Her Life Changed After Finasteride | A Woman’s PFS Testimony

In this episode of Moral Medicine, I sit down with Kassie — the first woman to come on the channel and share her experience with Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS).Kassie’s story is powerful, not only because it highlights the devastating effects this drug can have on women, but also because it shows the broader pattern we’ve seen with medications like finasteride, dutasteride, spironolactone, minoxidil, saw palmetto, and others.

She opens up about her life before the drug — active, sharp, strong, and happy — and how quickly everything changed after just a short course of finasteride. From cognitive decline, fatigue, insomnia, and joint pain to facial changes, skin issues, muscle loss, and even bone changes, her testimony underscores how deeply disruptive PFS can be to every aspect of someone’s life.

We also discuss:

The role of telehealth companies in prescribing high-strength compounds with little oversight.The lack of awareness and documentation by clinicians and why so many patients feel dismissed.

Why PFS in women remains underrecognized, despite more cases emerging.The importance of second opinions, research, and patient advocacy.

Kassie’s honesty and courage in speaking out help shine a light on the truth: PFS is not limited to men, and it is far more widespread than most realize.
