Taking 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors before bladder removal surgery might make high-grade bladder tumors less aggressive.

The review suggests there's no agreed treatment for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, but hydroxychloroquine and 5a-reductase inhibitors are most effective. New treatments like platelet-rich plasma and LED light could help if standard treatments fail.

Dutasteride is linked to a higher chance of sexual dysfunction, especially in younger males and the elderly.

COVID-19 may worsen with androgens; anti-androgen drugs could help.

Dutasteride reduces hospitalization and prostate cancer risk compared to finasteride, potentially offsetting its higher cost.

Finasteride before TURP reduces blood loss and slightly improves early postoperative quality of life.

5-alpha-reductase inhibitors help treat urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate.

Seminal bacteria can lower sperm quality in subfertile men.

Finasteride for hair loss lowers PSA levels, so PSA values need adjusting when screening for prostate cancer.

Dutasteride is a safe and effective treatment for hair loss.

Older patients sticking to their prostate medication saw lasting health benefits.

5-alpha-reductase inhibitors lower PSA density but higher PSA density indicates disease progression.

Canadian lawsuits involving 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors are related to persistent erectile dysfunction side effects, with no judgments against companies yet.

BPH medications may increase the risk of self-harm and depression, especially in the first 18 months.

Dutasteride treatment in men with mild to moderate COVID-19 reduced viral shedding, inflammation, and recovery time without serious side effects.

Anti-androgen therapy might help protect against COVID-19 infection and reduce death risk.

Early treatment with certain drug combinations improved COVID-19 outcomes and prevented severe disease in males, including those at higher risk.

Men with male pattern baldness had worse COVID-19 symptoms, but early treatment with certain drugs improved outcomes for all.

Finasteride and dutasteride do not significantly change beard thickness in men.

Higher SRD5A2 expression predicts better response to finasteride in treating urinary symptoms.

Finasteride, a hair loss drug, can cause sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction in 2.1%-3.8% of users, but these usually go away with time or if the drug is stopped. Despite this, its impact on sexual function is minimal for most men.

Proxalutamide significantly lowered hospital admissions for male COVID-19 patients compared to a placebo.

Odds Ratios can be misleading; it's better to also present risk and Relative Risks for clarity.

The authors suggest that 5-α-reductase inhibitors, like dutasteride, are effective in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia and should be the first-line treatment, with other options for severe cases. They also recommend further research on Janus kinase inhibitors.

Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might reduce it. AST decreases recurrence-free survival but doesn't affect overall survival or progression-free survival. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits.
