Propecia erectile dysfunction effect is real folks

[Notbaldyet]

really? holy crap. that is actually kind of frightening to me. i am one of those people who actually hope that I start losing my hair like crazy because it will be a sign that i am a 'man' again. when i was 19, in college, i would close my books after a night of studying and i would literally have to dust the hair out from the pages. then i started propecia and if i see more than a single strand of hair on my bed sheets, its unusual. the more i read, the more i realize that although i am thankful for the past 12 years of hair, i basically emasculated myself for the past 12 years too, and thats frightening. on another note, 2 weeks after stopping the medicine i already see changes in sexual function, which is great. to give you an indication of how bad things had gotten, when i described my function to my doctor, he told me that i was normal....for a 65 year old. that scared the bejesus out of me. i thought i had just been getting old. i guess the best combo would be to just keep my hair and regain normal function.

Your hair is probably not going to start falling out again for at least a couple of months after stopping. If you're really worried about your hormones, you can get blood tests done to see where your levels are. All of the guys on propeciahelp.com and the other such sites have hypogonadism so their testosterone and DHT levels are extremely low. Trust me, you would know if you had this condition and the fact that you are seeing an increase in sexual function undoubtedly means you do NOT.

i had my testosterone checked. it was normal. i am reassured.

I'm beginning to think that some herbal hair loss company is paying people to say this stuff about Propecia. I have yet to find a doctor who reports more than 1% of their patients (out of many thousands) who have any erectile dysfunction from the drug. I also took it for 12 years without side effects and I have several friends on it who say they have no side effects or in one case, an increase in sex drive. I really wish people who have issues with the drug would have a rational discourse about it so they don't scare guys into unnecessarily avoiding the drug and having to live with the resulting misery that hair loss can bring.

Why do you think that cause you take Finasteride you could not have erectile dysfunctio ? and if you have it , it is finasteride fault ? 25 % of men at 30 suffers some kind of erectile dysfunctio . I have been taking since 17 and do not have any problem.

Testosteron leves low cause finasteride have none sense at all. They should have another problem that is not finasteride related .
That is the problem, some people think that since they are tacking finasteride they should be superman, if not , is cause finasteride side effects .
People that do not take Finasteride have testosterone defficient, so why you think that is finasteride fault ?

I know many people talk about side effects from propecia or whatever medical therapy that you are taking but some are not so bad are they?? Im taking propecia and it has not done anything noticeably for me yet. It's almost 6 months and i might be considering avodart. As far as side affects, i do have a bit of everything like less volume of semen and maaaaaybe lowered libido but that is hard to tell for me because i don't feel that different. The problem that i noticed is that my erections are not as hard and its a bit harder for me to maintain it but why can't you use Viagra?? This can work for everyone. You don't have to take it daily and im guessing you can manage it to where you can use it when you think you might need it? I read that its perfectly safe to use both but i don't know how much of a problem it might be for some people. What you guys think??

Compared to some of the "testimonials" on here that read more like pharmaceutical sales pitches than actual first hand accounts of this drug's side effects I would say this one is dead on. I took Propecia for well over a year with exactly those results. Definite reduction in sex drive, erection frequency and potency with a significant loss in "volume". For me these side effects weren't worth it and I stopped taking the drug and within roughly 3 weeks all returned to normal. As a point of perspective and was then and am now in EXTREMELY good cardiovascular shape. Of course I'm also bald
