About 4 months ago I remember not being able to urinate when I wanted to , this lasted only for a week or so , but it did happen when I was on finasteride. Reading over some online material I came across a paragraph which mentioned that:
"Even though both finasteride and dutasteride were developed to combat benign prostatic hyperplasia by reducing DHT in prostate tissue, some scientists question the wisdom of using these 5-alpha reductase inhibitors in younger men who have no problem with their prostates. A research chemist, Patrick Arnold, says “Evidence is mounting that the existence of a high estrogen/androgen ratio – a condition common in older men – is highly correlated with the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).â€
I'm young(19) with no prostate problems and had trouble urinating at these times , which is a common syptom of (BPH):
"When sufficiently large, the nodules compress the urethral canal to cause partial, or sometimes virtually complete, obstruction of the urethra which interferes the normal flow of urine."
Should I be worried?
