ECIA Safety Information: Propecia and Rumors about Erectile Dysfunction
In a recent study performed at the University of Bologna, Italy, research revealed that Propecia did not impact erectile dysfunction in men. Comparing men taking a placebo and men taking once-a-day Propecia, there was no significant difference in erectile dysfunction, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and orgasmic function.
For months now, there have been rumors that Propecia causes a men to suffer from erectile dysfunction. This new study has put this rumor to rest. The study, conducted by Professor Tosti, researched whether there were any adverse sexual effects on men who take Propecia. Each man was evaluated with the questionnaire, known as the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction.
The study surveyed a total of 200 men who were currently taking Propecia and then compared their answers to 200 men who were not taking Propecia. The findings of the study proved that there was no difference between the answers of the men. Both of their erectile and sexual function was similar and did not differ from the men who were the same age in the survey, whether they were taking Propecia or not.
When taking Propecia, levels of DHT in the prostate and scalp are lowered, but there is a very slight increase in the levels of testosterone in the body. Since testosterone, not DHT, is responsible for normal sexual function, Propecia is not linked to erectile dysfunction. Men no longer have to worry or listen to the rumors about Propecia and erectile dysfunction.
