Propecia? Keep Hair Or Have Erectyle Dysfunction? Only 22 (pictures)

[NeedAnAssist]

I'm 22 years old
Dealt with hair loss since I was about 17
Been on Propecia and Rogaine since 17

I took this propecia pill for 5 years 1mg a day everyday.. since I was 17 with little to no side effects besides no morning erections and watery semen.. turned 22 oct 2nd of 2016.. as the months went on I felt like my penis wasn't working like it should.. my erections seemed much weaker.. I stopped being hard during sex twice with my girlfriend.. stimulation couldn't even bring it back up.. it was a disaster.. there were just times I could feel literally during sex my penis getting less and less hard.. that scared me. in the back of my mind I was thinking about the time it happened before and I think it made it happen so that wasn't fun..it crushed me.. I was convinced it was mental but obviously that plays into it to.. it's been so hard.. then I contributed it more to propecia and obviously after that I just had to quit.. I don't get why 5 years later it's becoming a issue?

I haven't taken propecia since January 9th.. my overall libido has improved but my hair doesn't seem to be.. here are pictures of where it's currently at..

Basically propecia has kept my hair at a pause.. not to thin and not to thick forever now.. what concerns me is... having been off it for basically a month I can see my hairs starting to shrink and recede in the front and that's ruining my confidence.. I'm terrified to start propecia again and have libido issues.. and I'm even more terrified to let my hair go.. I don't know what to do.. are my levels normal? I don't know.. that's why I'm reaching out.. note this test was taken some time off of propecia recently..

I don't know what to do.. should I try Monday Wednesday Friday propecia? I heard there is a 5mg propecia pill you can take once a week.. can that keep my ED at bay maybe? Can once a week maybe twice propecia keep my hair but my ED away? I don't get why this is happening to me now.. But what if that starts up my ED again.. what if that ruins the recovery I've been making off the pill.. I don't want permanent ED.. I'm only 22.. I don't want to lose my hair either.. is there anything I can do to keep my hair and not have ED? Why is this random ED happening now..? I just want to live a normal life.. rogaine and regenepure and propecia is all I've been doing.. but recently it's been minus the propecia.. I don't want to lose my hair but I don't know what else to do.. I'm so lost.. is taking this pill anymore worth the risk? I don't want to watch 5 years be wasted..


What should I do?

The drug Argenine  (sp?) is the drug for Ed. This can be used to offset the side effect of the drugs your are taking. Urologist will know about it. Consult an urologist .

Hey man, I've heard a urologist say not to be on propecia.  I would remain off of it.  I would go see a urologist who can interpret your blood work (and maybe send you for more blood work checking whatever he thinks is best).  Then look for possible treatments to ED caused my propecia.  A urologist may know (if one doesn't, a different one should).  It might be taking something to get your levels back in balance or something like that.  It's happened to a bunch of guys, it's a known issue.

For hair, what's worked for me is this natural product from "shen min" called DHT Blocker.  I've taken 3 capsules a day.  It takes a couple months or so to start noticing anything.  But for me, I used to have clumps of hair in my hand every day, and then I didn't.  And I noticed it stayed more on my head.  If your hair loss is caused by an excess of testosterone/DHT - when the excess leaves the body it weakens the hair from my understanding - then this counters that.  I'm not an expert on this, but this helped me!  I wouldn't think this would affect ED - could always run that by the urologist too
