After 2y Of Taking finasteride, One Doctor Got My Brain Fcked Up And Having Sides ?

[Lilija]

Hello guys, i need some help.

So one week ago i went to the dermatologist for a non related hair loss issue.
Told him i was taking finasteride and he started to convice me to stop it.
Listened to him but as i had good hair recovery i don't plan to stop ...

The thing is, ever since i went to this doctor, i'm feeling this left ball discomfort.
It was the only side i got when i first started finasteride, and it got away with the time. Or maybe rather (i'm not sure), the feeling reduced to the point i wasn't noticing it anymore.

Now i'm constantly thinking about it, why since more than 2 years i never noticed it, and now all of the sudden i'm obsessed with this ?
It's not painful, but this feeling is annoying me. And it's only when i sit for some time.
I started to reduce my finasteride intake from 1mg to 0.5mg just to see if this feeling will fade away, do you think it will also reduce the efficiency of the treatment ?

Did anybody had that phase ? Sides appearing after talking with someone or finding news on the internet ?

It could happen yes, it's called the nocebo effect and even if it's not that frequent as pharmaceutical companies would like us to think it is, it could happen yes. And consider that men can have in their lifetime periods when the balls have some discomfort, there are a lot of reasons for it but most of them are not to worry about. Just relax, take some magnesium and take your mind of it, if it does not diminish with time maybe see an urologist to have a look at it but i wouldn't stress it, i'm sure it will go away with time, it can happen by wrong positioning of one of the balls, maybe sitting leg over another and many other reasons, in 99% of the cases it will go away on it's own... finasteride can cause it also but the majority of reports say also that it goes away on it's own, maybe after the body adapts the new values of test production..

Yes i know psychological state can play a big role ...
I often crossing legs especially when i sleep, maybe i got a nerve stuck or something ...
I started to feel good about my hair and facing this is really stressing me ...
