Does Palmetto Lead To Weaker Erections?

Hi, i took saw palmetto for a year to slow down my hairloss. I started getting weaker erections and it takes me longer to get turned on which is why i stopped taking the supplement. I stopped taking the supplement a month ago and the nrgative side effects are still there. What can i do?

Hello,

Yes, though the side effects are uncommon and typically mild but most commonly men taking saw palmetto have reported erection problems, testicular pain, and tenderness in the breasts.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH
