Did you mean Prostate Weight?

Glossary Prostate Weight

mass of prostate gland, usually measured in grams

Prostate weight refers to the mass of the prostate gland, typically measured in grams. This measurement is important in medical contexts, as an enlarged prostate can indicate conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. For professionals, accurate assessment of prostate weight can aid in diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.

research In vitro and In vivo Effects of 17β-N-(4-phenylcarbamoyl) androst-4-en-3- one Derivatives as 5a-reductase Inhibitors on Androgen-dependent Glands

September 2020 in “Current Enzyme Inhibition”

In this study, researchers found that steroidal 17β-carboxamides 1-4 significantly inhibited 5α-reductase enzyme activity and reduced prostate weight more effectively than finasteride in a hamster model, without toxic side effects, suggesting potential for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

research Physiological and histological study of the effect of finasteride drug (Prostacare) on the fertility of albino male rats

5 citations , January 2018 in “Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology”

In this rat study, finasteride treatment significantly reduced body, testis, epididymis, and prostate weights and affected testicular histology, indicating potential negative impacts on testicular function.

research Activity of steroid 4 and derivatives 4a–4f as inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase 1

3 citations , June 2018 in “Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry”

This study identified that derivatives 4, 4b, and 4c strongly inhibited the enzyme type 1 5α-reductase and decreased reproductive organ weights in hamsters, suggesting potential as prodrugs for prostate tumor growth inhibition.

community My dad 61y/o healed from full bald to full head of hair

178 upvotes 2 years ago

A user's 61-year-old father regained a full head of hair after four years on dutasteride for his prostate and five months of weight loss and exercise. The user decided to switch from finasteride to dutasteride and continue exercising, inspired by his father's results.

community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility

in Research/Science 643 upvotes 1 year ago

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.

community now exactly 2 years since starting 1mg oral fin

in Progress Pictures 749 upvotes 1 year ago

The user experienced significant hair regrowth using 1mg oral finasteride daily and recently added minoxidil 5% to address remaining gaps. They reported no significant side effects, attributing any perceived changes to weight fluctuations rather than the medication.

community Been on Propecia since 1997, recently switched to Topical Finasteride.. follow for updates, or to ask any questions about 23 years on Propecia.

103 upvotes 5 years ago

User spent 23 years on Finasteride with side effects like weight gain and reduced libido. Switched to topical Finasteride, side effects reduced and waiting for results.

community Take the meds, but know that LIFESTYLE MATTERS

in Research/Science 20 upvotes 5 months ago

Minoxidil and finasteride aid hair regrowth, but a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and maintaining a healthy weight, enhances their effectiveness. Being underweight can impede hair regrowth, while a balanced diet and addressing deficiencies can improve outcomes.
