What the fuck! A British study of the British Medical Journal (BMJ), on behalf of whose first author dr.s K.W. Hagberg, epidemiologist at the Boston University School of Public Health in Lexington, Massachusetts demonstrates says that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (Finasteride, Dudasteride etc) do NOT cause sexual dysfunction in humans!
The conclusion of the study: “5-α reductase inhibitors do not seem to significantly increase the risk of incident erectile dysfunction, regardless of indication for use. Risk of erectile dysfunction increased with longer duration of benign prostatic hyperplasia.” (Katrina Wilcox Hagberg, Hozefa A Divan, Rebecca Persson, J Curtis Nickel, Susan S Jick, Risk of erectile dysfunction associated with use of 5-α reductase inhibitors for benign prostatic hyperplasia or alopecia: population based studies using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, 22 September 2016).
Another study recent conclusion from dr.s K.W. Hagberg Made in March 2017, London, United Kingdom at EAU Congress confirms:
"In a large, 20 year, real world observational study, 5ARI therapy for BPH did not significantly increase the risk of clinically meaningful incident ED or depression compared to treatment with ABs only. Risk of ED and depression increased with longer duration of BPH. Use of 5ARIs increased the risk of gynecomastia, but not BrCa, compared to AB use and no exposure" (Hagberg K.W., Divan H.A. , Persson R. ,Fang S.C. , Jick S.S. , Nickel J.C., Impact of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia on erectile dysfunction, treated depression, gynecomastia, and breast cancer: A real world 20 year observational study Eur Urol Suppl 2017; 16(3);e919)
Article in Italian (for Italian) he has the grotesque, we would be influenced by the labeling of the drug! And an erectile dysfunction is observed only in cases of prolonged prostatic hyperplasia independently of the use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors! What the fuck!
"Finasteride e dutasteride sono due inibitori della 5-alfa reduttasi, approvati e diffusamente prescritti nel trattamento dell’ iperplasia prostatica benigna. Il primo è stato approvato e viene indicato anche nel trattamento dell’alopecia. Molti pazienti, soprattutto giovani che utilizzavano finasteride a basso dosaggio (1 mg) per curare l’alopecia, avevano segnalato, come effetto negativo del farmaco, la disfunzione erettile. Questo, probabilmente, anche influenzati dalla segnalazione in etichetta del farmaco, sull’eventualità di effetti collaterali sessuali compresa la disfunzione erettile. Lo studio ha dimostrato che una disfunzione erettile si osserva solo nei casi di iperplasia prostatica prolungata nel tempo, indipendentemente dall’uso di inibitori della 5-alfa reduttasi. Ancora più evidente, visto i limitati dosaggi somministrati, è l’uso di finasteride nell’alopecia, dove eventuali disfunzioni sono assolutamente indipendenti dall’uso del farmaco."

What the fuck! So all of us, are we crazy? It’s a Joke?
