Hello there! I have been taking 5mg proscar for my enlarged prostate for more than 5 years. It is good medicine! But causes unwanted side effects. My libido is very low.. My life is no longer fun! I am so upset! Sometimes I come back to see my specialist Dr and tell him about this but he smiles and tells me to try a viagra or up to you, no help! Then day after day I was suffering with these problems. One day I searched the news online and found some herbal medicine such as Saw Palmetto to treat my enlarged prostate but I am very carefully evaluating myself to find any problem before using it. I searched on this website I found out that this herbs reacts to Xarelto (my blood thinner)!! Oh my God! Nobody understands my lonely feeling! Is anyone in a similar situation as me? Please tell me some advice. Thanks.

Both Xarelto and Proscar can cause libido problems as side effects, according to FDA reports. Thus, if your doctor approves of your trying Viagra, that might be the best way to go.

Many people do understand, it's just that there are only so many possible treatment options that may help. There is no shame in using Viagra, if you need it. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stuffy nose, and priapism. There are many men that need to take it, especially as they get older, or take certain medications.

Sometimes, we ladies also need a boost to help due to the same types of issues. Such things can happen to everyone and there's nothing wrong with needing an assist to get it on.

Are these the only medications you take?
