April 2026 in “The Journal of Sexual Medicine” This study investigates the population-level risk of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men using finasteride 1 mg for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) by analyzing data from the Epic COSMOS electronic health record network, which includes over 180 US health systems.
