Effects of taking finasteride while in puberty?

[cocojambo]

Hello guys!

I'd like to know which are the effects of inhibiting DHT as a developing teen(16 years old).

Thanks.

Not advisable

You are still developing. Don't do it.

probably interrupted penis and scrotum development, bone structure, voice, you may stunt your growth, you might not grow a full beard (if you were supposed to). i mean my beard grows alot slower now that im on finasteride.

Basically everything that happens in puberty will most probably reverse or be stunted if you take finasteride, its a potent male hormone used MAINLY for development of a male in puberty, it really isnt advisable at all.

I think it would only stunt body and facial hair, your bones only have 5 alpha reductase type 1 so I doubt you would see a stunting of bone structure.

If you hit puberty early you should be fine, but waiting until 18 is probably best.

As far as I know penis growth is done by the time you're 16 and the only thing that would bother me from your list is the facial hair,but I'd rather have hair on my head rather than on my face.
