Finestride side effect
I am suffering from male pattern hair loss.
Therefore I started to take finasteride 1 mg.
After taking it for 15 days, I started to feel some side-effects like loose erection, unwilling to indulge in any sexual activity and low semen amount.
I want know that this side effect is permanent or temporary?
Should I continue the medicine despite of side effects?
