A recent study reports that
Propecia may cause persistent sexual dysfunction in 5 to 23 percent
of the men who take the pill.
The study, recently by GW University Professor of Medicine Michael
S. Irwig and published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, reveals
that finasteride – an antiandrogen that treats hair loss and is
found in popular male pattern baldness drug Propecia – can cause
persistent sexual dysfunction, including low sexual desire, erectile
dysfunction and problems with orgasms.
More than one million men take Propecia to treat male pattern
baldness. The findings indicate that between 50,000 and 230,000
patients may be experiencing side effects.
Propecia side effects may also include an increased risk of
developing an aggressive form of prostate cancer and breast cancer.
