PROPECIA: DOES IT AFFECT PENIS GROWTH

[Tman]

I have read that DHT is the hormone that is responsible for penis growth. Since Propecia inhibits DHT production, do you think it could prevent penis growth. I am 18 so i don't know if there is still more time for growth. Do you think there is still a possibility of more growth, and should I stop taking Propecia?

Not gonna lie, I was worried about this too when I was on it(19). No idea if there's any link to it, but not worth the risk IMO. Too young to be inhibiting hormones.

I think the general consensus in this forum is that someone in his teens shouldn't use propecia.

On the penis thing. Most sources put the end of puberty between 18 and 21. I grew very fast between 14-16 and stopped at 16, some of my friends kept growing until 21. So, you just don't know, you might have a growth spurt.

I asked a question about Propecia in the side effects forum but apparently no one really goes there anymore and this is among the most frequented forums so, I'll ask my Propecia question here.

Does your libido dictate how well Propecia is working for you? Meaning, if it gets higher, Propecia is making you lose more hair, if it stays the same, Propecia is doing little to no work, and if you're losing your libido, Propecia is working to some extent? Reason I'm asking is, higher libido is associated with reflex hypoandrogenicity, which is when you lose more hair as a result of using Propecia.

Not gonna lie, I was worried about this too when I was on it(19). No idea if there's any link to it, but not worth the risk IMO. Too young to be inhibiting hormones.

Versus being too young to be balding. :/

Yeah I have the same shitty problem, I started at age 19 and my d*ck was still growing and then it stopped. Also Im worried the development of my body has stopped/slowed because of it.

But I dont wanna stop finasteride because it has helped me. And Im nof finally getting at some acceptable form of hair.

I had/have the idea to switch to xandrox 15 plus, that contains fina but since you apply it topically, maybe it doesnt my body as much.

Well hopefully someone can answer my question.

Also does anyone realize that Propecia is a pain in the *** to get out of the bottle (ryan?) because of those damn absorb-it cans? I f*cking hate those things.

 

[ryan r]

What do you mean?

 

[Vigaku]

When you're trying to get the Propecia out of the bottle.

Surely you don't stick your hand in there. It won't fit. For that reason you have to "splill" the pills in your hand. Obviously you try to just get one each day.

Those godamn ABSORB-IT cans get in the freaking way all the time so I have to like, shake the bottle sometimes.

 

[ryan r]

Well I use proscar and it comes in strips, I just press them through the plastic and then I cut them.

Propecia is way to expensive for me

lol yah I know what you're talking about, they're annoying as f***. I think only the brand name propecia bottles come with 'em

 

[Vigaku]

And what's interesting is I don't even get rid of them (ABSORB-IT cans) because I've heard they're beneficial or something. They're supposed to absorb moisture in the bottle. I looked at them but it doesn't seem they have any openings for moisture to go into. Wierd, and Propecia is supposedly INSOLUBALE in water, yet .001% of moisture in the air is supposed to affect them? Right. Kiss my *** ABSORB-IT cans, no longer will I leave my house 45 seconds later because of your meaningless existence. Go to hell *tosses ABSORB-IT cans in the trash*.

I'm worried about the same thing. If I just use 1 mg a day for a month, will my penis growth have stopped already?

 

[Fanjeera]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropenis -- it's written there clearly that messing with DHT is causing decrease in penis size. And I'm reading every where that penile growth stops in the age of 19 to 22. That's sad news for me and all the other teenage finasteride users -- we will have micropenises. I hope one week of 1 mg a day is still recoverable, because I'm off this horrible drug.

Piss off with that micropenis crap, Fanjeera. 9 days of finasteride did not make your penis shrink.

Are you sure your penis wasn't small to begin with?

 

[ComeOnPropy]

lol. That is all i can do at this thread. There is no way Propecia would cause micro-penis. Better yet show me one document or study that shows this.

and guys please stop putting all caps in titles...

 

[Axl_Rose]

Cassin maybe you should change Fan's sig so it has the micropenis link to wiki or so it just says "Micropenis" since that's all he ever goes on about.

 

[Fanjeera]

Just read about people's experience with Propecia. There are so many sufferers.

 

[Tman]

ok, fanjeera no one is going to get micropenis. I just want to know if anyone has had growth since they were 19 which would make me want to wait to take propecia for a few years.
