Any Additional Data on Men That Experience Propecia Sexual Side Effects?
Dear Doctor,
Love the site, find myself popping in and out all the time for the latest buzz in “hair loss warfare”So anyways, I have been on Finasteride for about 7 weeks now, no noticeable change yet,nor did i expect any results this early in the game. No weird and wild side effects either – my libido is full tilt. One thing though I am absolutely certain of is the slowing down of facial hair growth, and possibly body hair too. This is not a problem of course but i just thought I would share my experiences thus far. I used to shave everyday or I would wake up to serious “scruffyness” the next morning but now its like every third day if that! This change I swear to be true and can provide no other explanation for. But like i had said before is no problem what so ever.
Now for my question, which is no relation to the information I shared above. For the people tested on propecia, was there any similarities in the 2% that experienced those “weird sexual side effects”. For example:
-Their weight
-hair type
-whether or not they had lots of body hair
-age
-race
-diabetesThanks so much for your time, and I look forward to hearing back from you,
You need to be on Propecia for 6 to 12 months to see any noticeable change. Keep in mind that NOT noticing any change in it of itself may be a good thing as well, because that means you aren’t losing more hair. Loss of body hair has been mentioned, but is not listed as a side effect of the medication.
If you want to know more about published data, it is in the bulky folded paper that comes with your medication bottle. I don’t have specific statistics for those men that experienced side effects, though.
