Yes, common side effects of Finasteride include decreased libido (sex drive), erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence or ED), and decreased ejaculate volume.
ED has also been reported with Hytrin use but is far less common.
Talk with your doctor. He or she may be able to recommend treatment options, such as an erectile dysfunction medication. Depending on how severe your side effects are, he or she may also recommend that you adjust your dosage or try another medicine to treat your condition.
