I am taking finasteride for bph.

of course part of the reason for me to take it is that I have elevated psa levels which the drug reduces, and I believe there is a chance that if I may have a higher risk of prostate cancer that the drug may reduce. I am also aware of the fact that it probably doesn't reduce the chance of getting an aggressive form.

I think what the drug may do is delay the non aggressive forms so the ones that are diagnosed would tend to be the more aggressive type.

but who knows.

I also have regrown hair in a place that I had a bald spot so it isn't all bad.

fwiw, if I didn't have bph I wouldn't take the drug. I agree that if you have no disease it shouldn't be taken for cancer prevention. The fact that it can regrow hair means that it may be doing something else to my body that I don't care for, but haven't figured out what it is.
