Propecia Does Not Increase Risk Of Ed

[abcdefg]

According to this recent study propecia does not raise risk of ED over the course of 4 years they did this study with like 12,000 participants. It doesnt mean its not possible, but with how many people claim they got ED on these forums you would think the percentage would be sky high. Just kind of shows the big differences between random claims on forums and what real numbers show

Think of it this way, how many people are suffering from male pattern baldness, or baldness in general.Now imagine how small of percentage this forum is. Not just that more people are more likely to complain about something they have, as opposed to someone who is lucky enough to have no side effects.

I'm not disagreeing with the survey, as I do believe its a very small minority that actually get ED, and that for a lot of people they start taking propecia already believing they'll get that side effect due to fear mongering. But at least now I can now link to a study showing facts when some people say they're scared to take propecia because they think they'll get ED.

Did you even read the article?

This study is on men with benign prostatic hyperplagia, not balding men.

Same drug, different populations.

We have this cute comment in the article:

The risk of ED increased with longer duration of BPH, regardless of exposure, the researchers found.

No sh*t lol.

Men who bald early are a different population. They tend to have high insulin resistance (risk factor for ED), low SHBG, and excess androgen receptors.

Oh yeah true its BPH, but same drug really so still applies. How different the population is between male pattern baldness, and men with BPH I dont know, but I dont think that discounts the entire study. male pattern baldness incidences increase with age just like cases of BPH probably. Maybe younger balding men have lower SHBG but not in older men we just dont know so its not right to assume that because men in all age groups go bald.

Yep.


Like the study about men taking sugar pills but told they were told that they were on finasteride and got ed


Then men that Took finasteride but we're told they are on sugar pills and noticed nothing

Right... Tell that to my non-existing morning wood that still has not properly returned for 5 months after quiting.

 

[dunno]

No morning wood = ED? ok

 

[N003]

That means finasteride is safe?

 

[Zoro]

No morning wood = ED? ok

This, I don't get morning wood that often, even before finasteride, but I still have an extremely high libido and have zero problems getting it up. Don't know why everyone brings up lack of morning wood

 

[INT]

No morning wood = ED? ok

No that is the sign that my ED (almost impossible to get it up without touching, even in fully aroused state it is still not as strong as it once was) is not just psychological. Ok.

Im not saying its psychological. finasteride has reduced my libido and morning woods aswell.

 

[abcdefg]

The study just shows the chances of getting ED are kind of low. You can still get it. I mean 12 thousand is a small sample honestly out of the millions of men on propecia.

12,000 is a great statistical sample.

As long as they're being honest, I think they've shown that if you have BPH you don't increase your odds of getting ED by going on finasteride.

 

[g.i joey]

Finasteride plays around with your libido more than it causes ED... I don't find my libido is higher or lower but I do find it's changed.. sometimes I need to go 3-4 times in a day, sometimes I can go 2 days straight without jerking it. But when I'm in a stimulated environment and need to perform I don't think it's changed much. Morning woods are still there very often for me. I'd say 4-6 days a week it's there.

But realistically how conscious were u of ur morning woods before finasteride. I just think people overthink stuff like morning wood. Unless you don't experience it for a month straight, then you've got a problem

 

[shookwun]

I would be concerned if you don't experience morning wood and have spotaneous/random erections through out the day.

If it's only stimulated by pornography and touch then you have some desensitization issues, and possibly need to take a break and rewire.

 

[Yoshi3Mario]

The fact is we aren't talking about men with high libido in their 20s.

The hermaphrodites of the Dominican Republic known as the guevedoches have issues with fertility and getting an erections because they don't produce dht.

Let's definite erectile dysfunction: loss of stiffness. Inability to "maintain an erection". Not even being able to get an erection.

If you have loss of morning wood. Don't get hard with a woman. Don't get spontaneous erections. Lose an erection. If you have to jerk it to get hard again between sexual positions. You have erectile dysfunction.

I bet if men answered truthfully the majority of them would have an ache in their left nut and some degree of ED from finasteride. Cmon people.

 

[Yoshi3Mario]

Even if the drug somehow didn't cause ED issues. And I assure you it does. There are many other reasons not to take it.

But I will say this.

It's comforting for those who wish and are taking it. Good luck

 

[kj6723]

My dog doesn't even have testicles and he gets erections

 

[Roberto_72]

Funny you should mention the Guevedoces (no h) because they are exactly the population that Merck studied and who inspired finasteride to fight enlarged prostate issues and hair loss.

[shookwun]

its real simple

Can you jerk off to p**rn in the privacy of your own home?

yes > you don't have finasteride induced ED

yes, but cannot get it up with a women > performance related anxiety, p**rn induced ED or a mixture of the two.
