Had gynecomastia removed with surgery at 18. Clearly had/have some messed up hormones. Will that mean im at a higher likely hood of getting it again on fin?
The gynecomastia from adolescence doesn’t make your more sensitive to getting it when you take finasteride than anyone else.
I’m 19 and I’ve been taking 1 mg of fin daily for one week. My libido has dropped and it takes forever to get an erection. I also have slight ball ache, watery semen, and possibly some headaches, but that’s probably just because I haven’t gotten enough sleep this week. I’m not paranoid to be honest. But will these side effects subside eventually? Should I try to ride them out? It’s mainly the low libido that’s worrying me. It’s unfortunate timing since I met a girl I really like recently.
If you have sexual side effect from finasteride and don’t reverse them by reducing the dose, then you should stop the drug. The risks for Post Finasteride Syndrome (if it exists) is high if you continue to take the drug. You should see the doctor who prescribed the drug to you for advice.
There have been 2.4 million prescriptions written for finasteride in 2020. This came from IQVIA reference source
This is a wonderful result from finasteride and minoxidil used for 6 months
