An (Ir)reversible Affection of the Sexual Sphere: A Case Report
A 26-year-old man, otherwise healthy and without relevant medical history, began treatment with finasteride 1 mg for AGA. The treatment was discontinued after six months due to the development of genital hypesthesia and reduced ejaculatory potency, accompanied by a significant loss of sexual pleasure. Subsequently, hair transplantation was chosen as an alternative treatment for AGA. After discontinuation of the 5αRI and given the persistence of symptoms over a period of twelve months, the patient sought evaluation at his Family Health Unit in April 2024. During the appointment, a comprehensive anamnesis and physical examination were performed, ruling out possible physical, traumatic, psychological or relational causes, as well as lifestyle changes that could impact sexual health. The patient also denied any urinary or gastrointestinal tract disorders and musculoskeletal anomalies.
