Minoxidil causes Erectile Dysfunction

I will, I've been taking some pics since I started on minox, and hopefully it'll reverse all the balding.

Do keep me posted on your success.

I think I'm going to have to stop using Ketoconazole. Other than my low libido and ED, I had some pain too in my testicles today, and I don't want to take the risk, it might even turn out to be irreversible. Ketoconazole is a testosterone and DHT blocker, I think I'll stick to using Kera XL serum, which blocks DHT too but not testosterone and has many other benefits.

Sorry to hear that. But do what you think is best. I hope it works out for you.

Hehe, minoxidil is has been experimented with as being a TREATMENT for erectile dysfunction. It lowers opens up blood vessels, similar to viagra and cialis. If you look around, you will see there were some experiments using it as a topical treatment on your thingy. And I think the experimental treatments said it worked.

Of course it is not approved for use in this manner by the FDA so do not do this.

Yeah, I realized minoxidil wasn't the root of my problem after I read about the side effects of Ketoconazole, which I also use.
But I also read posts about the side effects of minoxidil, although very rare, some people suggested that as minoxidil is a vasodilator, it also opens up blood vessles in the penis, causing blood to not stay there for long, or at least for as long as a normal erection is supposed to last.

I'll quit it for some time and see what happens. Or I might just start using it once a week, and not twice.

It doesn't work in the same way as Cialis or Viagra at all, quite the opposite. Whereas V and C help blood flow in and keep it there, Minoxidil just dilates the veins: all of them, and not the ones you necessarily want dilated. Cardiologists have stated - as have Doctors, that there's enough statistical data to prove in can adversely impact erections.

Also, if youre thinking you can counter the sides with Viagra then you'd be correct, but that poses a number of risks in itself, such as going deaf.

So what ended up happening?
I was reading about all these negatives on a website that seem dedicated to bashing rogaine.
A lot of these guys were also on meds like zoloft .
