In this cohort study of young Danish men, self-reported older age at voice break was linked to certain reproductive hormone changes that suggest reduced male fecundity, but associations with semen characteristics and testicular volume were not statistically significant.
This study reports that in young male patients with finasteride-associated infertility, semen parameters appear reversible after discontinuing the medication.
Long-term use of dutasteride may impair semenvolume and sperm motility, but these effects are often reversible after stopping the drug. Individual reactions vary, and more research is needed to understand the long-term impact on fertility.
A user noticed watery semen and decreased volume after a week of using finasteride and asked if taking Zinc, pygeum, and lecithin supplements would affect finasteride's effectiveness. The conversation is about the side effects of finasteride and potential supplements to counteract them.
Finasteride can reduce semenvolume due to prostate shrinkage but doesn't affect fertility. To increase semenvolume, consider zinc, lecithin, and reducing finasteride dosage.
Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semenvolume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.
People over 35 have seen success with finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride for hair loss. Results vary, with some noticing improvements in hair volume and hairline, while others emphasize patience and managing expectations.
