A member asked:

I can't get a full erection without a girl. i just started propecia (finasteride) 1-2 months ago so maybe that could have something to do with it?

Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Common side effect: Please discuss this with the prescribing doctor. Dr. Will probably advise stopping if u r taking it to combat male pattern baldness. Could be replaced by another medication or resection of prostate if taken for benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph).
