Swollen Testicles from Propecia?

hi doc,
i read lots of your posts regarding testicular pain when on propecia, but could not find the one on swollen testicles.I have been taking the pill for a week now and both of my testicles are
swollen.Though there is no pain.I am very much scared and even considering to stop the drug.Kindly advise. is it normal and will go away over time as i continue using the drug or should i
stop taking the pill.did you come across these type of cases in your patients.

your comments would be of immense help to me.I will talk to my doctor also.

Every now and then we do see patients with complaints of testicular pain or swelling. According to the results of the research on this topic, the rate of these side effects in patients who are taking Propecia (finasteride 1mg) is exactly the same as those on the placebo. If you are experiencing these side effects, you have to see your doctor to rule out other conditions that can cause those kinds of symptoms. Some of these medical conditions may be serious and need urgent evaluations such as incarcerated hernia or torsion of testicles. You can restart the medication if everything is OK and obviously missing a few days of finasteride is not life threatening.
