How safe is only minoxidil? Are the side effects permanent?

[An Man]

If you think I am exaggerating, don't take my word, just google "Minoxidil+sexual dysfunction", "Minoxidil+libido loss", etc, you will find hundred of patient stories. Do you think they are all lying, or that this is all a big conspiracy against Minoxidil?
What do you think is my intention? I don't want to sell you anything, I just want to tell you the truth. For some individuals, a minority, Minoxidil is a very toxic and dangerous drug which can cause severe sexual side effects. Are you willing to take the gamble?
If I were you I would NEVER touch Minoxidil, it has ruined many lives (including mine).

If I google car accidents or plane crashes, I will get hundreds of examples. Yet I still drive, and I still fly. Like pretty much every one. I have used many powerful drugs before (for medical purposes), and the side effects have all disappeared after I stopped.

What I am trying to determine is what the chances and risks are. So instead of telling me it's evil why don't you tell me what your situation is - that is much more practical.

I've already told you: erectile dysfunction, loss of libido. The symptoms last more than a year now, and they started immediately after I used Minoxidil.
Yes, Minoxidil is evil and dangerous. The risks associated with its use far outweigh the benefits. It is not like you will have headaches or a rash, we are talking about severe sexual side effects. My penis feels like rubber, do you want the same thing happening to you? Do you have a Plan B when this happens to you? The symptoms do not go away after discontinuing Minoxidil, just like with Finasteride.

sorry boy, you're gonna have to do better than that. you have not provided any details about your situation, just that you have a burning penis head...WTF. you are the only one I have ever heard of with that symptom.

[An Man]

What kind of details do you want me to talk about?
Do you know the site askapatient? Just look up Minoxidil, there are plenty of users that provide additional proof.

[aceman]

All details dude - you didn't provide any.

Rogaine and erectile dysfunction
To date, no scientific studies have made a connection between Rogaine and sexual dysfunction. Men who take Rogaine and experience problems with libido, erection, or performance will often find another contributing factor that explains their symptoms.

One study in 2014 found that Rogaine had an effect on the activity of androgen receptors, but the authors are very clear in stating that the effects are in the hair follicle only. At this time, there is still no confirmed evidence that Rogaine adversely affects the male libido, although research continues.

Are you kidding me? Anyone can write up some stuff claiming that there is no link between a drug and side effects. It's kinda like Finasteride deja-vu.
I specifically told you to look up askapatient. Did you browse through the category for Minoxidil?

http://www.askapatient.com/viewratin...+%28FOR+MEN%29

So in your view, these people are all hypochondriacs who have nothing else to do but claim that Minoxidil caused sexual side effects?
It's all in our mind, right? Psychological stress?
Concerning my case: For the first time in my life I developed erectile dysfunction after applying Minoxidil solution. I never had any sexual problems, and I do not smoke or drink. I go to the gym regularly, and I am absolutely healthy in every aspect. What else do you want to know?

Do you call EVERY scientific study done by DOCTORS over DECADES just anybody writing nonsense? Are you stupid or something? Why don't you go browse around and see how people are reporting every detail of their situation, writing pages of useful information, whereas all you do is talk like an idiot? Even my questions have more detail than your "answers", what a joke. If you talked like a normal informative human being, then maybe i'd take you seriously, but no you sound like a fool. You want to make a claim, it is YOUR JOB to convince me, not the way around dumb ass.

Since you will apply the Minoxidil on your scalp, I hope you'll grow some additional brain cells.

WRONG! You are the one without brain cells, AND a dick that doesn't work. Sucks to be you!
