Finasteride Side Effects

[changeisnigh]

i feel like the only side effects i've had so far is my sex drive not being as high anymore. also sorta went soft twice when i was fucking a girl so idrk.


I've read some people posting about how this medication has affected their dick size. was just wondering if there are any studies that point to this

 

[ProjectAscension]

High inhib

Hairline is more important

You ain't gonna be using that noodle when your hairline is looking like this

majorly cucked

get off it immediately, you were destined to be a bald headed gay alien skulled faggot.

 

[SubhumanCurrycel]

Bro if your sex drive is dying ur test levels are likely taking a hit. gtfo off that shit before u turn into a soycuck or look into other drugs to manage that.

 

[Mediocre Normalfag]

It can (and eventually will) give you limp/numb dick and also lower energy levels.

 

[JameshetfieldOnRoids]

It can't affect ur dick size, not possible. But it can lower the erection quality which results with shorter dick while erected.

 

[NorwoodMilitant]

You likely won't need to take finasteride forever to keep your hair. Something better should come out in the next 10 years or so

Yeah it might lower libido a bit, but that can be offset with hard exercise + supplements + not 24/7 thinking about whether you have ED or not lol

Hair is everything even if you're chico

 

[Morpheus]

Everyone who takes it always seems to mention that their libido went down noticeably and yet people still try to push the narrative that it’s only a small percentage of users who experienced side effects.

My experience

 

[Truemaxxer]

Stack your dose up asap..

WTF its 5mg a day or death..

 

[changeisnigh]

forgot to mention that i sorta still think about my ex while im fucking. this new girls a lot hotter but i don't have that romantic/intimate connection that i had with my ex.

just castrate yourself for some hair follicles that won't change your pheno, facial bones or coloring theorem.

hair> erections

 

[dingodongo]

As I said in another thread fin sexual sides are not as simple as too little or too much testosterone/dht/estrogen. It literally permanently destroys the receptors in some people and there is no way back from there. Your dick can shrink even when you start having less frequent erections. Think about it. That's why jelqing works. There's literally a thread below my reply window

Finasteride shrunk my dick by .7 inches bonepressed(when fully erect) and it is harder to get decent erections now

What are you going to do with your hair that you will probably inevitable lose anyway if you can't even be a man and fuck a girl after that? Imagine being in a situation where coming off from the drug doesn't change anything. Instant rope.

 

[Deleted member 5185]

Imagine taking fin, just lol. Dangereous drug with unknown side effects. Just accept your bald fate or get a hair transplant.

That's the point. It can cause irreversible damage, known as the post finasteride syndrome.

Its the literal opposite of cope. Cope is ignoring dangerous side effects thinking you will ascend if you keep your hair. Thats the embodiment of cope.

AFAIK Fin has a lot of grey area side effects that might be more damaging than previously known, on top of the already heavy side effects that we do know of.

If you look like shit with hair you'll look like shit without hair. If you look good with hair you will look good without hair. If its "life is worth living" with hair and "rope" without hair, its in your head. Still waiting for a real world example of a legit GL guy looking like shit with a buzzed or razor shaved head.

The side effects are simply from having lower DHT, finasteride itself has no added side effects

Here is an overview of the normal side effects of taking finasteride. Its not really relevant if its from lower DHT or not, this is the potential side effects of taking the drug that is currently known. Then there are things that are uncertain / under contention or requiring more research, like lethal prostate cancer risk. In my mind, taking drugs that 1) Have these clear, known about and heavy side effects and 2) Have uncertainties regarding terminal illness causation to keep hair, thinking that it will make you ascend or somehow look awesome, while in reality nobody cares because it all about bones is bordering on comical.

 

[Gazzamogga]

Jfl if you still take that shit after it's messed with your dick

Have fun living life as a tranny

Keep telling that to yourself. There are tons of people who are using DHT or its derivatives and testosterone after stopping fin and still cannot function.

Don't take fin, it's super dangerous, your dick will literally fall off.

Afaik there’s a study saying there’s no link between prostate cancer and Fin use

 

[Deleted member 5185]

Afaik there’s a study saying there’s no link between prostate cancer and Fin use

The studies show that there is around 35% lower overall risk of prostate cancer, but 68% higher risk of prostate cancer being aggressive and lethal. I'm sure there are studies going in the other direction as well, the point is that there are studies linking lethal prostate cancer with fin use. I'm not fucking with cancer risk, and neither should anyone else. Especially not for hair, money could be spent on bone surgery.

There are more recent studies that debunked that aswell. Of course prostate cancer is a serious matter itself but if Fin legimitely caused it, there would be more noise.
Most ppl are concerned about sexual side effects

Yeah stop with the bones bones bones thing. It doesn't work like that. Not everyone has Jason Statham pheno.

"
Dr Liaw shared a similar view: “When I review a lot of the literature myself, I find that that risk of developing a high-risk prostate cancer is definitely not as big of a risk as we had initially thought that it would have been if we based everything on that original finding about finasteride.”

However, Dr Liaw cautioned, if finasteride is to be recommended to patients, they will need to have regular prostate cancer screenings and be monitored. “[Use of finasteride in prostate cancer] is not a common practice right now, and so there has to be a little bit of learning as to what’s the right way for us to monitor these patients,” he said. “These are things that probably should be considered before people make big blanket statements that everyone should potentially be on finasteride to help with reducing prostate cancer risk.”

"

So it seems you are right, there have been one big study about a year ago, but I personally would not be comfortable considering it is still a clear level of uncertainty regarding prostate cancer - and again, this is on top of the sexual side effects, which are already brutal enough.

Yeah stop with the bones bones bones thing. It doesn't work like that. Not everyone has Jason Statham pheno.

Jason Statham isn't even that GL, and it definitely doesn't have anything to do with pheno. You're showing photoshops of guys having the worst hair cut in existance, namely late stage NW / horseshoe pattern hair growth. Literally anyone will look bad with that. Make them completely bald and they will look a lot better, and easily outslay anyone with lower PSL than them with hair.

As I've said several times before, show me someone legit high PSL with hair who becomes unattractive to women with a buzzed or razor shaved head, or give me a bald guy that goes from unattractive to high PSL slayer by wearing a system. I'm still waiting.

Dont think Chico would look good bald. Not suitable for everyone especially if you are going for more pretty look, like DiCaprio, Johnny Dep, Chico or TikTok faggots.

Getting sexual side effects is enough of a reason to stop taking the pill. It depends how severe these sides are, some people choose to ride the wave and hope they disappear after some time, other people stop, but if it’s a significant change in libido/erection quality then I’d always suggest to stop. Your body warns you, you have to listen to it.

And of course it’s important how much people want to keep their hair. Some fellas are desperate and rightly so. Going bald at young ages (early/mid 20s) is literally like having cancer although you do not die, your appearance will. It’s incredibly hard to pull the bald look, I mean to look the same or better (lolz) while shaving your hair. Ljungberg is a good example here, he looks better bald than with hair.


I’ll give you an example since we’re here, like I said I am on Fin for one year and for months I’ve had (still have) this thing but I don’t know if it’s because of Fin. basically my ballsack is much more sensitive to hits than I remember it was. Basically if you slap my balls I get pain. I noticed sometimes this pain goes through a nerve or something to my kidneys. Initially I ignored this and thought its just fin fucking around but since it persisted for months I got worried. I looked up for answers on different hairloss forums and barely got any replies lol. So its not common. I also thought it might be hernia or some shit like that since I sit on a chair pretty much all day to work and got an awful posture but i don’t know what to say. I havent done any tests before taking fin or during it so at the moment i could be running a massive gamble and not be aware of it. It is what it is I guess. Maybe if i didn’t die since this sensitivity manifested first, i won’t die from now on.

Thats random as fuck bro, I have had the same sensation. But I also had/have enlarged veins/enlarged epidedymis or something, I'm getting ultrasound for it in two weeks. Especially the nerve thing.

Yeah if young then balding is worse because it makes you stand out too much, while its more normal later in life.

@JameshetfieldOnRoids I'm guessing its a photoshop, his headshape seems a bit weird. Even then, as suspected, he looks worse bald, but nothing suicide inducing. The bald edition can still easily get girls, especially considering he will rarely if ever stand in such extremely harsh lightning putting a shitton of focus on his bald head. Would you rope if you were that guy in the picture bald? And its not like he looked truly amazing in the before picture either. On top of that, most people, when they talk about balding, aren't late stage NW where a close razor shave is required - its likely most people can get away with a zero guard buzz cut ala Ljungberg, which would look a lot better.

 

[Lightbulb]

@MaherGOAT luckily for me it seems like the sensitivity is slowly fading. Fingers crossed.

Have you taken fin aswell or u got that rabdomly?

 

[homesick]

So if your dick stops working with taking fin, how the fuck am i supposed to keep my hair??

minox apperantely kills collagen also wtf

 

[Deleted member 5185]

No never took Fin, I had this issue seemingly out of nowhere after being very sedentary for a couple of months, only sitting in an office chair basically. It has faded and seems to be basically gone now since returning to a more active lifestyle, but I'm still getting the ultrasound to rule out anything dangerous. I also had some strange lower abdomen pulsating / weird sensation into left nut, sounds similar to your case.

Ofc its not something to rope and i would pick being bald over having prostate cancer yet hair is still a good thing. Ljungberg is looking good with that haircut but for example my hair is extremely dense but the hairline is going backwards completely. So i cant do Ljungberg haircut because of the hairline even though i have much more hair than him. I think it is best to go buzzcut and do SMP on the empty areas.

Yeah could be just sedentarism. Let me know what you getting in that ultrasound. Should be ok though.

Yeah I mean just to be clear, I don't think balding is irrelevant for how someone looks. Its obviously a big factor in how you look, and being bald is largely, except in some rare cases, a definitive negative. The issue is that many people on this site view hair as a "make or break it" kinda thing where good looking people suddently become unattractive because they are bald. Thats what I'm saying is wrong. Ugly with hair = ugly bald, GL with hair = GL bald. In both cases, bald is worse than with hair.

When you speak about your hairline, you're saying that its not just the temples receding but the whole hairline? Ljungberg, although old now, is completely bald and razor shaves.

The difference isn't that big. But its all about the bones.

Of course, the closer to average one is, the worse hair loss is. So if someone is slap bang average, it understandibly feels really bad to lose their hair. But the reality is that the person in question wouldn't really have any huge drop in overall SMV unless very young. Its mostly in their head.

i had 0 sides in 2 years

It’s cause Finasteride is lowering your dht and fucking your androgen receptors. Androgen receptors sometimes don’t recover and crash which results in the Syndrome, where your body can’t use testosterone.

Get off of Fin ASAP, it will only do more damage as time goes on. Get a dermaroller and use the shit out of it.
