A Pilot Study on the Sexual Side Effects of Finasteride as Related to Hand Preference for Men Undergoing Treatment of Male Pattern Baldness

This pilot study investigated the relationship between hand preference, sexual function, and the anti-androgen finasteride in men undergoing treatment for male pattern baldness. The study found that left-handed men reported more sexual side effects than right-handed men, suggesting that hand preference may be a predictor of sexual side effects in men taking finasteride. However, the study had limitations, including a small sample size and lack of a control group, and further research is needed to confirm these findings.
