Weak Erections While On Finnasteride (using For 2.5 Months)

[brahmabull117]

It's something I just recently noticed - I can't get my dick to stay completely hard. It gets about 80-90% of normal capacity hard and I can finish properly but I can't get it to get hard 100%. My libido is no less normal than usual (I can still ejaculate 20 times in a week) and my semen is normal but my erections are terrible

What should I do? is my only option to stop using it now?

Is it possible that this is the p**rn? I masturbate a lot to p**rn. Should I give it about 4 to 5 days with no p**rn to see if my normal erections come back?

if my normal erections don't come back, what are the chances that rogaine can help me maintain my hair for another 15 years or so? I'm an NW2-3Vertex (2 thinning patches in the crown) but I have very wavy hair. I'm gonna get a transplant done this year which will basically make my hair look perfect. I figure if I can maintain with rogaine for 15 years, I can get another transplant done at 45 and then even if all my native hairs go away, 2 transplants of say 9000 grafts will make my hair look totally fine for a 45 year old being that I have very wavy hair.

if I were you I would stop masturbating to p**rn and keep taking finasteride, see what happens after 1 week

if I keep having weak erections, how long until I should cut off finasteride?

or do I first experiment with only doing 0.25 mg per day?

Lol, I have the same experience. My advice is don't panic and get paranoid. My first 2 weeks on finasteride, I noticed I no longer have morning boners, and it takes quite a long work for me to get an erection when I masturbate. Though I still ejaculate normal but I noticed I'm not feeling the usual pleasure from my ejaculation. It made me panic for some time. But then what I did is just keep doing other things, hang out with friends, and stay busy and do more things other than staying inside my room and laptop. I go to gym, malls and coffee shops and look for hot girls and hot milfs. Then when I get home I feel the urge to masturbate to them. What ever turns you on right? Lol. Suddenly, few days after, I noticed that my dick and erection are normal again. I now masturbate 3-4 times a day with no problem. Remember, don't think too much about it, and still do other things and don't use your energy in just thinking about your hair.

are you able to get 100% hard now when you have sex?

Yes it's pretty much normal now. Though I noticed my sperm is way more watery now when I ejaculate.

how long should I give it before I give up on it?

Also should I cut it down to 0.25 mg per day? Also should I consider taking a pill to help with my erections like L Arginine? I'm still able to get about 80-90% of my erection level so it's not like I've lost much

It should be water if you ejaculate 20 times a week ffs

If you want your hair to stay, then don't give up on it just yet. Lowering the dose will still lower your dht and yes it lessens the side effects. And I heard that if you get a hair transplant, they would advise you to use finasteride as a maintenance or it won't give you full results. And regarding your erections, I say don't think about it too much. When your body has adjusted to the dht levels with finasteride, your dick function will be just fine just like what I experience. Can't say if it will happen to everyone though
