Does Taking Finasteride Causes Erectile Dysfunction?

I am suffering from Hair Fall since 8 to 10 years Now,currently using Mintop 5% with Finastride plus shampooing KTC once a week (approx 40 days in treatment). I can see that my dandruff is almost gone and hair fall is also arrested but can t see any hair growth on bald portions . Also heard that Finastride causes erectile dysfunction which is a cause of concern. So can any expert plz suggest me if it s good to go for Hair transplant? Can anybody suggest me few good clinics in Pune where hair transplant is done with success and there is no looting and harassing involved. Any help and suggestion will be appreciated.

Hello,

Yes. It blocks testosterone and not having testosterone has multiple effects. mainly on libido but pretty much all issues of sexual performance are affected.

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

Take care
