Just an update for whoever follows this thread.
I rarely think about this forum or finasteride anymore. My “condition” has been stable for a good two years now wherein I would say im 70-75% of my previous self (sexually) but given im 28 years of age, and the fact i probably would have lost 10% anyway, I’m well within normal ranges.
I have a completely normal sex life and performance now. My ejaculate still fluctuates and isn’t what it was but it’s still ok, i guess. I’m definitely down regulated from what i was, and there has been permanent changes to my penis etc, but my condition is stable and normal really.
I would love to get back to my old self but realistically it doesn’t affect me anymore and im getting on with my busy life.
I do worry about the condition of my prostate though. I know finasteride has damaged me but i also know my body has recovered as much as it possibly can and I am fortunate to be able to life without this having destroyed my life like many other people have had to endure.
I take no treatment or anything. I do take 50-100mg of zinc pic capsules when i fancy a sexual boost and that definitely works especially in terms of volume of semen.
I hope everyone is keeping well.
