Sperm Quality and Finasteride – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

Hey Doc

You run a super little website on the gamet of hair topics. If I could pick your brain or seek your opinion.

Merck wont be too forthcoming. Obviously there is some info floating out there that there is no real toxicological risk if man conceives with a woman. However are there now reports out there stating that the “quality of the sperm” is affected by taking finasteride. Meaning number of sperm, motility and I even wonder if you have a higher ratio of having a female birth over a male

What are your honest thoughts on this topic? Mighty thanks

From what I am aware of, finasteride 1mg does not affect sperm quality or have a propensity to increase the chances for conceiving a female child. There is no scientific basis behind this.

As I am not adding much information for you, I will write to Merck for a response to your question and appropriate references and then post the answers that they send me.
