Minoxidil Sexual side effects

[Xeux]

I know a lot of people always says that Minoxidil doesn't cause side effects but a made a research in a lot of foruns and many people are complaining about that, and i am one of those people...

I started using minoxidil for a month when i noted the side effects like low libido and Erectile disfunction, for the first time in my life i cannot have sex with a girl, and i see a lot of foruns and a lot of mens with the same problems, when i discover that was minoxidil the villain i immediatly stopped using, 1 weak later i had no more ED problems but my semen was like water so 1 weak working fine and the ED seems to be coming back and the watery semen is still on. I always was a very healthy with a great libido and it stopped a month after starts using it

Anyone have the same problem that me? Any advice about the recovery? I desesperated! (sorry about the bad english)

I was taking Monoxdil for half a year and was so frustrated at how I was getting a lot of the same side effects, except in my case, I had worse hair loss at certain points. It was very frustrating and felt like things couldn't get any worse until I ran into some erectile dysfunction issues myself. It really put a damper on the relationship I had with my girlfriend and I was desperately seeking solutions. At times, it seemed to be working for me in terms of preventing more hair loss, but I was looking for any kind of ED medication that could mitigate the effects of Monoxdil.

I tried some brand name ones and wasn't having much luck and felt I needed to use generics to save myself some money. The worst of these meds for me was one called Sliden, which I came across and all it gave me was some really bad vomiting at night and muscle cramps, so I really would advise staying away from any of those if they look really sketchy. I highly recommend consulting with your doctor first before going on any kind of alternative, generic brands. He'll able to perform tests on you to see how your testosterone levels are and what you'll need to counteract the effects of having elevated estrogen levels.

I also suggest you look up reviews of any of these medications you may find online, especially if you're going to trust in the cheaper alternatives. Looking at some reviews can help you make sure what you're buying is safe and is up standards. I've long stopped relying on generics and have been trying to improve my lifestyle, going to the gym much more often and finding more natural ways of counteracting the effects of erectile dysfunction and going on Fin really soon. I hope you're able to get your issues fully resolved as well.

Thanks for your feedback, i'm starting to get back to normal, made some exams and i saw a guy talking about a possible cause of this side efects and its a hormone called prolactin who causes this effects, my prolactin is 16,7 when the normal is the max of 15,2 so its probably the cause of this disfunctions on my body, the excess of prolactin on males body causes low libido and ED because is a female hormone and my Testosterone is 494,7 is normal but i guess a little low to a 22 y/o, i hope i can help someone with the same problem as me because i had some horrible weeks in my life. And again i'm sorry about my bad english.

It's psychological. It literally can't cause erectile dysfunction or anything like it.

I've been using Rogaine 5% for years... never had an issue getting an erection when on it...

[k9gatton]

Some people have ED on Finasteride (very rare though). Don't think Minoxidil is really doing that to you.

Cut the dosage in half, see if it comes back. To be honest, Minoxidil isn't very effective on its own any way.

Hello Xeux,

Are you fully recovered now? Was it the prolactin level the reason?

I'm having the same problems since 9 months. Basically, erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, penis numbness, and burning sensation. I am very scared this will not go away. I don't think its the hormonal levels. The minoxidil must have been absorbed through the scalp and then in some way it affected the nerves, muscle cells or arteries in the penis.
Any updates to your situations?
Can someone please suggest what to do?

How do you feel now friend??? In my case I only use Minoxidil for 1 WEEK! It's been 3 weeks since I left that poison, because of my low libido and erections, but in this 3 weeks I don't feel any better .
I'm scared this is going to be forever .

Hello LeoDeWitt,

I feel very bad, nothing has changed. I am still having libido problems and I have a burning feeling at the "glans penis". This is really a nightmare, I would never have thought that Minoxidil would lead to these kind of side effects. Soon after I applied the Minoxidil I developed these problems. Minoxidil was the only real change in my life, otherwise I am very healthy and don't do any drugs.
I must say that I am very angry at the people who say things like: "It's all psychological, in your head". Or: "Are you sure you did not take Finasteride?".

NO, I am 100% sure that I only applied Minoxidil, and Minoxidil is 100% responsible for these side effects.

Can I ask you: How old are you and did you apply 2% liquid or 5% foam? Where did you purchase your Minoxidil, from the pharmacy or the Internet?

[Hairhope4ever]

I personally only had sexual side effects from Propecia. I believe propecia has a stronger systematic effect. Regarding minoxidil, I have had nothing but positive experiences with it. I solely use the foam, and it has really helped my hair loss.

I bought it on the internet, it was Minoxidil %5, liquid.
I'm scared because I only use it for a week and the effects don't go .
How much time do you use it friend?

I used it 2 weeks, and the effects were immediate. Now it has been 12 months later, and I still have 0 libido and erectile dysfunction. Also I have a very sensitive penis, I can barely touch the glans of my penis. How about you? What are your symptoms?

I don't know what to do..I'm so frustrated why I used this bloody minoxidil ...?
