I'm curious about the side effects of taking hair loss medication.

I've recently been diagnosed with hereditary alopecia and am concerned about the side effects of taking hair loss medication. The most common side effects seem to be gynecomastia and erectile dysfunction. While gynecomastia usually regresses after stopping the medication, the lack of clear information about erectile dysfunction and penis shrinkage leaves me anxious. I've heard that both side effects are caused by problems with nitric oxide supply to the penis due to decreased DHT levels. Many users who are taking the medication report penis shrinkage in their reviews. The medication requires a minimum of three months of initial use, which is too long to stop once side effects appear. Furthermore, some people seem to experience side effects even after discontinuing the medication, which makes me concerned about taking the medication.
