penis growth during purberty depends on dihydrotestosterone or testosterone? |
Issue I know some of you are experts about this,so give some expertise on: what dose penis grow depends on during puberty? dihydrotestosterone or testosterone? Best Tip Finasteride (1mgPropecia, 5mgProscar) is a strong inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme which hydrogenates testosterone, creating DHT in vivo. PDR advises care to prevent exposure of pregnant women and their male babies to finasteride out of concern that penis development will be stunted. As finasteride actually keeps testosterone from being depleted and inhibits DHT production, it would appear that of the two, DHT would be responsible for penis growth. Somebody could have jumped to a conclusion, however. *All* the steroids in your body come from cholesterol. There is estrogen in males as well as testosterone in females. The mechanism of finasteride-induced penis-hypotrophy *may* be more complicated, involving more steroids than just testosterone and DHT. Correlation is not always equivalent to causation. If you are trying to grow your penis, be careful. This may be easy, or it may be complicated. Using steroids and messing around with the really delicate chemical controls that are your endocrine system is bad, mad science. Even an endocrinologist (especially an endocrinologist!) would be very reluctant to try something so crazy because he would appreciate the high risk involved. Radical endocrinology is as dangerous as disarming bombs!! [for patients and malpractice insurers] Others Neither. It grows along with the rest of your body. Its a muscle, and just as other muscles grow, so does your old fella. Stephen J is wrong. The penis is not a muscle. It is vascular tissue, for urination and copulation - nothing else. All muscles serve a purpose, and are contractile. The penis is not. |
