Hi meet,
Thanks for writing in.
Finpecia can cause decrease in libido and decreased volume of semen.
These effects are temporary and decrease on continued usage.
Also if you stop using finpecia all its effects are reversible and you will be fine.
There is nothing to be worried about.
Hope this helps.
