We know that neurosteroids are heavily affected by those who have PFS and take finasteride. Figured I'd share a study showing that exercise increases DHT, via increasing 5ar1 and 5ar2 together in various brain regions.
"Furthermore, analysis of mRNA expression for the two isoforms of 5α-reductases (srd5a1, srd5a2) and for androgen receptor (AR) revealed that both increased in the hippocampus after exercise"
I've been doing sprints 3x per week. About 25 seconds all-out and then 90-180 seconds rest between sets. I do 4-8 sets depending how I feel. It takes a solid hour to recover, where you lay down and feel disoriented and are breathing deeply and heavily, but after that, I feel really good and my sex drive, libido and even penis size all have improvements, massively. Now, I wasn't a libido sufferer from PFS, it was all cognitively, but I wanted to share this with you guys.
This type of exercise, HIIT specifically, these sprints, are also providing the body with massive benefits. It increases the amount of energy your mitochondira produce, which we all need, and it also increases their mitochondrial biogenesis. I imagine this is also increasing our bodies ability to use Co2.
