research Comparative effects of finasteride and minoxidil on the male reproductive organs: A systematic review of in vitro and in vivo evidence
This study found that finasteride and minoxidil act as hormone disruptors in mice, with finasteride having a more significant association with reproductive injuries, such as damage to the epididymis and reduced semen volume.
research Finasteride
This study found that oral finasteride 1 mg/day promotes hair growth and prevents further hair loss in a significant proportion of men with male pattern hair loss over two years.
research CHRONIC TREATMENT WITH FINASTERIDE DAILY DOES NOT AFFECT SPERMATOGENESIS OR SEMEN PRODUCTION IN YOUNG MEN
This study concluded that daily treatment with 1 mg finasteride did not affect spermatogenesis or semen production in young men and had small, reversible effects on prostate volume and serum PSA.
research Long-term use of dutasteride to treat androgenic alopecia in young men may lead to persistent abnormalities in semen parameters
This study found that long-term use of dutasteride in men taking it for androgenetic alopecia may lead to persistent decreases in semen volume and sperm motility, potentially impacting fertility, with significant impairment observed after 17.8 to 20.3 months of treatment.

A user noticed watery semen and decreased volume after a week of using finasteride and asked if taking Zinc, pygeum, and lecithin supplements would affect finasteride's effectiveness. The conversation is about the side effects of finasteride and potential supplements to counteract them.
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 (37 M) Fin for 5 o years, Dut for 9 months. I’d like to talk to Dut’s manager
A 37-year-old male has been using finasteride for 5 years and dutasteride for 9 months to address hair loss, noticing improvements but also some recent thinning. He experienced no significant side effects from either treatment, except a slight decrease in semen volume with dutasteride, and is considering trying oral minoxidil again despite previous side effects.
community Dutasteride and Sperm Volume concern
Dutasteride can significantly reduce sperm volume, with some users experiencing up to a 90% decrease. While some users report adaptation over time, others suggest switching to finasteride if side effects are too severe.
community how do you produce more thick white cum while on fin?
Finasteride can reduce semen volume due to prostate shrinkage but doesn't affect fertility. To increase semen volume, consider zinc, lecithin, and reducing finasteride dosage.
