Regular Member purple18 Posted January 10, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2019 I recently had a HT about 6 weeks back, and at that time began using Finasteride. Was on no hairloss drugs prior. I was having some major sexual sides initially - felt like my penis was totally dead. I then started to use Minoxidil about 4 weeks post HT. Once I began to use minoxidil, I noticed that the sexual side effects I attributed to Finasteride ceased, and the past couple weeks I have had even more erectile activity than prior to beginning all of this. Minoxidil's a vasodilator, so it makes logical sense. Why is all the talk on this pointing in the direction of ED, but I'm getting a boost? Experiences?

Senior Member Legend007 Posted January 10, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 10, 2019 It’s either in ur head or .. if going by ur logic . I would take it step further and apply Minixodil to ur pubic hair near the groin area , so minoxidil vasodilator mechanisms will increase blood flow nearer to ur penis . = increased rock hard erections = bro science (‘.^) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not a particularly common misconception, the minoxidil is actually supposed to go on your head--not on your dick.

It worked a little in some people, but didn't really do anything conclusive. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022534717352175 But seriously. Either I came out the other side on a side effect window on Fin, or this Minox has solved all my problems with Fin. It's the only variable I changed.

Senior Member Legend007 Posted January 10, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 10, 2019 It’s not the Minoxidil .. it’s ur body adjusting to finasteride in ur system and ur body is now reacting normally to it now .. that’s why most people stop feeling the side effects after a few weeks of using it.

MoonlightDancer Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 No, it is actually capable of causing severe and sometimes permanent ED in some small percentage of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
