    TLDR The effectiveness of finasteride for preventing chronic bacterial prostatitis is unclear.
    The study explored the potential of finasteride as a preventive treatment for chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) using an animal model. Traditional treatments for CBP involved empirical antibiotics, but these had low success rates and posed risks of adverse events and bacterial resistance. The research aimed to find an alternative to long-term antibiotic therapy. However, the document did not provide specific results or conclusions from the study, leaving the effectiveness of finasteride in this context unclear.

      The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride due to a prostate condition and noticed mixed results, with some improvement in the middle hairline but worsening at the temples, while also using minoxidil. Other users shared similar experiences with shedding and emphasized the need for patience, as dutasteride can take several months to show full effects.
