Hi and thank you so much for this query.

The side effects of sexual dysfunction caused by finasteride are not permanent after discontinuation. However, it would be good to talk to your doctor about your discontinuation of this medication because the reasons for which it were prescribed could be more important than putting up with the side effect of sexual dysfunction. Do you have any idea why this medication was prescribed? Can you please share that with me for more personalised information?

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thank you so much for using our services, we very much appreciate this.
