Finasteride lowers risk of urinary issues and surgery by over 50% in 4 years.
research Chronic Treatment with Finasteride Daily Does Not Affect Spermatogenesis or Semen Production in Young Men
Finasteride doesn't harm male fertility or sperm quality, but may slightly reduce ejaculate volume.
research Testosterone Supplementation for Aging-Associated Sarcopenia
Testosterone supplements can increase muscle mass and strength in older men with low levels, but long-term effects and risks need more research.
