New research finds finasteride causes penis shrinkage in rats
>A new study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine finds that male rats receiving oral finasteride treatment for four weeks had a 25% reduction in the weight of their penis (corpora cavernosa).

tru but has there been any research since to disprove it? or is it still in need of further clinical trial?

If you ever decide to overdose on Finasteride you will probably die, but yeah your penis will also shrink somewhat.

>>18480567
we already told you. rats are different to humans. they also got doses above anything a human would take. get over it bum.

Ok so we need anti-finasteride so I can grow my dingus bigger

>>18480589
25% and permanent + irreversible is a lot anon. that's not "somewhat."

>we already told you
you're one person samefagging though. there is no we, my low iq schizophrenic friend.
rodents are used in pharmacological studies because they possess remarkably close genetic and physiological similarity with humans.
white kids learn this in elementary/middle school, my brown third world shill friend.
>Rodents have long been the preferred species of lab animals in biomedical research, with sporadic experiments on common brown rats stemming back 150 years. Though laboratory animal research continues to pose ethical questions, particularly with respect to animal welfare, the scientific achievements linked to lab rats are innumerous. This primarily relates to the extraordinary anatomical, genetic, and physiological similarities between humans and rodents.

>they also got doses above anything a human would take.
it doesn't work that way, my low iq friend. the results shown in rat testing suggest the need for human clinical trials. it should be highly concerning that preliminary trials show a large incidence and 25% shrinkage of tissue.
it's very well medically established that finasteride reduces the size of the prostate, which is also male reproductive tissue by 20%.
it's also very well established that penile tissue in humans is responsive to dht.
rodent studies are showing penile tissue (the same kind as prostate tissue) shrinks by roughly the same amount.
this is highly concerning.
not something to handwave or dismiss.

You don't understand how research works or even what it is for. There is no 'proof' in science only evidence.
If you take a bunch of rats and put them on fin and none of them got their dick shrunk or whatever that wouldn't 'disprove' the previous research, it would only get more evidence. Learn what research is for before posting

anon if there is evidence it shrinks penile tissue in rats and it is well established that finasteride shrinks male reproductive treatment (the prostate) by the same amount. it's also well established that penile tissue is responsive to dht...
isn't that something people should know?
the last two days you have spent 14 hours sperging about people sharing accurate medical information about the health risks of finasteride and ketoconazole.
what kind of job do you have that gives you the free time to do that 5 nights a week right in the middle of the work day?

>You don't understand how research works or even what it is for.
anon...
you don't understand pharmacology and i'm educated on the topic. everyone can tell just from our posts. that's why you can't refute anything i'm saying with evidence.
anyone reading can tell that you're a know nothing tranny pedophile midwit who is having a freak out because you can't groom anymore. didn't you post child porn on /fa/ 3 weeks ago?
