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.
research Semen Parameters Among Transgender Women With a History of Hormonal Treatment
Hormonal treatment in transgender women reduces semen quality, but stopping treatment may improve it.
research Finasteride use in the male infertility population: effects on semen and hormonal parameters
Finasteride may improve sperm count in subfertile men with low sperm count.
research BH02 Reversibility of 5-alpha reductase inhibitor effects on semen parameters: a review of human evidence
This study reviewed human evidence on the effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, finasteride and dutasteride, on semen parameters and gonadotrophins, finding finasteride causes mild, reversible changes, while dutasteride may lead to more pronounced and potentially less reversible impacts, suggesting caution for those planning to conceive.

Long-term use of dutasteride may impair semen volume 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.
community Dutasteride and male fertility
Dutasteride may affect semen parameters but not significantly enough to impact fertility unless baseline fertility is already low. Finasteride and minoxidil are used for hair regrowth, with no side effects reported by one user.
community Brief summary of new dutasteride study linked to infertility and the limitations/problems with the study
Dutasteride treatment may decrease sperm concentration, but levels remain above WHO recommendations and recover after discontinuation. The study has limitations, including small sample size and lack of pre-treatment sperm data, and does not assess other fertility factors.
community New study compared twice weekly, thrice weekly DUT and daily finasteride
Dutasteride is effective for hair loss but may cause side effects like decreased sperm count, which might not fully recover after stopping. Users discuss balancing dosages to minimize side effects while maintaining benefits.
community Haunting study is making me considering cycling fin/dut
Concerns about the long-term effects of dutasteride and finasteride on fertility, with discussions on cycling these medications to mitigate risks. The conversation highlights skepticism about study methodologies and the importance of weighing treatment risks against potential fertility issues.
