Finasteride Side Effects
I just recently joined this forum to post a picture of abnormal thinning hair and a couple of days ago I encountered an even more concerning issue. I have been taking finasteride 1mg for about 6 months every day, and about 3-4 days ago I noticed that my erections were a lot "softer" then normal. I do not have a girlfriend at the moment so the only reason I am concerned about this is if its one of the "permanent" side effects I have continuously read about. This is the only side effect that I have noticed besides mild pain in one of my testicles. I do not want to stop taking the finasteride but at the same time I do not wan to permanently damage my body. I have reduced my dose to .5 mg and if that does not at least lessen the side effect then I may take a week or two completely off of the medication to see if the side effect lasts or goes away. ANY advise from someone who has experienced or is more knowledgeable about this would be greatly appreciated. I have done my research and I even visited a doctor about the issue and his response was that side effects from medication is normal and he would recommend to continue taking it if I am enjoying the benefits. I do not fully trust this advice because even he admitted he was not very knowledgeable about finasteride and I have done a lot of research, but from what I read the consequences vary drastically person to person.
