Finasteride and birth defects

I’ve been on fin for 5 years now. My wife and I were blessed with the birth of our son yesterday. However something happened after he was born and the doctors went to check for any abnormalities. They said he was perfect and there’s nothing wrong with his junk! I’ve read so many random posters fearmongering over the years trying to connect a rat study that causes some issues to being a reason people should get off fin for months when trying to have kids. I spoke with multiple fertility clinics and physicians and none of them ever were worried about fin having an effect on fetal development. I asked multiple clinicians at the hospital about it as well after birth and they simply laughed it off.

I now have 2 kids that have been conceived on fin and I never took a day off. Please don’t go down the Reddit rabbit hole of listening to anonymous posters and go ask actual physicians if you’re ever worried. People try to correlate and spread fear, think for yourself and use common sense.

Today, doctors can’t advise a patient to follow your advice because, statistically, someday, some newborn baby will have some defect, and the father will blame the doctor who prescribed finasteride and the drug for the abnormality in his baby, regardless of your experience. I would rather refer men who ask me to read your post. Thanks for your openness.
