Common Questions and Answers about Proscar and libido

proscar

Avatar m tn Taking Viagra clearly works, try a small amount (cut up a 100 mg in 4 or 8 roughly equal pieces) and see how it works for you. I used Proscar (Propecia) years ago and definitely felt it killed my libido. It does dramatically lower DHT, a sex hormone *supposedly* only needed during your growing years - but nobody has ever explained how a crucial sex hormone just suddenly becomes unimportant when you turn 18. Try generic minoxidil to keep your hair instead.
463897 tn?1468013750 Hi I am glad I found a place ie web site, where I can ask this question and feel comfortable doing so. Since I had a breast reduction surgery twenty years my sexual life has permanetly been altered. I knew about loss of breast sensitivity following the surgery, but, since the breast is a sexual organ the surgery has permanely altered any pleasure that I once felt prior to the operation. I am so devastated .
Avatar f tn s for benign prostate enlargement, and the results were rather mixed. Then Proscar came along and pretty much ended that debate. Saw Palmetto has faded into the background - it's possible you affected your DHT levels, but it will definitely only be temporary. I quit Proscar for that reason, best not to fool around with sex hormone levels, in my opinion.
Avatar m tn I'm 24 and used to be an outgoing, energetic and happy person. My wife now says to me, "You aren't the same person I married!". I'm depressed, I'm fatigued, I have next to no libido at all (Which is what is hurting our marriage), weight gain, worsening gynocomastia, extreme irritability and I desperately want to feel better. I haven't felt normal for almost 2 years and my irritability is sooo difficult to control.
Avatar m tn If you experience side effects or if you plan to discontinue it, it is best that you discuss this with your doctor, who knows your medical history and the management plan of your condition. Side effects of proscar include trouble getting or keeping an erection, decrease in sex drive, decreased volume of ejaculate, and ejaculation disorders. Take care and do keep us posted.

250398 tn?1225263291 55 year old male. I have BPH and take Proscar and Cardura XL. Having some lower abdominal soreness and have noted cloudy urine and now a whitish discharge from my penis. Began Bactrim and Cipro yesterday, along with Ibuprofen. I am working out of the country, so tracking down a Urologist or even a general practice doctor that speaks good enough English for me to understand, and for them to understand me, is a challenge. So, am I on a good track? Prostatitis? Bladder/Kideney infection?

Avatar m tn I am 38 years old and married. I was perfectly normal and having high libido with no problems of erection. I have been using A-Z multivitamin tablets (either centrum or boots) along with one or two fish oil capsules for the last 3 years. I had an ongoing hair fall since my teen ages, which sometimes slowed down, specifically when I was back home in Pakistan. When I was in the UK, the hair fall increased. It's in the family. It never completely stopped.
Avatar m tn I am 67 years old, and have gradually developed some symptoms which I think suggest BPH. [not on Proscar etc.]. However, my PSA is now 1,8.[risen 0.5 over 18 months] Prior PSA: 05/11 =1.3 11/10= 1.1 04/10= 1.1 04/09= 1.2 10/08= 1.1 01/08= 0.9 11/07= 0.8 07/07= 1.1 12/05= 0.8 01/05= 0.6 07/04= 0.7 10/02= 0.9 08/02= 0.9 05/98= 0.9 DRE -no nodules What is likelihood this rise represents Ca, and what is next suggestion?

2167803 tn?1338529751 What is difference between loss of libido and erectile dysfunction? Can a man suffering from erectile dysfunction have strong sex drive and vice versa ?
Avatar m tn Until my ablation 7 months ago, I had an AVRT very closely related to WPW. Mine was Circus Motion Tachycardia and I had it nearly all of my life, and I'm now 60. In my case, it in no way affected my libido. AVRT like Wolff Parkinson White is an electrical condition, and should not affect libido. I would look atnthe medication used to control the tachycardia. They can and often do supress the libido. How deep of an investigation have you done on your condition?
Avatar n tn I have now been taking 150mg of Wellbutrin XL for about three months, and have noticed no imprvement. If anything, my libido has diminished even more. Since most people report a boost in sex drive with the Wellbutrin, I was wondering if I am just an atypical case, or if perhaps my dosage is not high enough to experience the improvement. Thanks for your help!
Avatar f tn I had surgery in July and another to recluse the wound in August. My libido has went down since then. Now every time I have an orgasm is causes my nerves to jump in my left foot and start to tingle. Then about 10-15 minutes after the orgasm my foot starts to hurt. Is this normal ?
Avatar m tn Even if you stopped or switched to another type you could still have floppy iris syndrome. If it works keep on it and tell your eye surgeon. Special techniques and instruments and drops make FIS not the problem it use to be when we first saw it.
Avatar n tn Hi im 20 years old engaged to be married and a new nurse i am young but am very concerned about my fertility I cant wait to have a family but I have been taking birth control pill for about 3 years now have been diagnosed with HPV and recently have been handling a medication which i didnt know shouldn't be handle by women because of problem with birth defects and infertility so any encouraging advice would be great i havent heard any real evidence on birth control pills causing specific prob
Avatar f tn m really alarmed and how my libido has dropped so much during the past six months. I eat healthy and practice yoga 3-5 times a week, but the only time I think about sex is when my man lets me know how horny he is. He's been supportive and understanding, but he deserves to be sexually satisfied, and of course on some level things I've lost interest for non-medical reasons.
250398 tn?1225263291 Currently on Cardura and Proscar. Suggestions?
Avatar f tn No, I think they may be too high because of the recent cystic acne and increased libido that I've been experiencing. An increased libido may sound like a blessing but it's not... I can't think about anything else and just keep falling further and further behind in my work. I really can't afford to be so distracted and the thought of cheating on my husband or crossing any lines with coworkers terrifies me.
Avatar m tn About six weeks ago I was prescribed 20mg of Fluoxetine (Prozac) daily for Chronic Depressive Disorder. At first, it worked great. I had energy, I slept through the night and felt rested in the morning. I wasn't constantly depressed and had desire to do things. I even got my libido back. I still had minor depressive episodes, but they never lasted more than a day.
Avatar m tn some loss of libido, watery semen. I'm not an expert but I suggest you stop taking finasteride at once and go see a doctor. I'm sure these side effects are reversible.
Avatar m tn I love my wife but we have not had sex on years and neither of us really has a libido to speak of. We do enjoy cuddling and are very touchy throughout the day. However I have found that my libido is quite strong when I travel. Is this common? We don't really speak about these things, which I'm sure is part of the issue.
Avatar f tn I am in a relationship with a man that was recently (4 months ago) diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Needless to say we haven't had much of a sex life for years, which has been very difficult for me to accept and deal with. I was initially very excited that maybe there was a medical explanation and a cure, and thought we might have a normal sex life. However, I haven't seen much improvement in the past months, perhaps if any.
