TLDR Finasteride causes lasting fertility decrease in rats.

The study investigated the effects of finasteride on the epididymis and fertility in rats. The results showed that finasteride treatment caused morphometric-stereological and functional alterations in the epididymis, leading to a decrease in fertility. These effects persisted even after a 30-day post-treatment recovery period. The study suggests that finasteride may have negative effects on male reproductive health and fertility.
