Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Erectile dysfunction is the side effect of finesteride.

You must stop it. There is no alternative without side effect.

You can use minoxidil 5 % scalp solution.

Take tab androanagen daily for 6 months.

This should give you some relief.

Let me know you have any other doubts.

you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
