finasteride and serious sides.

I was reading up on the various studies about Finasteride sides and what stuck out the most was how the more serious sides seem have inconclusive findings. I'm referring to things such as cancer risk, dementia and long term/permanent sexual sides. Sure, ther's nothing in the findings that says ther's a high chance of getting anything this serious from taking finasteride (otherwise nobody would take it) however ther's also nothing to tell us exactly how likely you are of developing these sides. They just don't seem to know and ther's also some conflicting information in the various studies. Furthermore, some of the articles listing the potential sides for finasteride don't even mention these particular sides; It's almost like because the findings for these sides were inconclusive they don't matter!
Why do people think this is? Is it perhaps because the drug hasn't been around long enough to fully understand the long term effects? Maybe more studies need to be done. I don't know about you guys but I don't like being unsure about things like cancer and dementia.

I really don't give a ****, to be honest. I need hair now when I'm young and life is supposed to be fun. What happens later is less important to me. I'm banking on stem cells and all this anti aging research to offer cures for many things. Finasteride really sucks though. In my experience it's more successful at growing breasts than hair. It's bull****. It needs to be replaced seriously fast with a much safer and more effective drug.

I'd just ignore any warnings about sides for finasteride. You're not likely at all to experience any side effects. I started taking it about a month ago, and nothing so far. Completely normal. And I'm already seeing results. Try it for yourself and see if it works.

I am not sure sure what your point is after reading that 3 times. More studies need to be done for sure, but there will never be a definitive answer for how finasteride interacts with everyone and their infinitely complex genetics

Where is there a study analyzing propecia use and cancer risk, that came back inconclusive?

Please provide location of the studies you are referring to.
