Finasteride AKA Propecia. Does it cause erectile dysfunction?

Faraz BG
Two months after the transplant. OK I went to see a hair surgeon here in Canada about shock loss on one side of the hair after the transplant. He said these hair should come back within a year. However, to protect my existing hair, he gave me a prescription for Propecia. I am concerned about the side effects especially ED and I know a lot of stuff on the internet is unreliable but I am looking for a reliable answer for this issue. Does it really causes erectile dysfuntion?
