A user took finasteride for hair loss 10 years ago, stopped after a month, and has since suffered from severe erectile dysfunction (ED) and other symptoms. They shared blood test results seeking advice for their condition, and others discussed similar experiences with finasteride and related drugs.
The user experienced successful hair regrowth with Finasteride and Minoxidil but developed erectile dysfunction and abdominal pain, possibly due to medication or lifestyle changes. They plan to consult a urologist and consider adjusting medication or trying supplements like zinc, DIM, or boron.
A 23-year-old stopped using finasteride due to sexual side effects after three years. The discussion covers experiences with finasteride, dutasteride, and other treatments, noting varied side effects and effectiveness.
Finasteride can reduce DHT in the genitalia, potentially causing side effects like reduced erections and penile fibrosis. Using PDE5 inhibitors like Tadalafil or Sildenafil may help maintain penile health and prevent fibrosis.
A user shared their 3-year experience using finasteride for hair loss, reporting significant improvement and no side effects. They are now starting dutasteride and plan to update on progress in a year.
A user's 14-month journey with finasteride, microneedling, and Nizoral to treat hair loss. They experienced some side effects such as ball ache, needing to pee constantly, and less semen, but the results were generally positive.
