Several weeks after starting Minoxidil (= Rogaine) 2%, I experienced lower libido and occasional erectile dysfunction. I did not make the connection until I noticed that one of the rare side effects listed in the Minoxidil leaflet was sexual disturbance. Went to an urologist who said the cause was unlikely to be the Minoxidil, more likely stress or other "psychological" factors. However, the period had not been particularly stressful. Blood test showed no problems. Two weeks after stopping Minoxidil, my libido is returning to normal... Strange. It has never happened before.
