Did Propecia Make Me Shrink in Height?
Hello Mr Rassmann,
I wonder if propecia causes to lose bone density.Maybe it seems unreasonable to you but after I have started using propecia at 17 years old, I believe that my height decreased.I am 20 right now. My height was 6ft 1 and now it is 6 ft.Is that possible? My last question is does propecia affect muscle size and muscle growth.I also think my muscles become weaker since I have been using that medication.
Thank you for your help
Propecia (finasteride 1mg) should not impact bone growth or muscle mass. It sounds like you need to see your doctor to get to the bottom of your problem. The solution is not with me over the internet.
For all the amateur anatomy/”genital shrinkage” experts and propecia bloggers, no….the penis does not contain a bone (despite the phrase ‘boner”. Really.
A fluctuation of height could also be attributed to the time of day when you measure it. The difference might be about as big as what you have noticed and is due to the compression of the spine and the movement of spinal fluid while you are standing or sitting. At a younger age, I would also imagine that the spinal disks might be more elastic and have more variability in their vertical length throughout the day than those of older people. Cheers.
