Just went on Propecia and having slight testicular pain
I am 30 years old and my hair has started to thin rapidly in the past 1/2 year. I went to my doctor and asked him to prescribe procepia. He was hestitant and told me to use rogaine first. I tried rogaine, but my scalp is too sensitive and it gave me scalp irratation. My doctor then prescribed me procepia. I have been taking propecia for 4 days and I have noticed from day one that I would get mild pain in one of my testicles. It comes and goes throughout the day. I have read various threads in this form stating various side effects start off initially and eventually will go away from continued use or switching use from daily to every other day. I just want to know if anyone had this experience on their use of propecia and what has happened to them in the long run (i.e. it goes away or got worse).
Been Using Proscar for 20 years
I have been using proscar/propecia (Finasteride) for 20 years and experience the same thing (testicular pain) if I use too much. To alleviate this I get a script (much cheaper solution) of Proscar (Finasteride) same exact active ingredient in Propecia and I score/break up a 5 mg tablet of Proscar into 4 tiny pieces and get results without the testicular pain. I asked my urologist about this and he said this should not be a problem.
