Just want to share this with all of you. Ive recently started using this oil which has stopped my hair loss ( or so i feel) it is an ayurvedic oil which i got from Divya Pharmacy in Mumbai, India.

ive recently started washing my hair everyday bt i use a mild shampoo . there r many like serene, ducray anaphase . im nt recommending doin this to anyone tho. bt clogged pores in teh scalp becz of oil r dirt is also a reason fr hair fall so u have to make sure that u keep ur scalp clean.

I'm here to give you guys an update. Its now been about a year and a month since quitting the Minoxidil 5% and the sexual side effects are still present. Still getting either weak or no morning erections, not waking up rock hard like I used to, random erections throughout the day haven't come back, maintaining an erection during sex is very difficult, and I still get that cold, tight feeling in my testicles/scrotum during the day.

 

I should note that 5 months ago I found out I had a varicocele in my testicle and thought may have been contributing to my sexual issues. I had an operation to fix the varicocele but it didn't fix my sexual problems. Looking back I do believe that somehow the Minoxidil somehow was responsible for the development of my varicocele as I know that Minox opens up blood vessels which in turn creates our problems. I've also read that Minox can mess with the thyroid and prolactin thus leading to impotence.

 

This past year has been a nightmare. I'm now beginning to believe that these side effects are going to be either permanent or very long term. I'm just trying to accept this, which is the most difficult thing to do. I'm only 28 years old. Life will certainly never be the same again. I'm thankful that I have a girlfriend who is very understanding.

i ws also diagnosed with a varicocele a few months after i started using minoxidil and finasteride...n i think it is because of that bt my hair surgeon insists that these drugs cannot cause any such side effects...my urologist also failed to advice me on that..anyways im glad i read ur post cz nw im sure abot the connection between these drugs and my problem..also ive heard soemwhere that a varicocele cn cause ur hair to fall out more, so it is liek a vicious circle.. ive heard that saw palmetto produces the same result as finasteride without any side effects..bt some people think otherwise..pl let me know what do u think

Hi

this is my first post on this forum.. Im 32 and have been suffering severe hair loss for the 2 years. An year back i consulted a doctor and he prescribed me few vitamins and finastride and minoxidyl..i did nt realize that it ws finastride ( finopecia) until i had taken about 10 tablets..when i read on the several websites on the internet about the side effects of the medicien i stopped taking it even though i had nt suffered any noticeable decrease in libido ..bt im sure minoxidyl hd caused me wrinkles under my eyes..bt the medicines showed result and i recovered my hair..bt a few months after i discontinued teh medicines i started suffering from hair loss again and for the last few montsh it has been very severe..strange thin is that it is all over my head..even side burns and back of the head.. nw the doctor has again asked me to take finastride.. when i told him about my reluctance to do so.. he prescribed me morr-f a solution to be applied externally which contains both minoxydil and finastride.. i would like to know about your experiences with these medicines.. thanks
