Hey, y’all.
Like the title said, I decided to start taking meds to take action against hair loss. A doctor prescribed me 0,5 dutasteride and 1 mg minoxidil a couple of months ago, but it wasn’t until three days ago that I started to take them, because I was very worried about the possible side effects.
I discovered this sub, and recurred to the chatGPT link that is posted in here, because I had so many doubts.
I am 38, and my blood, APE, and heart tests came out alright. I tend to do physical activity, but I haven’t been doing that much activity since 2 months, I don’t have too much free time available.
I asked the AI what would be the odds of getting ED, high risk cancer, etc, and it said that they were pretty low, and that most side effects are reversible.
After that, I felt more confident. I don’t like how my balding is evolving: receding hairline, a mild bald crown and two bald patches at the temples, and so, I started to took the pills.
Then, I tried to test if I can get hard normally. The first day I think I was okay. The second day I got a pretty hard erection, but this morning, the third day, it was something like half-half, but I did ejaculate. Later that same day, I tried to test it again, masturbating, and I got hard, but I felt that it was getting soft too while I was masturbating. I got like, i dunno, 75% hard and ejaculated, and I felt very worried and disapointed.
Could it be also due to “excessive” masturbation? Before taking the pills, I was doing it like three times a day (I was on vacation, so I had the time), and I had quite the death grip. Currently I am feeling a bit of pain down there when I am starting to get hard. That happened to me before, so I think I could get better if I stop yanking it that much for some days, but I am still worried.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Should I stop taking the pills?
