非那雄胺片会影响性功能吗？非那雄胺的副作用

Finasteride can reduce the size of the prostate, thereby improving symptoms and preventing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is a 4-azasteroid compound and one of the commonly used drugs for the treatment of androgenic alopecia. Finasteride requires long-term use to show its effect. Today we will learn more about whether finasteride tablets will affect sexual function? What are the side effects of finasteride?

Finasteride tablets, as a long-term medication, still have the risk of potential side effects, especially for fertility. Finasteride inhibits the production of male hormone function. These symptoms include loss of sexual desire, testicular pain, abnormal ejaculation, other allergic reactions, etc. However, these symptoms will return to normal after stopping the drug, and there will be no permanent damage and no impact on fertility. If you want to have a baby, it is recommended that both husband and wife stop taking medications 3-6 months before preparing for pregnancy.

Adverse events reported with finasteride include breast tenderness or enlargement, testicular pain, and allergic reactions (including hives, rash, itching, and swelling of the lips). Erectile dysfunction or impotence, gynecomastia, allergic reactions, depression, decreased sexual desire, etc., which means that finasteride tablets will affect sexual function, but it can be restored after stopping the drug.

Patients should also note that finasteride tablets are type II 5α-reductase inhibitors that inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in certain tissues. Therefore, such inhibitors (including finasteride) can cause malformations of the external genitalia of male fetuses if used in pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant women and children should not come into contact with finasteride tablets.
