After noticing my hairline receding I finally talked to my doctor about taking Finasteride and he had no problem prescribing it for me. I am taking 7.5mg per week and have been doing so since February this year (it's now been around 10 months).
I must say, I have noticed a difference in my hair, not an outrageous difference but I feel like it is definitely thicker and my hairline has strengthened alot.
However, last night I was with a girl and I just felt completely numb downstairs. Could not get an erection, in fact could not even feel the little guy at all. It was like he was dead. Has never happened to me before. I was thinking about it after and concluded theres a good chance its the finasteride. I've been traveling alot and haven't been in a relationship this year, so I haven't been having sex regularly, last time was about a month ago, no issues. And 2 months before that, again no issues. Just before I starting taking the finasteride I was in a relationship and definitely had no issues, was having sex daily and strong erections.
Now that I have been thinking about it, before taking finasteride I used to wake up often with erections, doesn't happen anymore. Also used to get erections all the time during the day at random times, again this seems to happen much less now. I have decided I am going to stop taking the finasteride for a few months, and see if this changes. If it does, I'll know its the finasteride causing it.
I'm 26 years old.
Would be keen to hear from anyone else who has had a similar experience.
