Propecia ( Finasteride ) tablet have those adverse effects and It gets reversed on stopping medication. However I don't prescribe if patient is going to get married soon or recently married without explaining the side effects. Other medications and PRP are very safe. I will always put it this way , if your expectations are realistic then you ll be happy.
Next Steps
Have regular follow ups.
