ED side effect from Finasteride, will it go away if i discontinue? IS PRP an alternative for Finasteride?

Question

I had hair transplant and my doctor recommended me finestroid and surbex z for 1 month only. It was normal until i discontinued surbex z and took only finestroid. Gradually i started to feel side effects like loss of libido. I ignored this and continued the medicine so after 14 weeks i started to observe erectile dysfunction. I can still ejaculate but it's extremely hard for me now to get erection and sperm count is very low. Will it go away if i discontinue?Can i use prp instead of finestroid?

yes probably the side effects will disappear after you stop using finasteride. But PRP absolutelly  does not make same effects on hair loss as finasteride.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

There are no substitutes for finasteride (or dutasteride) that are quite as effective. But that does not mean this medication is appropriate for every male with balding. There are side effects and some men have reported persistent side effects. This data needs to be taken into account for anyone starting.  PrP is another treatment for androgenetic alopecia (male balding). However, it is not as effective and is therefore not an equal substitute.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

There is no good substitute for the drug finasteride. PRP does not offer the same effects that are as predicable.
