Hair loss can be a terrible experience and a lot of men are troubled by this in their life. Men are also increasingly taking to ways of preventing hair fall and a lot of men are also using drugs in order to get their hair back.

Meanwhile experts suggest that the drugs may or may not help you grow your hair, but they can ruin your sex life leaving you with erectile dysfunction that may last for years. A study mentioned that people might be left impotent for four years after finishing the treatment.

Men affected by this said that they were unable to get an erection even after taking Viagra. Men who take Finasteride and Dutasteride are affected by this issue, since both of them are hormone blockers and prevent testosterone from becoming active.

The news may come as troubling news for balding men, and they might just want to try alternative treatment methods with less devastating side effects.
