Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Drugs prescribed for the prostate enlargement is the hormonal supplements.

So it may affect you androgen level and so to your sexual activity.

So do not worry it is common with most of the people who take the drug. It may cause gyanecomastia some times. But taking this drug is necessary.

If you withdraw the drug it may adversely enlarge the prostate and may lead to malignancy.

If your sexual activity is much affected you can substitute the drug for the alternative drug.

Drug is very important parameter to control the enlargement if you do not take the drug properly enlargement will increases.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
