This post is to clear up why people may experience post finasteride ED and possible treatments.
Your penis is made up of smooth muscle which contracts or relaxed to control the blood flow rushing into your penis. This effects how quickly you are able to get erections as well as erection quality
DHT is the primary androgen in this smooth muscle, it’s one of the only muscles in the body that relies on DHT.
Based on your genetic suspetability people require different dht levels to maintain this smooth muscle. If you have ED from finasteride one of the factors is this muscle has shrinked and can’t perform its function optimally. This is the main cause of persistent ED even after stopping finasteride
This muscle requires erections to be excersied effectively on top of DHT. So while erections become less frequent on finasteride and DHT is significantly reduced these muscles will shrink. Some people shrink these muscles faster than others. If you build this muscle slowly you may have difficulty recovering after finasteride
Treatment
Your system may require a kickstart to build this muscles to a point where erection quality is no longer a problem so you can get erections without a problem.
I’m talking about using topical DHT or systemic androgens such as proviron to induce the hypertrophy of these muscles.
Once they are of sufficient size and strength you can start to get erections on your own and can gradually reduce your dosage.
For some people recovering from finasteride without aid may not be fully possible or very difficult/timely. You choose your path, this will acceate your hairloss but recover your penis
I would say it would take about 4 weeks of daily topical DHT or proviron to recover your smooth muscles to 90% after prolonged finasteride ED. The longer you have had sides from finasteride the longer you will take to recover.
Don’t listen to people saying it’s impossible to recover from pfs. You weren’t born with erections, it’s a hormonal response
You’re on your own past this point.
