My Doctor's visit regarding Propecia

[Quantum Cat]

Propecia is a barbaric drug. Period. We don't know what it does long term, and this guy is not a fool for being cautious. Low amounts of testosterone have been linked to tons of health problems in men.

well luckily for us, Finasteride doesn't inhibit testosterone. :bravo:

If so, the level of intelligence on this forum has reached a new low.

So if I am to read this quote you imply the intelligence level here was already low but now it is lower??? Just trying to understand what you meant.

No, it is the nature of the comments posted by some that are simply astounding in terms of their lack of thought, education, critical thinking and common sense.

That is what I meant, and that's just my personal opinion of course.

Unless of course it causes damage to the testicles. Which would lower your overall testosterone.
Would you prefer I said Low amounts of DHT could cause negative effects on a males long term health?

Low amounts of DHT may cause negative effects on a males long term health.

Completely and utterly untrue. If you're going to post such statements, post studies that prove your points.

Did you know that DHT is required for Nitric Oxide Synthase and thus Nitric Oxide production to occur correctly, since DHT levels mediate NO release?

Guess what function NO has in your body? Memory formation, aids with REM sleep, erectile function, tissue oxygenation and MUCH more.


5-alpha reductase inhibitors and erectile dysfunction: the connection.

" Sexual AEs are reported in clinical trials at rates of 2.1% to 38%. The most common sexual AE is ED, followed by EjD and decreased libido. These effects occur early in therapy and attenuate over time. A proposed mechanism for sexual dysfunction involves decreased nitric oxide synthase activity due to decreased dihydrotestosterone. "


DHT is also important for mainting spermatogenesis and FERTILITY in human males:

I could provide more examples but I think you get my point: DHT is the most potent male androgen and it serves many essential functions in the human body beyond simply "making your hair fall out".

It is clear you will simply spout off whatever disinformation you feel like with no evidence to substantiate your claims, so such tactics will be met by educated responses to disprove your arguments.
