Senior Member follically challenged Posted March 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2021 Random question, but i just wondered if fin has any connection with kidney problems? (for the record i'm not on fin) I've heard it can be problematic for SOME people and their liver, yet I can't find any concrete evidence that is connected to kidney problems (google seems to show all kinds of answers for this) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted March 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2021 I haven't come across any patients having kidney issues while on oral finasteride. 1 My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2021 If you google finasteride and problems, you’ll no doubt get hits on google people blaming everything on fin, if their spouse left em it’s cause of fin. Lost their job, fin. Now, I don’t take fin because I was one of the unlucky ones to get side effects, but other than unwanted sexual sides and fertility issues while on it- fin is safe. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

So, another question then, if i may ask, what sides did you get to make you decide to stop..? And are you totally sure it wasn't the no-cebo thing? Also, I was pretty sure I'd heard there were NO fertility issues while on fin...i thought studies had been done on that....maybe i heard wrong..

No, there’s proof that it does reduce sperm count, it doesn’t make you completely infertile, but it can make it harder for you to conceive. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Please let us know if you come across this Dr. Rassman posted a couple links on his blog recently. No idea what they really mean because I don't really read medical literature https://baldingblog.com/potential-long-term-effects-of-finasteride-and-dutasteride-discussed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
