propecia

Avatar n tn Also get your husband’s sperm count done. Propecia is known to cause impotence, abnormal ejaculation, loss of sex drive and pain in testicles. However its effect on sperm is not reported. “Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA and should not handle crushed or broken PROPECIA tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby's sex organs.
Avatar n tn Usually you can find out things like this from a pharmacist, and it is also helpful to look up the drug's website and perhaps give a call to its 800 number.
Avatar m tn I attribute my erection problems to the Propecia tablet that I take daily. As you know, Propecia is 1 mg. of finasteride. Propecia has been shown to cause side effects such as erectile problems in a small minority of users. Unfortunately, I appear to be in that small minority. Once my erection problems surfaced, I began looking for a solution. I do not want to stop taking Propecia because it has done wonders for my hair.
Avatar n tn I experienced several side effects from the drug including total loss of sex drive, difficulty maintaining erections, loss of spontaneous erections/morning erections. I stopped taking propecia within 3 weeks due to an inability to deal with these side effects. Things seemed to be slowly getting slightly better as the weeks and months progressed however now some new issues have been arising.
Avatar m tn Hello, It has been found that the sexual side effects associated with the hair loss medication like Propecia, includes problems with libido, ejaculations and orgasm and it could last even after patients stop taking the drug which may be months to years. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar m tn I'm 22 years old Dealt with hair loss since I was about 17 Been on Propecia and Rogaine since 17 I took this propecia pill for 5 years 1mg a day everyday.. since I was 17 with little to no side effects besides no morning erections and watery semen.. turned 22 oct 2nd of 2016.. as the months went on I felt like my penis wasn't working like it should.. my erections seemed much weaker.. I stopped being hard during sex twice with my girlfriend..
Avatar m tn Your hair is going to fall out in excess on treatment even with the use of Propecia or Rogaine; that is just one of the unfortunate side effects. Hair restoration meds are not cheap and personally I wouldn't waste my money on it until several months after you have completed treatment.
Avatar m tn I'm well aware of the effects of finasteride I was just wondering if adderall could have caused a synergistic effect increasing my chances of getting gyno.
Avatar n tn To my horror I came across this page and saw your posts. I stopped taking propecia more than a year ago and have not regained any of the sexual funtion i lost while taking the meds. My erections are LAME, my seaman volume is a joke (and it used to come out like a garden hose) and my orgasms dont even feel that great. I can go months and months now without masterbation and dont even feel horny. This NEVER used to happen to me.
Avatar m tn Hi there! Erectile dysfunction can develop in young adults due to a variety of causes. Psychological stress, performance anxiety, depression, neurogenic disorders peyronie's disease, body image issues, medications, alcohol, smoking, drugs/medications, hormonal imbalance, radiation therapy, kidney failure, metabolic disorders, multiple sclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, prostatitis, urethritis etc. just to name a few.
Avatar n tn s assistant pretty much ruled out telogen effluvium, told me it was androgentic alopecia, and wrote me a prescription for Propecia. I almost wish I had not went to this appointment as I now have to decide between what this PA concluded and what seems like common sense. Does this seem like a correct diagnosis or should I get a second opinion?
Avatar m tn Forgot the most important word but you can insert mind, energy level, memory, skin moisture, restful sleep and a few others and the sentence will still be correct. Treatment is tough and in the big scheme of things hair loss is the least of your worries. I know as young man of 32 it's difficut to understand that but it's very true.
Avatar f tn It is not possible to answer your question since there are no rules with this horrible condition.
Avatar m tn 5 mg for one year and 1 mg for 1 year till today), In october 2016 my derm put me on accutane 10 mg and minoxiline(100mg) for treating my mild acne, I had been drinking heavily for 5 days before starting my accutane course, 10 days into the course, I started to have Gyno(Unilateral, right breast with a movable tender lump), I dropped accutane and minoxiline and also propecia after 23 days. It has been a month now but my Gyno hasnt reduced, I restarted propecia as I was starting to lose hair.
Avatar m tn Can propecia hurt a couples chances of getting pregant. i have been on it for years, we have gotten pregant twice but have has 2 misscarriages. However, bot times it has taken us about a year or so to get pregaant.
Avatar m tn Like I feared, I figured my problems could have something to do with my intake of finasteride, and stopped immediately. It was hard to actually believe that I could be one of those 1% of people having those side effects, but I guess it happens. The next thing I read, that was even harder to believe, was the fact that this could easily stay with me for the rest of my life.. Why the H*** didn't the FDA get this drug off the market way back in the 70s?
Avatar f tn There is really no pain upon ejaculation, only the feeling of a slight buildup due to the thickness of the semen. I have been to a urologist for this and upon a semen analysis, everything came back normal. I do take Finasteride 0.5mg every other day for my hair. Could this be the cause? He insisted that it was NOT the Finasteride (propecia). In addition, I asked if it could be low testosterone and he claimed that it was not the issue in this case.
Avatar f tn Hi, asthma is one of the most common medical problem in pregnancy. With the treatment with appropriate agents, it can be properly controlled and risks to the baby can be avoided. First we will talk about risks. In asthma there is increased risks of vomiting, vaginal bleeding, increased blood pressure, complicated labor, neonatal mortality, premature baby, hypertensive disorders, and low birthweight infants. The steps you need to follow are.
1840402 tn?1355432565 hi all im 25+1 preggo. i saw my doc today who advised me to go on sertraline as im suffering from panic attacks and anxiety but the thing is my partner doesnt agree as we've seen the risks, should i just wait it out til baby born? i was on citaopram but stopped when found out i was pregnant.
Avatar f tn Am worried about my first pregnancy and would appreciate medical information on risks to the embryo development. Am considering options in a foreign land.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed in the past with generalized anxiety disorder and Panic Disorder. I am 20 weeks pregnant and have taken 2 mg of Xanax 3 times a week for as long as I can remember. Doctors tell me the benefits outweigh the risks of taking this medication. But I wan't to do what is right, I don't eat right, I'm self-destructive and I'm incapable of being happy when I'm anxious and without the medication. I also have anxiety attacks weekly without the medication.
Avatar f tn I think you should have a long talk with your psychiatrist about this. Ask them to schedule you for an hour at least to talk in depth about the risks and benefits of different meds. I would guess that the first step would be to try you on something that's reasonably safe in pregnancy, and make sure it's actually keeping you stable.
Avatar n tn I took him to dermetologist, he priscribed Propecia for him. He said it has sexual side effect and goes away when yo sop taking the drug. He has lots of hair now and he does not lose any more hair. However, news is floting around saying that the sexual side effect comes from propecia is sometime not reversible. Asyesterday,he stopped his medicine. I am really worried if it has done any damage to him or not.
Avatar n tn But I believe they just removed it.. And her baby is fine and healthy and is now 3 althought he is a very big boy, (big head, big feet,) he is fine.. Lol so depending on ur circumstances ur baby could b fine as well!!!
