Psychologist 's  Response
Hello,

Some studies demonstrated that there was a slightly increased risk of sexual side effects in patients taking finasteride for male pattern baldness, including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction and ejaculation disorders.

But these studies are not conclusive. I suggest you talk to your skin specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr K. V. Anand, Psychologist
