"Note that PDE 5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil) can improve blood inflow (to some extent – after tissue is lost it cannot relax smooth muscle that is no longer there) but will not repair leaky tunica albuginea. "

Does that mean that some muscle is destroyed in our penises?

there are recoveries… so dont panick. i believe the muscle is weak however its not destroyed…they probably overdosed the rat with fin fdor a long time…it works differently in humans.

is possible have not a mere echodoppler, but a penile corpora cavernosa endoscopy/biopsy?

There was a study performed at Wake Forest about 4 yrs showing it was theoretically possible to regrow penile tissue. Also, I remember a matrix type material from pigs has some some promise in rebuilding tissue. And hopefully stem cell treatments will improve over the next few years. Maybe out of one of those areas we’ll come up with something.

Well, theoretically it is…we will be old men since long when this is available in practice.

This is an assumption. If you have scientific evidence that finasteride functions differently on humans please post it. From your post it’s also obvious that you haven’t read the study as you didn’t state the dosing in the rats.

I don’t want to sound too harsh but this is obviously something an internet poster without complete information would state.

yes and this study also says they dont know what happened after stopping it…sooo this is also not very reliable.

The blog states:

In conclusion, while I as a simple individual cannot categorically affirm that finasteride induced DHT inhibition causes corpus cavernosal changes leading to erectile dysfunction, I do believe that there is enough data, which has been present for many years, to suggest that this is possible. Anecdotal reports by urologists suggest that they see patients with persistent symptoms frequently (one every few weeks at major medical centers), both while on and after discontinuation of finasteride, suggesting that this is a widespread problem that is underreported due to either embarrassment or ignorance. It is possible that as men who were previously exposed to finasteride without – at present – symptoms of sexual dysfunction grow older, corpus cavernosal structural changes in these men will cause them to have much earlier onset of ‘normal’ erectile dysfunction, as they have decreased residual/reserve function.

you state:

See the difference?

That is some very good scientific data on that page, we should have that article stickied on this site if it already isn’t somewhere.

The images come from here. We can’t make any conclusions based on rats who were treated with massive amounts of fin for 4 weeks. It’s an old study and its goal was different.
