research Decreased Fertility in Male Rats Administered the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Finasteride, Due to Deficits in Copulatory Plug Formation
Finasteride reduces male rat fertility by causing issues with copulatory plug formation.
research Faculty Opinions Recommendation of Six Novel Susceptibility Loci for Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Unexpected Association with Common Diseases
Six new risk spots for early hair loss were found, which also link to Parkinson's disease and lower fertility. Two genes, FOXA2 and HDAC4, could be new treatment targets. Hair loss might also be connected to heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and prostate cancer.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity H as anyone done sperm/fertility test before and after staring finasteride?
The conversation discusses the impact of finasteride on sperm, including potential side effects like decreased ejaculate volume and total sperm count. Users share experiences and concerns about fertility tests before and after starting finasteride.
community Long-term use of dutasteride may lead to male infertility by persistently impairing semen volume and sperm motility.
Long-term use of dutasteride may impair semen volume and sperm motility, but these effects are often reversible after stopping the drug. Individual reactions vary, and more research is needed to understand the long-term impact on fertility.
community Brief summary of new dutasteride study linked to infertility and the limitations/problems with the study
Dutasteride treatment may decrease sperm concentration, but levels remain above WHO recommendations and recover after discontinuation. The study has limitations, including small sample size and lack of pre-treatment sperm data, and does not assess other fertility factors.
community Dutasteride Infertility Debunked: Low T causes true infertility.
Dutasteride and finasteride may temporarily affect semen quality but are unlikely to cause permanent infertility. The Kim et al. study is criticized for poor methodology, and many prefer hair retention over potential fertility concerns, using treatments like dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil.
community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility
Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.
