Refer to the previous answer.
Men that have high cholesterol often have ED. Finasteride can cause exacerbate ED. You are a candidate for all types of treatment and should start with medications like Viagra or Cialis. You should check with your physician about possibly starting the Finasteride.

Get evaluated for UroLift and if you are a candidate, you may be able to discontinue your Flomax and Finasteride, which may be contributing to your ED. If ED is still an issue after that, then Cialis 20mg as needed would be a good option. Visit www.RadRoboticSurgery.com for more information.
