Is the excess Testosterone resulting from finasteride dangerous?

[JohnC43]

By preventing t from converting to DHT via 5AR inhibition, are the side effects of infertility and diminished due to toxic levels of t in the body forcing t production to completely shut down due to excess? http://www.propeciahelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1049&highlight=excess+t

The modest amount of extra testosterone that you get while taking finasteride is apparently due to an actual upregulation in testosterone production. Your brain is telling your testes to make more of it.

We're only talking about very modest amounts of extra testosterone, like on the order of about ~10% or so. We're not talking about the HUGE amounts of steroids that bodybuilders are prone to use!
