[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 30076, member: 3"] Seven hundred men participated in the study. Of those, 470 (mean age 58) took 5 mg of finasteride each day. The remaining 230 men (mean age 63) took 0.4 mg of tamsulosin. The men were followed for up to 45 months. Every three months, and at follow-up appointments, the men's testosterone levels were checked. Participants also completed the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire at these points. Over time, IIEF scores declined for men taking finasteride, indicating poorer erectile function. This worsening of ED did not resolve over time. In contrast, the men taking tamsulosin did not experience any worsening of ED. Also, total testosterone levels decreased for the men taking finasteride. This did not occur in the tamsulosin group. - See more at: [URL]http://www.issm.info/news/sex-health-headlines/finasteride-use-associated-with-ed-low-testosterone/#sthash.F4BmeXU3.dpuf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
