    condition with persistent side effects after stopping finasteride

    Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) is a condition that some individuals experience after discontinuing the use of finasteride, a medication commonly prescribed for hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Symptoms can include persistent sexual dysfunction, depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairments, which may continue for months or even years after stopping the drug. The exact cause of PFS is not well understood, and it remains a topic of ongoing research and debate within the medical community.
