I've been on 5mg Finasteride daily for over 5 years, for BHP.
I would say it has had some effect on the BHP, but not eliminated it completely.
It's difficult to say if it had any effect on helping boob growth, and it certainly hasn't stopped their volume reduction after stopping PM.
It has had zero effect on male pattern baldness - I have noticeably less head hair now than I had 5 years ago!

Hi, Pansy,
Not sure it would help - head hair being what it is - but ask the Doc about Dutasteride.
I had similar issues, and Dad had a bad operation for BPH...

There are two paths for T to convert to DHT. Finasteride blocks one path; Dutasteride blocks most of the second, too. Dutas is better at blocking DHT, basically, so would make sense to ask. I would guess that DHT comes from the testes and the adrenals. The mechanism maybe affects which T is converted, basically. So, Finasteride blocks the Testes origin; Dutasteride blocks the adrenals as well, mostly. 97%, I think it was.

Finasteride had almost no effect on me; dutasteride helps. (But head hair is too far gone for me. :-( )
