Q. Does Finasteride cause any sexual problem?
Hi doctor,
I am 25 years old and have male pattern baldness. I have consulted a doctor and started taking a tablet that has Finasteride in it. I take a dose of 1 mg per day. I looked up on the internet and it has side effects such as the inability to keep an erection and loss of sexual interest. Does it cause any sexual problems? Should I keep using it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Yes, Finasteride sometimes causes erectile dysfunction - erection problem. If it occurs, then it is treatable.
- In my personal experience, I have seen a few men whose erectile dysfunction has become difficult to treat. Now, it is up to you if you would like to take the risk.
