The study found that a third of the men with prostatic hyperplasia developed erectile dysfunction after being exposed to finasteride. Interestingly, the study did not document the persistence of the erectile dysfunction after the exposure ended. Researchers also looked at the long-term use of finasteride, finding that its exposure increased men's chances of developing new erectile dysfunction over the course of 45 months.
