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.

View allI had minor skin surgery and my doctor recommended a CBP test. The results show my RBC and RDW are high while MCH, MCV, and MCHC are lower than normal. I don't have any concerning symptoms and consider myself healthy should I be worried about these results?
Your RBC and RDW being high, along with low MCH, MCV, and MCHC, might suggest some mild anemia or other factors affecting red blood cells. Since you're not experiencing symptoms, its likely not a serious concern, but it's a good idea to follow up with your haematologist to understand the context of these results.

I'm dealing with these really itchy light brown spots that turn into dark black spots after I scratch them. It's so hard not to scratch because they itch so much! They're mostly on my lower legs and lower back. A couple of years ago, I had the same thing on my arms and hips, and those black spots never went away. Now it's flaring up again. What could be causing this, and what can I do to treat it?
