April 2026 in “The Journal of Urology” This study found that prolonged use of finasteride and dutasteride in young men with androgenic alopecia is linked to a decline in semen quality over time, particularly affecting sperm motility and DNA integrity, with dutasteride showing a slightly greater impact than finasteride.
April 2026 in “The Journal of Urology” This study found that men taking 1 mg/day of finasteride had significantly reduced sperm production and morphology but similar hormonal, sexual, and psychological profiles compared to controls, suggesting finasteride affects semen quality without altering other physiological functions.

April 2024 in “The Journal of urology/The journal of urology” In this study, researchers found that methylation of the SRD5A2 gene in blood and tissue samples can serve as a biomarker to predict men's clinical response to finasteride treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, offering a non-invasive method for assessing potential treatment success.
April 2024 in “The Journal of urology/The journal of urology” This study observed that although 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors reduce PSA density in patients on active surveillance for prostate cancer, those who progress to more serious disease still show higher PSA densities, suggesting these inhibitors accentuate differences in clinically significant cases.
May 2023 in “The Journal of Urology” This study found that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors had the highest association with erectile dysfunction reports among medications analyzed in the FDA's national pharmacovigilance database.
