Minoxidil 5% ED, Dizziness, Headache, Testicle pain

[Megagp]

Hi, I am 24 yo, no medical conditions and had been using Minoxidil 5% for 1.5months(50 ml used in total), after this period I suddently started to have headaches, dizziness, zero libido and ED. I stopped using after the first symptoms and now is the second week without minox, but it is still pretty bad. 6 days ago I started to feel testicle pain which is still there, the erection is at 80% and the libido is at 40%. Headaches are still existent and blood circulation is messed up(head gets hot randomly, lower bpm than usual).

Are there any advices for what can I do to ease this situation?

Minoxidil is vasodilator. It’s for topical use, but can absorb to your body too. More or less. ED is not on the list of symptoms. Why don’t ask consultation of your GP?

Possible results on men can be seen after 12 months usage.

I was assuming it cannot cause ED, but never had any issues about that so I did some research and found out that it can cause problems.

And a consultation to a doctor is only possible after 3 weeks because of the lockdown... so I do not know how to act properly...

I would suggest that the correct course of action would be to suspend use of the minoxidil until you can seek medical advice about the side effects you are experiencing.
