Both Finasteride and Dutasteride reduce DHT and shrink the prostate, and improve BPH symptoms. However, both can have sexual side effects - reduction in sexual ability and desire. If these side effects are not an issue, why not choose either over some form of surgery?
Anyone on this forum have actual experience with either of these medications?

I've been taking finasteride for 3 years. has done wonders. Sis sometime difficult sometime. Libido has stayed pretty good which make a limp dick more frustrating.
My question is, how fast will prostate grow back after stopping finasteride.

I've been taking 5 mg a day for about 3 years without noticeable side effects and it works to reduce the size of the prostate. I would say that if one has had problems with side effects from any medication then this med may not be for you.
If you are aware of the possible side effects and you haven't experienced any sexual problems before taking it then it is a very effective medication for BPH and will definitely shrink the prostate.
Seems to me advice on a forum to take or not take a particular medication is not valid for everyone, do your research, weigh the risks, and do what is best for you...
