Hi guys,
I apologize in advance for any typo, english isn't my native language.
I started oral finasteride 2 months ago with a very low dosage,
0.25mg EOD and then i'm trying to go up,
the first days i experienced testicular pain,
now this side effect is gone , lasted almost a month,
I experienced this only in the days i took finasteride ( i reduced a bit the dose while i experienced this)
now i raised the dose to 0.5 EOD and i'm experiencing a mild ED,
i still got morning woods but at 50% intensity max.
Getting hard is becoming more difficult and even when i have an orgasm i don't reach 100% hardness, maybe neither 80%, and the feeling is strange,
just like when you try to have an orgasm with an incomplete erection, it feel "strange" and weaker.
Sexual drive seems to be OK.
I wonder if this side effect could be temporary like the testicular pain or i have to stick to the maximum dose on which i can withstand the sides.
Could 0.125 daily be enough to atleast stop the loss?
Any advice?
thanks,
PS:
I tried finasteride 12 years ago, 1mg daily for a month and i only experienced a very liquid sperm and a strange prostatitis right after i quitted.
Never had testicular pain or ED.
After that i've been on saw palmetto for 11 years, it didn't stop hair loss but i suspect i started to experience mild sides from it the last years.
