Taking Finasteride Whilst Having A Micro Penis?

jtibbz99 · Mar 6, 2019

Hi all,
I'm 18 and am going through a rough patch atm. Firstly, unfortunately I have a micro penis meaning its like an inch long when soft and 3 inches long when erect. It has not grown since I was 13.
And in addition, since early last year I've been losing my hair badly. The hairline has receded and I've lost quite a bit of hair on the top, it looks very patchy now. Would the two issues be related by any chance?

I started taking finasteride two months ago and was wondering whether it would affect penis growth, in the rare event that my penis grows a little bit in the future?

thanks

Don't take finasteride
I would look into using Clascoterone aka CB

I've been looking into this. I'm average size and don't want to lose it. I believe that penile atrophy is caused by loss of nocturnal erections. The exact mechanism behind nocturnal erections is a mystery though. If finasteride causes any erection issues for you then you should find alternatives.

Effect of penile size on nocturnal erections: evaluation with NPTR testing with men having micropenis
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15690064/

Comparison of the results of NPTR of control group with study group revealed that number and duration of erectile episodes (P < 0.001), duration of tip rigidity > 60% (P < 0.01), TAU tip and TAU base (P = 0.001), and RAU base (P = 0.01) were found to be significantly lower in men with micropenis. In conclusion, our study showed that men with micropenis are associated with decreased nocturnal erectile activity.
