Diagnosed with prostate cancer about 7 yrs ago. Did not have it removed. Sexual ability has steadily declined. I know age (75) has something to do with but I'd like to find an alternative to finesteride, which I believe is causing the problem.
I'm also taking Losartin for high blood pressure which keeps me at about 130/70. However, not sure I can take viagra, etc safely.

Hi 75, the Finasteride and the BP meds can both effect you sexually. They did me. And your age to a point. I opted for surgery to open up the urethra. It too had its problems, but after a year they were pretty well resolved. My doc put me on Levitra then switch to Cialis due to cost. The Cialis works very nicely. I also regrew my foreskin, and that my a huge difference. There should be no reason you shouldn't be able to get back to a better sex life. Just keep pushing your doctor.
