Efficacy and Safety of Thermobalancing Therapy in Men with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms/Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Confirmed by Clinical Trial

Finasteride may affect prostate sensation and size, with some users reporting easier urination. Concerns exist about prostate shrinkage even at lower doses.

Dutasteride is recommended for men on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with DHT-sensitive hair, as it does not interfere with TRT's anabolic effects and may improve libido and aging male symptoms. Users report varying experiences with libido when switching from finasteride to dutasteride, with some noticing improvements and others experiencing fluctuations.

The user experienced bladder and prostate discomfort after taking finasteride and stopped the medication, but symptoms returned upon resuming at a lower dose. The doctor suggested trying dutasteride as an alternative.

The conversation is about a user considering reducing their dutasteride dose due to side effects like lower libido and watery semen. They plan to use dutasteride mesotherapy every three months to maintain hair while reducing systemic DHT suppression.

The user is experiencing low libido and mood swings after starting a low dose of topical finasteride. They are considering further blood tests to investigate low testosterone levels and other hormonal factors.

Finasteride can cause pelvic or urethral discomfort for some users. Reducing the dose to 0.25 mg on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays is being considered as a potential solution.
