This review suggests that while finasteride for male pattern hair loss was previously considered safe, there is now evidence associating 5-α reductase inhibitors with significant sexual and reproductive side effects.

In this study, fenugreek seed extract showed significant androgenic and spermatogenic effects in male rats, likely through inhibiting testosterone metabolism, without impacting cardiovascular health.

This review found that 5α-reductase inhibitors are associated with slightly increased rates of sexual dysfunction, gynecomastia, and mood disorders, but the true significance and persistence of these effects remain unclear.

This review discusses concerns about persistent side effects of finasteride, such as sexual dysfunction and suicidal ideation, urging the medical community to recognize and address these issues.

This article examines the evidence regarding finasteride's sexual side effects and offers recommendations for patient counseling but reports no new clinical findings.
