This study found that finasteride may affect Ca 2+ signalling in human sperm by interacting with the PGE 1 -binding site, but its impact on fertilization requires further investigation.

Testosterone replacement therapy can prevent men from fathering children and should not be used by those wanting to stay fertile.

The researchers reported that finasteride treatment in male rats may lead to changes in antioxidant enzyme activity in their offspring's epididymis, potentially affecting sperm maturation.

This chapter reviews the role of the testes in producing and functioning of testicular androgens and protein hormones, but it presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses the potential persistent adverse effects associated with 5α reductase inhibitor treatment for androgenetic alopecia but provides no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of discussing these risks with patients.

This study concluded that mesotherapy with a dutasteride-containing solution was the most effective option for treating androgenetic alopecia in males, promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss.

This case report describes a 40-year-old man whose secondary infertility, observed after prolonged finasteride use for hair loss, resolved following discontinuation of the drug, resulting in a live birth.

This article reviews infertility diagnosis and initial management for advanced practice clinicians, emphasizing the role of midwives and advanced practice nurses, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that in male rats, hesperidin co-administration ameliorated finasteride-induced testicular toxicity by reducing oxidative stress and improving antioxidant status, sperm parameters, and enzyme activity compared to finasteride treatment alone.

This document by the AACE and AES provides a 2015 summary of best practices for diagnosing and managing PCOS, emphasizing clinical assessment and treatment options but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that discontinuing finasteride led to a significant increase in sperm counts for most men with reduced fertility, though hormone levels and other semen parameters remained unchanged.

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.
