Regular Member jooeey Posted March 26, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted March 26, 2018 Some of the Possible Side Effects described about taking Finasteride is it can lead to Prostate Cancer and can develop Male Breasts is what I have read ! How true are these side effects ? Does it really do this ? If yes, after taking for how long can this happen ? Are there any studies on this ?

Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted March 26, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2018 This has been discussed a thousand times. Especially the first one (cancer) is a misquote from the studies. Most studies actually showed a reduction in prostate cancer. 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 26, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 26, 2018 What about developing Male Breast ? Sagging Chest ? Finasteride does not cause prostate cancer, it can however make it harder to detect, in regards to gynocomastea, yes it can occur it’s a possible side effect, finasteride essentially blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT, however the conversion to estrogen will still occur, this side effect is rare, and probably the least reported side effect I’ve seen anecdotally.
