Hello there. I am currently suffering from the sexual side effects of Rogaine Foam Extra Strength. I wanted to share my story and see if anybody out there could share their similar experiences as it would be very helpful to hear from other people that have been through something similar. I used three months worth of Rogaine Foam during a five-month period basically because I wasn't diligent about using it every day and would occasionally be forgetful. After two months I noticed my penis being smaller and softer when flaccid and lost both morning and daytime erections but didn't make the connection with the Rogaine. That seems strange now but I thought it might just be a phase I was going through (by the way I am 38 years old). After a month off the Rogaine while waiting for a new order to arrive I started to use the new order last week and it has had an instant impact on me. After four days of use I was unable to maintain a healthy erection with my partner for the first time in memory. The following day I went to the bathroom to use the Rogaine - and the penny finally dropped that perhaps this was what had been causing the problems. After then visiting various online forums such as this one it is fairly obvious the Rogaine has been causing the problems as my case is similar to so many others. In the three days since I stopped using Rogaine I haven't actually been able to gain an erection of any kind with or without manual stimulation. The doctor prescribed me Cialis and I took half a tablet last night. After taking that, this morning I was able to maintain a good erection fairly comfortably for around three hours. I take this to be a good sign - i.e. if I am able to respond to the Cialis and get an erection then clearly something down there is still working. But clearly it is a concern that I haven't been able to gain a natural erection of any kind for three days now. My penis - flaccid, obviously - had a cold and tingling sensation to it which comes and goes but is there most of the time. it appears I have had a fairly strong reaction to the Rogaine. I would like anybody out there that has had similar issues with it to share their thoughts as there are several things I am wondering about: 1. Should it be particularly worrying that I cannot get any sort of erection at all without Cialis? The erection with Cialis was pretty good but it's a bit perturbing to get nothing at all without; 2. Is time really the best healer in this case? I have read reports of these things taking anywhere from two weeks to eight or nine months to improve. 3. Is there anything that people out there did that they found helped their condition - i.e. taking natural supplements, drinking water, drinking green tea? I'm willing to be patient until this condition improves but obviously if there are natural treatments or dietary changes that have helped speed up the process I'd be very interested in hearing. Oh, and the doctor said it was probably a psychological problem and hadn't heard of Rogaine. Needless to say I'll be going back to see him next week and telling him what I've learned online All feedback welcome, thanks in advance - much appreciated
