The current scientific evidence, which is hardly conclusive, is that in adults DHT plays an important role regulating hair and the prostate.

Surfing from that page I just discovered that you cannot donate blood while on finasteride. You have to stop for one
month before donating... Well that sucks.

Can finasteride also cause birth defects ?

If a pregnant mother were to make contact with Finasteride, yes it can cause birth defects. It's a drug approved only for men to take for hair loss or an enlarged prostate.

DHT also prevents men from getting b**ch tits and feminizing your body.

Yeah DHT kind of balances and counteracts estrogen levels so by lowering DHT your estrogen increases. Doesnt mean you will grow boobs though. Also propecia doesnt remove DHT you still have like 30 percent or a good amount left. Its not like its gone.
