Hey guys this is my first time posting here and I’m just wondering if anyone can give me some advice.
I’m 21 and a NW1 with mild-moderate diffuse thinning. I’ve been taking 1mg finasteride for about 2.5 years. The first 1.75 years were fine. My hair loss stabilized and I had no side effects. I did notice a loss of morning wood a while back but never really thought much about it. Then within the last 8 months I began having a steady decrease in libido and erection strength, stamina, and sensitivity. I didn’t really notice any of it except for erection strength. Even then I didn’t think much of it until it started becoming a nuisance the last few months. I knew the occurrence of sides were low (somewhere around 7-8% for my age range) so I never really attributed these issues to the drug.
Then about 2 months ago it got so bad I couldn’t even get an erection and if I was lucky enough to get one, it would take at least 20 minutes and wouldn’t last. I thought it may be porn related so I started the nofap challenge and have made it two weeks with no increase in sex drive or even the slightest desire to masturbate. I’m now starting to get really concerned. What should I do going forward?
