    TLDR Finasteride for hair loss can cause erectile dysfunction due to tissue fibrosis.
    This document contains two separate studies. The first study looked at the effects of long-term testosterone therapy on anthropometric parameters in hypogonadal men. The study found that weight, waist circumference, and BMI decreased in men receiving long-term testosterone therapy and increased with advancing age in untreated hypogonadal controls. The second study looked at the effects of finasteride on young men with androgenic alopecia. The study found that all eight patients had corporal erectile tissue fibrosis, which led to drug-induced erectile dysfunction.
