Worth the read. Study form the Univeristy of Milan on Post-Finasteride syndrome released last year from tressless
We have known for some time that finasteride can alter brain function in some people as we side effect in a few patients that change mood. This article points out a mechanism in those patient with Post-finasteride syndrome (this is a very, very small subset of people who take finasteride, possibly less than 1:1000 people). […]
This is a condition that is reported when a young man was on finasteride and developed sexual and other side effects that did not go away. This syndrome is highly suspect because of the litigation going on with Merck and two important observations: (1) The drive to profit from a Class Action law suit is […]
The following is a comment from one of our readers: …”I think the following recent review in a respected, high-impact journal night be of interest to your readers. It underscores some of the points previously made by your reputable bloggers related to an issue of continuous concern: that sexual side effects from finasteride are uncommon […]
Let’s put things in to perspective. Just because a study or paper is published does not make things a fact. Many people use the Internet and find their “truth” or “proof” based on simple statements without really looking at what has been done or studied. Few ever think about the study parameters and the limitations […]
The exact number or statistics on erectile dysfunction (ED) may be of debate since most of these studies are based on self assessment and honestly reporting that they actually have ED. For example, if you wear women’s lingerie, have a small penis, or cheated on your spouse, etc would you honestly answer such personal or […]
This “Post-Finasteride Syndrome” suggests that there are persistent sexual, neurological, and physical side effects for some men when they stop taking the medication (Propecia). It sounds like it’s just a fancy name to wrap around the seemingly endless list of side effects that people on the internet are attributing to finasteride. The data that is […]
It feels like I’ve written about this dozens of times on the blog. Side effect incidence is rare and the recent hysteria is from a published article about 54 men that were interviewed (men that joined the study after being recruited from a forum created to complain about the drug). I think the power of […]

Peyronie’s syndrome reflect a deformity of the penis reflecting the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis that causes curved, painful erections. Penises vary in shape and size, and having a curved erection […]
3 years ago, we exchanged a friendly conversation on my troubles with Post-Finasteride Syndrome. I followed your advice back then and went to several specialists, who couldn’t help. Since then, I am still suffering tremendously (numb deformed genitals, zero arousal, severe ED, other physical symptoms such as a thinning beard…) after exposure to 5ARi treatment. […]
If I read correctly, Fin is not linked to cancer? This was just a misconception? Are there any other long term health side effects aside from mood and ED? You are correct. Most focused side effects have been focused on sexual side effects from finasteride. There are also depression, anxiety and cognitive complaints (brain fog) […]
Dr. Rassman’s Comments: There is some good reading here for those interested in finasteride and the many finding of things that go wrong with this drug. One of the referenced article reflect a single case study and show DNA damage to sperm. From any single case study, one can’t conclude that the finding is attributed […]
I’m 19 and I’ve been taking 1 mg of fin daily for one week. My libido has dropped and it takes forever to get an erection. I also have slight ball ache, watery semen, and possibly some headaches, but that’s probably just because I haven’t gotten enough sleep this week. I’m not paranoid to be […]
