Some of the disorders such as prostate enlargement and male seborrheic alopecia may become worse after Finasteride Tablets are discontinued.
Finasteride tablets can inhibit the conversion of testosterone to the more active dihydrotestosterone, which then reduces the size of the enlarged prostate and repairs damaged hair follicles, but the above diseases may recur and worsen after stopping the drug.
1. Recurrence and aggravation of prostate enlargement, after stopping Finasteride, the content of dihydrotestosterone in the prostate will be gradually restored, and the stimulation of dihydrotestosterone will stimulate the prostate to enlarge again and cause patients to urinate more frequently, urgency and other symptoms to aggravate.
2. Male seborrheic alopecia, if the male body dihydrotestosterone content is high, dihydrotestosterone will stimulate the hair follicles to atrophy and cause hair loss, and finasteride can promote the recovery of the hair follicles by lowering the content of dihydrotestosterone, if the discontinuation of finasteride, men’s body dihydrotestosterone content will be elevated again, and cause hair loss to recur and aggravate.
Finasteride in the treatment of disease should be standardized use, specific medication should be under the guidance of a doctor, to avoid recurrence or aggravation of the condition.
