I Found a Lump Under My Nipple After Taking Propecia

I was on Propecia for a year after about 9 months I got a lump under my left nipple. I also had to work really hard to get an erection. I stopped taking the drug and all sides went back to normal and I have just become a father so no damage done. I was taking 1 pill per day I would like to start taking the drug again as I was having good results. is it possible for me to lower the dosage and will this reduce the sides. I look forward to hearing from you thank you and keep up the good work

If you have or had breast lumps, this can be a serious issue and you need to have a physical exam. Your doctor needs to be aware of it. If you have erectile dysfunction you need to at least see a doctor to make sure there are no other medical issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or other medical conditions that may contribute to the issue. I realize this site is for discussing hair loss issues and Propecia is a medication that may cause the side effects you are describing, but nevertheless you still need to see your doctor about these issues.

I am glad to hear that your side effects all went away. If you want to restart Propecia, talk to your doctor regarding a possible dosage change that may diminish or ameliorate the side effects. Remember that 1/2 of a Propecia (0.5mg finasteride) is considered 70 to 80% as effective as the full 1mg dose in treating genetic MPB.
