Layth Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hi everyone , I'm new to this post and have a question regarding propecia and breast cancer. I'm currently 34, started taking pro when I was in my mid-20s. I discontinued the propecia last year when I began doing research that linked finastride and breast cancer. To be quiet honest it freaked me and I discontinued the propecia. I have been on minoxidil ever since and its ok but nothing like the effects of the propecia. Does anyone have an idea if breast cancer is linked to propecia ? A study in 2013 by the journal of urology proved otherwise and revealed that there is no link between the 2. At this point I don't know what to believe. Anyone have any insight or opinions on this topic. Will be greatly appreciated. Best , layth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnkelso Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I think that there is no link between propecia and breast cancer. My aunt was suffering from breast cancer, she had taken treatment from breast cancer radiation Westchester, where which the radiation is given in the malingnated area and near to it, so that it does not cause any side effects.

Senior Member Djlazerblue Posted June 5, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2017 I belive it's listed in the possible side effects that in can increase your risk of breast cancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Vainism Posted June 5, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) One of the potential symptoms/side effects is gynocmestia...fat deposits are distributed through the gland behind ur nipple. but this only happens if you're prone. Lipsosuction is required to remove them, Test production stops being produced which causes you're estrogen to rise (Bit*h tits) If you didn't get gyno when you used the product for 10 years then you have nothing to worry about! On the other hand i've been on propecia for 4 months and my nipples are tender, and the gland is growing again, i have a big lump behind my left nipple....just means I had to reduce my dosage to 0.625 to reduce the side effect. It's not breast cancer. Edited June 5, 2017 by Vainism spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layth Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thanks for the reply vainism, How is the lump ? Has it disappeared since reducing the dosage ? Layth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
