In the following commentary, we provided discussions regarding an article bublished by Albasher et al. (2020) concerning the effects of long-term use of finasteride on women. They reported some adverse effects, including abnormal levels in the steroid hormones, irregular menstrual cycles, and heavy menstrual bleeding. Some concerns exist in the study mainly concerning the sample, particularly its size and composition. The authors recruited Saudi women. Thus, the findings cannot be generalized. Their study can be seen as a starting point in this regard. Even though the concerns can restrict the study, their study is still credible addressing critical issues that need to be taken seriously by other researchers and stakeholders.
在下面的评论中，我们对 Albasher 等人（2020 年）发表的一篇关于非那雄胺对女性长期影响的文章进行了讨论。他们报告了一些不良反应，包括类固醇激素水平异常、月经周期不规律和月经过多。研究中存在一些关注点，主要是关于样本，特别是其大小和组成。作者招募了沙特女性，因此，研究结果不能推广。该研究可以被视为这方面的一个起点。尽管这些关注点可能会限制研究，但该研究仍然可信，它提出了一些需要引起其他研究人员和利益相关者重视的关键问题。
