Update: so it’s been about 41days or so. Suddenly got my Nocturnal erection back for the past two night. And was about to get a strong erection when aroused by my girl for along time. Funny though bu the time she was ready I Suddenly for what reason wasn’t interested and couldn’t get it up to perform lol
Has anyone here had a Nocturnal erection test?
So I get Nocturnal and morning erections, bit none during the day. Is this still PFS. Sexaul issues is the only thing I have
Might have crash again
Was able to get a morning erection, but still no Spontaneous erection
Sounds like you’ll be recovered eventually. How long have you been off fin now. Sides can be so much worse.
Hello so tho keep this short three months ago I had crash using topical finasteride. Sides was ED for three months, now my penis seems to be coming back at almost the exact three months. Still not at 100% I’ll say about 60-70% could this be a sign of recovery? Anyone can relate
Side not during the crash it seem my DHT was low the entire time off of fin 10 references range (12-70) now it’s finally at 32 and that’s when the sides started to subside. Anyone can relate?

It seems like yo-yo recoveries are how this goes. Hopefully time will bring more healing.
So I’ve been dealing with PFS for four months, what’s interesting I only used topical for three days prior pfs. Before used I tested my DHT which was 35, and three months later after pfs it was 10! So it’s possible finasteride kept it down for three months!? Now it’s back to 32?

It’s my understanding that Finasteride permanently binds to 5a-reductase. So the only way to get 5ar back is for our bodies to create more. I forget where I read the amount of time it takes to generate it, but I got the impression at the time that it’s more than three months before 5ar would be anywhere near the pre-fin level again. And then who knows how long it takes body tissues to respond to DHT being back. So, mainly, we’re healing from a huge, catastrophic injury. Things like that take time. And, some guys say they still see improvements a year off the drug or more. I’m at almost 5.5 months off fin. I’m trying to hold out for the year mark before making future plans. With that said, I haven’t had much of a recovery. But I am better now than I was at only 1 month off.
Did you have the same results?
I’ve read it’s about 18 months to build up the 5ar.

My Congratulations! Your two symptoms listed in the member template subsided in the absolutely normal 3 month period. This have been absolutely normal side-effects that get finasteride users. ( temporary ED, no noctural and spontaneous erections) Be lucky that you never developed pfs after playing Russian roulette for so long. As a severe patient I wish you a stunning sexual life and please never try Finasteride or Minoxidil again. A pfs life is no pony farm.

I mean yes sexual side effects are my only issue. But that does count as PFS. I believe everyone here has sexual side effects otherwise we wouldn’t be here
