🔥Hot Take:
- While scientific consensus backs the speaker's claim that side effects are rare, his experience of '0 in 25' people having issues is statistically lucky given the 2-4% incidence rate of sexual dysfunction reported in clinical trials.
- The speaker's description of 'losing ground' despite treatment is a clinically recognized reality known as 'hair miniaturization' which can continue at a slower rate even while on DHT inhibitors.
