Regular Member Hank11 Posted September 24, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hey guys, Ive been on Finpecia for 5days now and i now have mild testicular pain. I know this is a known side effect and i have searched through the forum for related topics..all very vague though. My question is, should i be concerned and consult my GP? or ride it our for a while longer?. No other sides though, morning bone healthy as ever, no ED problems at all, and sex drive healthy. Hank.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted September 24, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted September 24, 2011 I had it for about my first two weeks. I almost quit. Kept on it and it went away at about the 14th day and it hasn't come back in 6 years.

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted October 2, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 2, 2011 I still get it sometimes now even after 10 years but its not really a pain it's more of a ache. I find it's best if you don't wear any tight boxers or jeans and if you nail your mrs it takes it away for a bit. Bonkerstonker! http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1977 Update I'm now on 12200 Grafts, hair loss has been a thing of my past for years.

Regular Member Hank11 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks for all the feedback, really appreciated. I decided to ride it out, and to my relief, a month later now, i have no side effects whatsoever. I have however noticed an increase in my sex drive?? Im not sure if this is normal but this seems to be the case with me. No noticeable changes yet, but i believe i should be patient and wait a few months for any noticeable change. My main goal is to keep what i have,any growth is a bonus. Il keep you guys posted. Hank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member kathie47 Posted October 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2011 well, there's at least one side effect I don't have to worry about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairsprint Posted October 25, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have however noticed an increase in my sex drive?? Did you say increase? Many report a decrease... Yours is an interesting experience...Have they changed the chemical formula secretly? Viagra and Finn rolled in one anyone...?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted October 25, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 25, 2011 There's always been a lot of evidence of an increased libido on Fin. Maybe even more common than the negative side effects.
