a median follow-up of 35 months.

      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 Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance

      The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.

      Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
