Erectile disfunction and ruined semen even after 2 months

[Fanjeera]

I quit Propecia two months ago, but still have really bad side effects. I've tried to enjoy the summer and forget about it all, but it always comes back to haunt me that my libido and semen isn't comparable to what it was before. I get horny like once in 2 weeks only and my semen is very transparent and slight. Anyone else on finasteride have anything like this? How to get back to normal?
Thanks!

Have you been to the doctors about this?

Have you had any blood tests done for your hormone levels?

Wait, so do you have ED or just low libido?

yep, clear semen is a side effect i still have.

Don't mess with hormones!

By the way try Pumpkin Seed oil, 2 grams a day for 60 days at least. It will definitely increase and improve your ejaculations, I speak out of direct experience. It's good, too, because it's a mild DTH antagonist.

Zinc has worked for me personally - 50 mg per day. I quit finasteride after one month back in May and still am not all the way back to normal. I started taking zinc a couple weeks back and it has made quite a difference - much harder erections, much easier to get an erection and higher libido.

Surprisingly, i felt much better after taking 50mg zinc per day too.

I'm waiting in the line atm. I'm seeing and endocrinologist in October. Hopefully they can do the right tests for me.

Fully respect your choices to the above 2 posters re: zinc but I would class 50mg per day as quite dangerous long term, I also take zinc but once every few days, if you're taking that much zinc then it disrupts copper intake, and you either should cut down to start taking some copper with it as well IMO.

Tell us what the doctor says in october Fanjeeta, if I had what you do I'd get someone to see me ASAP o_o

DO NOT take 50mg of zinc a day for a long time... 50mg might be OK for a few days, but that's it.... Zinc interacts with other minerals in the body and can prevent absorption of certain essential minerals.

I know for a fact zinc works for me... I feel horny as hell after I take 15mg of zinc. I have a reasonable diet, so I supplement my zinc only 2-3 times a week.

If you really want to supplement your zinc intake, get 15mg pills and take one every few days.

PS: We are supposed to lose about 5mg of zinc per ejaculation, so if you masturbate like crazy, you might want to consider topping your zinc up.
