Hi! To date, no scientific studies have made a connection between minoxidil and sexual dysfunction.
Tretinoin, azeliac acid and minoxidil are unlikely to cause problems with libido, erection, or performance. There could be another contributing factor that could explain these symptoms. You would need further evaluation to know the exact cause.
