My Penis Does Not Work on Propecia!

I found that my penis seems to have no reaction everyday morning after take Propecia. I’ve been on Propecia for around one and half month. My doctor tels me not to worry and continue to take Propecia. He tells me the side effect is dramatic when taking it at the first month. Is it right???? I am worried that I will become sexual handicap if I keep taking Propecia. What should I do?

A small number of people get both a decreased libido and erectile dysfunction with Propecia. If you are one of these, I would suggest the following:

1. Stop taking the Propecia for a week or two. The problem should go away.
2. Start it again, taking a half pill a day instead of a full pill. If the problem comes back, try a quarter pill a day after stopping it again for a week or two. If the problem is still there on the lower dose, then your choice would be to give up your sex life (not a good plan) or forget Propecia and look at other options for hair loss including minoxidil and/or hair transplants.

There are a small number of people who can not take this drug because of sexual dysfunction problems. Are you sure that you do not have a sexual dysfunction problem without Propecia? Don’t blame it on the drug if you have a problem even without it. There are many causes of sexual dysfunction which might be best handled by a good doctor/urologist.
