Doctor has suggested me finesteride 1mg for hairfall, does it cause infertility in men, after long term of usage?

No. 1 mg a day should have no short term or long term side effects.

Challenges to fertility and related side effects may happen with finasteride, but they’re not as common at that dose - 1 mg for hair - than at higher doses for other conditions. Also, if they do happen, a person’s normal function typically returns to where it had been before if he started taking the drug.
