Welcome to health care magic.

Your concern about decrease in sperm quantity is a well known side effect of finasteride.Do not worry unless it affects your normal sexual function .
If there is decrease in libido and sexual function ,you will have to stop the medication. Please consult your physician if you have any of these symptoms.

OK AND TAKE CARE.
