Dutasteride and finasteride do not significantly affect bone density, blood fats, or blood production, but slightly lower PSA levels and minimally impact sexual function in healthy young men.
research S1 OPIOID RECEPTOR AGONISTS AND SERUM PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGENE LEVEL: IS THERE A ROLE FOR PROSTATE CANCER CONTROL AND CHEMOPREVENTION?
Opioid use may lower PSA levels, suggesting a possible role in prostate cancer control; PSA testing is useful for detecting prostate cancer; serum triglycerides are not linked to prostate cancer risk; and higher urethral PSA levels may be associated with local hormone activity.

5 / 121 resultscommunity PSA: Greasy, product laden hair makes the scalp 10x more visible
Greasy or product-laden hair can make the scalp appear more visible, leading some to mistakenly think they are balding. Proper hair washing and avoiding heavy products can help assess true hair thickness, and treatments like finasteride are used by some for actual hair loss.
community PSA: Fin/Dut are NON-NEGOTIABLE
Finasteride and dutasteride are essential for stopping hair loss, while natural remedies are ineffective. Minoxidil can be added if needed, but blocking DHT is crucial.
community PSA: Check your vitamin D levels!
Low vitamin D levels can negatively impact hair growth, and supplementing with vitamin D, along with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, may help improve hair health. Quitting smoking and ensuring adequate vitamin B12 and K2 intake are also suggested to support hair regrowth.
community PSA: Get your Vitamin D levels checked!
A user improved their hair health by taking 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 weekly due to a deficiency. Others discussed the potential link between vitamin D and hair growth, with some sharing similar experiences and emphasizing the importance of monitoring vitamin D levels and consulting with doctors.
community PSA: Most men who stay on Fin will see the sexual side effects go away. Stop the fear mongering
Finasteride can cause sexual side effects in less than 2% of men, but these often disappear over time, even if the treatment continues. Some users report persistent side effects, while others experience no issues or only temporary ones.
