    Default peeing at night post propecia

    I was on Propecia for a little over one year and quit 1 and a half months ago due to persistent e.d. and libido issues which have both gotten better since getting off Finasteride. However, I have noticed I have been peeing more since stopping usage of Propecia. I am a fit and healthy 32 year old male with no other health issues. I have not been drinking more liquids, nothing has changed there. What has really been the problem is having to get up EVERY night at least once to pee. This throws my sleeping pattern into a rut because I can't always fall asleep again right away. I am aware that Finasteride shrinks the prostrate--I am wondering if having gotten off Propecia has caused an issue with my prostrate? Is anyone else out there experiencing this and and if so how old are you and are you on Finasteride or have you experienced this post-quitting Finasteride??

    Thanks for all feedback.

    This is odd, I also pee during nights but its only because I drink over a gallon of water per day. Are you drinking more then usual?

    just realized i wrote "prostrate"--i meant "prostate"!!

    i am not drinking more than usual. i have not changed my diet. the only significant change is that i stopped taking propecia about 1 and half months ago.

    You are correct in your thought. Propecia shrinks the prostate and sense quiting you will notice an increase in urination at night as well as a delayed start of urinating after voluntary attempts.

    can you recommend anything?? i know there are quite a few natural things like saw palmetto, stinging nettle extract, etc, that shrink the prostate. i am not primarily looking to inhibit dht, but rather help the prostate. any suggestions?

    Black tea and Green Tea work decent. Exercise helps. Reduced ejaculations for an extended period of time work very well.
