for hair loss about 7 years on prop, 3 months stop every year.
i quitted because i was not interested in my hair growt anymore
i was always very horny and i think i had a really good testosterone level and endocryne system (i had never any problem)
Some months after quitted i had first a strong fall of libido.
no more interested in sex much as before.
after i experienced lack of sensibility in all genitals, but before that
strange pain in scrotum and in the lower belly.
penis feels sensation from cold to hot without reason
in that period, strangest things was erections
the penis first part was hard, soft in the middle and hard on top
after this i went to doctor
for him is only prostatitis, i’m getting cured for that
after 2 years i’m slowly recovering but depends, some days good others bad
============================================================================================================================================
MORE ACCURATE SUMMARY
6-7 yrs on propecia, little breaks in summer
at last year i didn’t notice anything (i mean there was less libido, less gland sensibility but hardly recognizable)
in summer 2008, some months after stopping propecia, sides started and growth stronger and stronger
one day i had a very bad pain for hours in my genital region.
After that episod, pain disappeared but numbness and a strange “sparkling” sensation are still with me (now no more “sparkling”)
since 2008 i still have less strong erection, penis hypoesthesia, discomfort on lower belly.
more time to get it up, and after eiaculation, more time to get it soft
long time before eiaculate.
UPDATE
Dec 05, 2010
the shrinkage seems recovering a bit but in strange way.
the shrunk area start to fill like the top of “lego block”.
(i don’t know if i make myself clear)
in erection i can feel clearly this weird thing.
january 2011 i had an improvement of my situation, but is unstable
when one of my sides (prostate discomfort) was less strong, i noticed an overall improvement, specially in penile sensibility.
2011

minor update
april 2011
i’m noticing less hair on my head
(since i stopped finasteride, my baldness didn’t get worse)
minor up
07 may
noticing an improvement in penile girth
less wrinkles on dorsal and more thickness
discomfort on lower belly still present but seems less severe
18 may
i felt something like “unblocking sensation” on lower belly
and i experienced more sensation/pleasure during an orgasm.
this reinforce my opinion that prostate plays a central role in PFS.
