Brief Answer:
Don't worry,continue treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Finasteride is one of the most effective and commonly used medicines for male pattern hair loss.
The side effects like impotence are very very rare and also are completely reversible in nature.. which means that in case one develops such problem..then stopping the medicine will result in return of normal potency.
Now in your case.. Since you have not noticed any problems after starting the medicine,I would advise you to continue taking it regularly for one year at least. In addition,apply minoxidil five percent lotion one ml twice daily over the affected area of scalp. This will help in early re growth of hair.
Hope it helps
