This might be a lengthy read but ill try to keep it concise. Last month is when I really noticed my hairline had receded quite a bit in the temple regions and it gave and still is giving me a lot of anxiety. Because of that I starting doing research and stumbled upon finasteride, rogaine, keto, and essentially almost all the options for treating hairloss. However looking these up also lead me to find out the possible sexual side effects of finasteride and even stories on minoxidil as well. It was then that I realized even before researching these I did notice a drop in my libido (lack of morning and spontaneous erections) last month even before noticing my hair loss. Seeing my hairloss also didn't help as it put me in severe anxiety most days and I'm pretty sure I'm partially depressed. I've been very hesitant on starting any of the routines, even just rogaine, because of stories about it decreasing libido when my libido has been pretty low recently. The increased anxiety from my hair doesn't help with my libido and I will certainly not be sure if the sides will be purely psychological. So I'm not sure if my current anxiety/depression is causing my decreased sex drive. I started finasteride for 2 days but stopped cause I was getting a bit of ball ache plus the fear of sides. I plan to see a urologist this week to get my blood work done and to see if anything is up before starting any regiment. I'm also not sure if my low sex drive is cause of PIED (p**rn induced erectile dysfunction) considering I don't beat it more than twice a day, but I feel as if I've become a bit desensitized.
Any advice from you guys on what to do or any thoughts are open.
PS: Made out with a girl a few nights ago and was able to pop one up so that should be a decent sign I hope.
