Serious question

So we are on finasteride and it can give us side effects...

When having sex with my girlfriend, I don't use condoms so the semen ends up inside of her, does anybody know if this can affect her health in any way?

Sorry if it is raunchy but it is a serious question I have been wondering. Thanks guys.

If I remember correctly, the studies that show the effects of finasteride on female reproductive organs were carried out with mice.

You have to understand that, translated in human terms, the amount of finasteride used in those studies would be like overdosing on it. So, in extremely high doses, there is an effect.

If I'm not wrong, 1mg dose results in a trace of finasteride in the semen, but it's a negligible amount.

I had been on finasteride for many years and it never affected the women I was with. My wife and I even had a healthy baby (she's 3 now) while I was taking it. In my experience, it doesn't affect the woman when you are having unprotected sex.
