Does finasteride make you infertile?

[Loony]

As i just wrote the title of this thread i realized impotent and infertile are not the same thing (for the past 22 years ive actually confused these 2 just to find out the truth after a google search). Without the google search the title would be "Does finasteride make you impotent?" which is obvious.

But im still coping with the question anyway:

Does finasteride make you infertile?
- And if so, (because that was actually what i thought until the google search of the difference between impotent and infertile) why do you all risk getting unhealthy or even NO children?

If it doesn't make you infertile i'll actually hop on it tomorrow and all my fears of the medicine are gone.

You all to embarassed to admit? Or you dont want a brother to keep his long curly 90% density coupe?

Look at actual studies and speak to a urologist. No it doesn't make you infertle.

You aren't keeping that coupe without it though that's for damn sure.

I was told by a transplant doctor that it does decrease your sperm count, and studies seem to confirm it.

As I have learned through my doctor and medical documentation,
A reduction of the sperm count is actually a very very minor possibility.
What can more than likely be decreased by a bigger percentage of men using Finasteride is SEMEN.
The reduction of semen does not necessarily change the amount of ones sperm count.
That is my only side effect from using Fin' since 2013, the reduction of semen only.
My sperm count is the same and my desires are still the same!
My wife knows that -lol.
I have NO bad side-effects to this day from its use.
My hair has been slowly improving over time.

Last month I reviewed my 'hairloss' file photos that I had begun in 2013 because I finally added on recent photos of mine.
I had not looked at those particular 2013 pics in a long long time (I live my life without worry).
When I did,
I was astonished at just how much my hair has been improving due to the use of Finasteride.
Cheers all....

Semen definition- "the male reproductive fluid, containing spermatozoa in suspension".

Thanks a lot artista. One more question,

So are you not allowed to have children while on finasteride or its possible? And to have healthy children? Im asking this because (unless outdoors or prstits) i never use protection and almost had a baby once already. So its always possible wether she takes the pill or not believe me man and nobody wants to have that kind of life for their children if it couldve been avoided (by not taking fina).

[Artista]

That is a good question to ask!
I personally don't know anything about that part of it
(my wife and I are older now-no more children for us-lol)
but there are other good members hear that objectively know how to respond to that.

With all of these finasteride users over here there's no one who can/wants to answer it?

i think no one here can answer that question 100% correct. but YES THERE IS A CHANCE that you will be infertile... so it is up to you.. I am not going to sugarcoat stuff for you..
