Hi guys. I've been on 1mg of finasteride for about 8 consecutive months now. I can't say I've really seen any results although I do think less hair falls out when I shower. I was experiencing some minor sides from time to time. Watery semen sometimes, breast tenderness and an occasional ache in my testicle. None of it really bothered me and for all I know I was just being paranoid. I saw my doctor yesterday and explained this to him, he examined me and said he did feel something under my left nipple. He said it was tiny and might not be anything serious but it did feel uncomfortable when he pressed it. He said that the finasteride could've caused it, or it could be due to smoking pot. I said I didn't want to stop using the finasteride and that I wanted to continue on for another month or 2, and then at that point maybe have another check up to make sure it didn't get any worse. At that point, if it did get worse, I guess I would have to stop the finasteride. What do you guys think? Should I be worried? Should I take half a pill? I don't want to go bald but I'd rather be bald than have man boobs! Suggestions please!

You could check if you have elevated estrogene / low test. Ask your Doctor if you could do that test.
