Hi All, I took propecia for 3 weeks and then quit due to achy balls. I took 1mg for about 14 days straight then stopped for 3 days, my balls still hurt but it was less pain so i gave it another go for 7 days and thats when they really hurt. Therefore i gave up.


However its now nearly 2 months and i still have ball ache everyday and all the time. My lower abdomen is also alittle sore like i have been doing sit ups


I went to see my GP who first sent me for a Ultrasound thinking it could be a Varicocele. However the Ultrasound showed no issues. Went again to the GP who says there is not much he can do if nothing shows up on the Ultrasound. I told him i needed something to help relieve the pain so he gave me antibiotics just in case it was a infection. 1 week in and no improvements...

Does anyone know what i should do next or what this issue could be. I dont have any other issues apart from the ache. I could ask the GP to send me to a Urologist but i know this will take a long time...etc, thanks

I had ball ache on finasteride for about a week after starting it; didn't have it at all after leaving finasteride.
I think maybe finasteride is doing something to the prostate (increasing the volume or something?) as I too had the stomach/ball aching?
Sorry I haven't had more help than that
