Testicular Pain 2 Days After Finasteride Use
Hi Dr.Rassman
i’m 27 yr old and have been taking finasteride for a week now, i have been prescribed finepecia as propecia is not available in india, my doc says that both of em are same, anyways my concern is that i have been having testicular pain after the 2nd day of use, its mild but remains, will it subside? also i am very much concern about the sexual side effects. i have recently quit smoking and in college i have had my fair share of marijuana…will these things aggravate the side effects. what do u suggest should i stop it or continue ?
Smoking cigarettes and using marijuana can have negative sexual side effects independent of Propecia use. With respect to testicular pain after starting Propecia, I have occasionally heard reports of this as a relatively rare side effect. Usually the pain is not significant and will subside. However, it is more important to check with your doctor and notify him/her of this problem since the testicular pain may signify other serious medical problems unrelated to the Propecia use.
Dear guys,
Two month ago i started Finastride 1mg as my doc told me to do and i felt the pain in my testicles within two days and it got worse everyday till the 5th day that I couldn’t think this is bearable so, I stooped the pill and the pain disappeared in a week. now i started again with 0.25 mg of the medicine and again the second day I felt the pain. any ideas? should I keep up so maybe it goes away?
