I'm not saying this will happen, we just don't know, not enough data, and we will never know.
I'll be suprised if 150 men are willing to take finasteride/duta for 20y and go every week to make their junk measured and weighed,along with biopsies.This just won't happen.

And Merck surely do not know either.All the implications of DHT in human biology are not yet known.Reducing by 70-90% this essential hormone over the long term is not very satisfactory, we need new f*****g treatments

You were on it for a while BaldyBalderBald, did you notice anything? I was taking Saw Palmetto for a while and freaked out because I thought my erections were smaller, I was jacking off a ton though so I am not sure how accurate that was. I am on topical finestaride now, gonna see what happens.

What exactly do you mean? I am saying the majority of people who have their prostate removed end up having a smaller penis length than before they had it removed. With this statement being fact (multiple studies show this) then wouldn't finasteride and dutasteride shrink the penis at least somewhat because you are making the prostate smaller? Please reply.

That's due to scarring and retraction of the penis. The prostate has nothing to do with penis size. But if you cut out the entire prostate, reconnect the urethra, and stitch everything back together, the scarring and empty space from where the prostate used to exist will pull the penis internally, making it smaller.

Due to nerve damage from all the cutting during prostate removal, most guys who have a prostatectomy will also have decreased erectile strength, which will also make their erections smaller.
