propecia side effect

propecia side effect

My son is 21 and has been taking propecia/generic finasteride.  I just saw news last night about it's side effect.  He is stopping the drug. I am very afraid if it has already done damage to himself by taking it.  He has not been in a relationship yet, so does not know anything about libido. I have lost my sleep over this.  Please help me.

I do know a little about this med and it's side effects. I'm not a Dr or an expert but I'm glad to hear your son has stopped taking it.
I can understand how it would be difficult to discuss sexual issues with your son. Is there a male in his life that he can talk to openly?
Even though he has never had a sexual relationship, he is a man and men will get erections. This is completely normal.
Maybe you should bring your concerns up to your son and ask him to see his Dr to talk about things.
