Does anyone know if spironolactone causes permanent infertility in men? I have a tone of it but I'm hesitant to use it because I do intend to have a family eventually. I know it causes gyno, testicular atrophy and decreased sperm count while on the medication, but I can't find any info on the long term fertility effects.

It’s steroidal, I wouldn’t take my chances with it.

Since I am castrate, should I start taking mk 677 to increase igf1 along with microneedling.
I shouldn't have any issues since I've killed the root source of androgenic alopecia.
So if I used both mk 677 and microneedling shouldnt my hair get stronger every cycle?
I am also taking it to have larger breasts.

I am afraid you haven't killed the root source, because there are more than one root source for T (I know of 3). Your castration suppressed one pathway to generate T (gonadal) but the adrenal production is still present. Castration chemical or physical won't block that one. if you are subject to Androgenetic Alopecia, you still need to worry about DHT in your scalp, castrated or not. You can increase igf-1 if you want to, and nothing has demonstrated that it's better for hair Having less igf-1 has proven to be bad for hair (igf-1 deficiency) but having more didn't show a better outcome for hair. There are anecdotal mentions of mk-677 to help with hair growth but these are no studies (MPMD claims his hair grow faster but he is the same dude who claims he had no results with topical E2!)

Int that case, it won't matter. NSAA just works differently. but procreating while on any AA is not recommended. Even 5AR inhibitors like Fina/Duta can cause issues.
The effects of the AA drugs on sperm production are reversible (spironolactone is terrible AA but it is still an AA) but it takes time to completely purge it out of your system. So to be safe, go freeze your sperm in a sperm bank.

Steroids can cause HPTA suppression.
Have you noticed any results using Serenoa repens?
