Well, sorry for my poor english. I am from Argentina and i took propecia at 23 y/o for hair loss …i felt the first syntoms 2 o 3 month after the first intake. A loss of libido and weak erecctions think that with the time it will be better. 10 months later the things get worse and i have terrible problems with my sexualy. I decided to left the poision and there is when my problems increase. My last pill of propecia was in July 2010. Now 8 month later i am really really bad sexualy. I have zero libido, less than when i take the pill, i can have a hard erecction but with a lot of stimulation. I don, t have spontaneus erections and i don,t want to have sex anymore!!! i am only 24 years old and i frecuented to have sex 2 or 3 times per day. My eyaculation is very low and all is really sad.
There are my hormonal test 1 month later my last pill:
