Discussions include references to specific studies and concepts like the 'top-down' effect, indicating a thoughtful and inquisitive approach.

Abstract in brief
- The study found that patients who were informed about potential sexual side effects of Finasteride 5 mg (group 2) reported significantly more issues like erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and ejaculation problems compared to those who were not told about these risks (group 1), indicating a possible nocebo effect.
- The incidence of sexual side effects in the group that was informed was very high—up to 96% for ED—suggesting that patient awareness and expectations may influence the perceived severity or occurrence of these side effects.
- The research aims to explain the discrepancy between lower reported side effects in clinical trials versus higher rates observed in everyday practice, highlighting how patients’ expectations and information about side effects can impact their actual experiences.]
