Despite stopping both medications, ED persisted, and hair loss worsened. Advice given includes considering tadalafil for ED, resuming finasteride, using minoxidil, and addressing psychological factors through positive thinking and lifestyle changes.

Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of oral minoxidil in combination with micro-needling.
