    Finasteride is a popular drug marketed to young men for male pattern baldness. In our latest podcast series, patients, their loved ones and clinicians speak about the devastating impact Post-Finasteride Syndrome has had on their lives.
    Post-Finasteride Syndrome is the current term for a rare syndrome of devastating physical, neurological, and sexual side effects which continue even after stopping finasteride. The condition occurs primarily in younger men who have taken the drug to treat hair loss. There is currently no effective treatment.
    PFS Network is the largest patient-led organisation and a registered charity. We aim to increase awareness of Post-Finasteride Syndrome and advance scientific understanding of what is a poorly understood and highly stigmatised disease.
    More research into Post-Finasteride Syndrome is desperately needed. Learn more about and support important new scientific research here: pfsnetwork.org/donate

      A big thank you to all the brave men who spoke out. And also thank you for putting all this together, Mitch! We have been in the shadows for too long. If all these stories had been out there in the past, I would have never taken Finasteride. All of you are heroes and saving lives, if we can tell people the true cost they risk when taking Finasteride.

    I’m another long-term sufferer from this drug. I quit over 11 years ago. My symptoms include chronic, debilitating fatigue, practically non-existent libido, severe muscle wastage, digestive issues (bloating, GERD, very slow transit), brain fog, very low body temperature (almost hypothermic at times), and probably 30+ other more “obnoxious” symptoms. This drug can definitely change your life and make you a shell (or worse) of your former self.

    I’ve noticed that the men interviewed on this channel almost instantly experience adverse effects (within 1-4 uses). Which leads me to believe there are men with genetic predisposition to the drug’s sides and should NOT take it. Has there been any research into this, and if not, why? There are many men who have no issues - but clearly, there are some men who should never ever touch this stuff. And how/why that’s not tested for beforehand is unfathomable.

If it were held for review by the channel owner I could still see it when signed in. Let me just pose a question, which I haven't found a good answer for: Does PFS happen to those on TRT trying to lower DHT, especially if one had similar symptoms to PFS decades earlier, years before TRT, after taking saw palmetto extract for one month, which took about two years to mostly recover from?
