I'm really worried about the side effects of finax 1mg that I've been prescribed for my hair loss. Can you tell me just how much it might reduce my libido or even cause erectile dysfunction?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The side effects of finax 1mg (Finasteride) on libido and erectile dysfunction are uncommon. Less than 2% of men may experience a decrease in libido, and even fewer may experience erectile dysfunction. These side effects are usually reversible upon discontinuation of the medication. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage regimen to minimize the risk of experiencing these side effects.

I've been masturbating about once a week for the past eight years, but in the last four months, I've been experiencing this itching all over my body, especially on my face, chest, stomach, and thighs every time I do. It started out lasting just a day, but now it can persist for a week or more. What could be causing this, and what kind of medication or treatment might help?
Despite normal TMT, ECG, blood tests, and chest X-ray, you're experiencing persistent pain in your left arm and chest. Consider the following potential causes: *Musculoskeletal Issues* 1. *Costochondritis*: Inflammation of the cartilage connecting ribs to the breastbone, causing chest pain. 2. *Muscle strain*: Overuse or injury to muscles in your chest, shoulder, or arm. *Gastrointestinal Issues* 1. *Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)*: Stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus, causing chest pain. 2. *Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)*: Conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis can cause chest pain. *Cardiovascular Issues* 1. *Microvascular angina*: Reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, causing chest pain. 2. *Pericarditis*: Inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, causing chest pain. *Other Possible Causes* 1. *Anxiety or stress*: Tension and stress can cause muscle tightness, leading to chest and arm pain. 2. *Hypothyroidism*: An underactive thyroid gland can cause muscle pain and weakness. 3. *Vitamin deficiencies*: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or D can cause muscle pain and weakness. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a cardiologist*: Rule out any underlying cardiovascular issues. 2. *Gastrointestinal evaluation*: Investigate potential gastrointestinal causes with a gastroenterologist. 3. *Musculoskeletal evaluation*: Consult an orthopedic specialist or a physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) doctor to assess musculoskeletal issues. 4. *Stress management*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.

I'm 26 and my skin is really dry. I've noticed some wrinkles and nasolabial folds appearing, which seem quite noticeable now. I want to avoid filler injections, so I'm looking for ways to improve my skin with just medicines and external treatments like oils, creams, and moisturizers. I already switched from soap to a Nivea body wash, and from using Clean & Clear facewash to an AHA facewash. Lately, I've been using Aquastop sunscreen. I'm also trying a lemon sugar scrub for my dry skin and wrinkles and then applying a thick layer of castor oil. I've been doing this for about five days. Am I on the right track with this routine? Are there any specific creams, moisturizers, or serums that could help make my skin look more radiant and address these issues?
