It is also used for enlarged prostates (benign prostatic hyperplasia). Finasteride has been proven to be highly effective, leading to the majority of users experiencing reduced hair loss and even hair regrowth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>However, as with any medication, some users may experience side effects of finasteride, which can include sexual dysfunction in men. Despite erectile dysfunction being fairly uncommon in men who take finasteride, it can be a worry for many.

This means that finasteride blocks the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which usually allows the conversion of the hormone, testosterone, to another hormone called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/hair-loss\/what-is-dihydrotestosterone-dht-3\/\">dihydrotestosterone (DHT)<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DHT reduces the blood supply to the hair follicles on the scalp, leading to their shrinkage. This causes thinner hair to grow from the follicle and eventually can result in patches of hair loss. This process is the root cause of androgenetic alopecia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By blocking 5-alpha reductase, finasteride ensures less testosterone will be converted to DHT. This means that hair follicles in the scalp will remain a normal size and as a result, will grow thicker, healthier hair. In some cases, finasteride can recover hair follicles which have stopped producing hair, leading to the appearance of new hair growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, due to affecting the way testosterone is handled within your body, finasteride may cause erectile dysfunction. It is thought that, since finasteride blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT, there will be more unconverted testosterone. This then triggers alternative pathways in the body to convert the testosterone into another hormone called estradiol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Estradiol is a hormone when in increased levels in men, can lead to a reduced libido and erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, stopping finasteride can lead to long term issues, such as post-finasteride syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-i-use-finasteride-if-i-have-a-history-of-ed\">Should I Use Finasteride if I Have a History of ED?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision to take finasteride tablets is dependent on each person. Everyone is unique, and the effects a medication will have will vary from person to person. It is important to highlight that sexual side effects including erectile dysfunction is an uncommon side effect when taking finasteride, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/11809594\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">with &lt;2% experiencing them in one particular study<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if you have concerns that you may be at risk of developing ED problems, then there are ways to help prevent it or treat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alternative-hair-loss-treatments\"><strong>Alternative Hair Loss Treatments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are other medication options to treat hair loss; while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/online-doctor\/hair-loss\/dutasteride\/\">dutasteride<\/a> works in a similar way to finasteride, treatments such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/online-doctor\/hair-loss\/oral-minoxidil\/\">minoxidil<\/a> operate mainly on the blood vessels themselves, making it less likely you will experience side effects related to ED. However, they do have their own potential side effects, and may not be suitable for all patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-continue-taking-finasteride\"><strong>Continue Taking Finasteride<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first option recommended would be to continue taking finasteride despite experiencing adverse effects like ED. The reason for this is because it takes a period of time for your body to get used to taking a new medication, and this then can result in some symptoms that resemble side effects. These can disappear as time goes on when you keep taking finasteride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reduce-finasteride-to-a-lower-dose\"><strong>Reduce Finasteride to a Lower Dose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can discuss with a healthcare professional to see if decreasing your dose of Finasteride will help with ED. However, it is important to note that reducing your finasteride might mean that it will be less effective at preventing hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-avoid-taking-nsaids\"><strong>Avoid Taking NSAIDs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NSAIDs are medications that include aspirin and ibuprofen. Previous studies have shown that taking NSAIDs can increase the risk of developing ED in males. So, avoiding taking NSAIDs will help reduce the chance of ED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-erectile-dysfunction-medications\"><strong>Erectile Dysfunction Medications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to continue to take finasteride at your normal dose and are still experiencing reduced libido and erectile dysfunction, then there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/online-doctor\/erectile-dysfunction\/\">treatment options<\/a> available. These include other medications, such as <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/online-doctor\/erectile-dysfunction\/sildenafil\/\" title=\"sildenafil\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"51\">sildenafil<\/a>, that can help with ED whilst continuing finasteride. However, it is important that you talk to your doctor before making decisions on deciding if this is the best and safest treatment option for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These medications may also have potential side effects, including allergic reactions and effects on your cardiovascular system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finasteride is a highly effective and relatively safe treatment option for hair loss. A side effect that can concern many men is the chance of developing erectile dysfunction. This is fairly uncommon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>However, if you do experience ED whilst taking finasteride, there are options out there to help. Please discuss with a healthcare professional to understand more about finasteride and ED to see if it is the best treatment option for your hair loss.<\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"container\" data-elementor-id=\"10730\" class=\"elementor elementor-10730\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-743f79b4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"743f79b4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3df9bb89 cta-heading elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3df9bb89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">See our range of ED treatments starting from 50p \/ tablet<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82b4b58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"82b4b58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/online-doctor\/erectile-dysfunction\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">View the range<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a number of factors.
