Have used topical finasteride 0.1% along with minoxidil 5% , i only used for 2 days and 1 ml each day , I got to know finasteride causes side effects like sexual and harmonal issues , i quitted right away , making it a two days use , will i get any side effects ? And what about the concept of persistent sexual side effects from finasteride, did it happen in my case??

Not like that...You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please  send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

It’s understandable to be concerned about potential side effects. Finasteride at low doses (0.1%) is less likely to cause hormonal or sexual side effects, but some individuals may still experience them.
Next Steps
If you notice any side effects, consult your doctor to adjust the dosage or consider alternative treatments Minoxidil is generally safe topically, but keep the scalp clean and avoid irritation Regular follow-ups will help monitor progress and side effects
Health Tips
Most side effects, if they occur, are reversible upon discontinuation. Always communicate openly with your healthcare provider.
