Finasteride is one of the most common drugs used in androgenetic alopecia. The literature discusses the sexual side effects of the drug; however, in practice there is little evidence to support this. The aim of the present study was to investigate the sexual dysfunction in patients taking finasteride 1 mg for androgenetic alopecia.
A questionnaire, based on the International Index of Erectile Function, was given to approximately 586 patients with androgenetic alopecia who were being treated with finasteride 1 mg for an average of 16 weeks. These patients were compared to an age-related control group who were attending the Dermatology Out Patients Department for various other skin ailments not related to hair disorders.
Statistical analysis of the results showed no significant difference in the scores between patients taking finasteride and the control group.
Analysis showed no significant difference in sex-related problems with that of patients taking finasteride and age matched controls, suggesting that sex-related issues are not a side effect of finasteride.
非那雄胺是治疗雄激素性脱发最常用的药物之一。文献中讨论了该药物的性副作用;然而,在实际应用中,几乎没有证据支持这一点。本研究的目的是调查服用1毫克非那雄胺治疗雄激素性脱发的患者的性功能障碍情况。
基于国际勃起功能指数设计了一份问卷,发放给约586名正在接受1毫克非那雄胺治疗、平均治疗时间为16周的雄激素性脱发患者。将这些患者与一个年龄匹配的对照组进行比较,该对照组是因各种与毛发疾病无关的其他皮肤疾病前往皮肤科门诊就诊的患者。
对结果的统计分析显示,服用非那雄胺的患者与对照组的得分没有显著差异。
分析表明,服用非那雄胺的患者与年龄匹配的对照组在性相关问题上没有显著差异,这表明性相关问题不是非那雄胺的副作用。
