You will have normal erection on quiting Finasteride .
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
You have been taking Finasteride for BPH and facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction
I would like to make comments on your query as detailed below -
1) Enlargement of Prostate is a progressive disease and is kept under control as long as one takes these drugs i.e. 5 alpha reductase inhibitors. It will grow again after you stop taking the drug
2)Your ED will get resolved and will have normal erection after you stop taking the drug. It generally takes a week to get normal erection
I would suggest you to take newer drug like Cialis (Tadalfil) 5 mg every day and 10-20 mg on the day of planned sexual activities along with Dutasteride once daily .
This combination works better and helps to have normal erection and take care of voiding urinary symptoms and improve urine flow due to BPH.
Hope I have answered your query .Feel free to ask if you have more questions . I shall be happy to help you .
Thanking you with Regards.
Dr.Patil.
