This review indicates that many former FDA category D and X systemic dermatologic medications may negatively impact male fertility, with further research needed to assess potential teratogenic effects.

Men using steroids or finasteride to look more attractive may harm their fertility and sexual function, creating a paradox where they seem fit but may be less able to reproduce.

The study observed that finasteride reduced fertility in male Sprague-Dawley rats by impairing the formation of copulatory plugs, an effect considered specific to rats and not applicable to species without this reproductive feature.

This study found that pregnant Egyptian women with PCOS and recurrent miscarriages showed elevated DHEA levels and shortened cervical length, which may negatively impact pregnancy outcomes.

In this study, researchers observed that lower serum zinc concentrations were associated with decreased serum testosterone levels, but no link was found with sexual function questionnaire scores.

This review examines how genetic variants associated with polycystic ovary syndrome affect reproductive success differently in men and women, supporting the theory that intralocus sexual conflict may explain its persistence.

This study found that exposure to finasteride impaired spermatogenesis in male Xenopus laevis by affecting sex-specific feedback mechanisms in the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis.

This study found that infertile couples who perceive themselves as having high intimacy report better subjective health, particularly in fulfilling social responsibilities and maintaining physical fitness.

In this study, there was no significant difference in blastocyst quality scores between hyperandrogenic and classical PCOS patients undergoing IVF, suggesting other factors might influence the lower embryo utilization in hyperandrogenic cases.

This study found that oral administration of finasteride to pregnant rats caused dosage-related developmental toxicities, including hypospadias and decreased anogenital distance in male offspring.

This study found that delmadinone acetate and finasteride caused a reversible suppression of prostate gland activity in male dogs, with delmadinone acetate also temporarily altering epididymal sperm maturation.

In this case report, a male patient's semen parameters improved after discontinuing a 1-mg dose of finasteride, suggesting that stopping the medication may benefit infertile men with previous sperm production issues.
