So,

I have been losing hair for a while (6-7 yrs) and recently started finasteride. minoxidil always gives me non stop shedding for months. So gave it up, just started with finasteride (0.25 mg ed) for about 1.5 months now. After a couple of weeks shedding went ffrom 150-200 to 0-5!!

Excellent results, and pic differences aren't there yet since regrowth is yet to come but I am sure it will since i have lot of follicles alive.

But the one MAJOR problem is testicle ache..Was non stop for a few days in beginning sometimes sharp and sometimes dull ALWAYS on the LEFT one..Then it stopped and just showed up once in a while but every time i ejaculate (~1x a week) i would get a ball ache the next day or two..

My T is close to 1200 on a range of 1100 (max) and E went to 36 form 20. DHT was at 90 (max range 80) and went to ~20.

I have read various posts on this forum about ball ache and it goes away for most, but was just curious if people had any advice?

I am looking to at least try it for 6 months get some regrowth and then slowly taper off it and reduce dht through supps, diet or try something like ru58841 since it's clear DHT is my main issue.

Is it dangerous to get the ball ache? I read it might be a case of blue balls as well.

Should i see a urologist to get my balls checked? Never had any pain before finasteride..

Ball ache normally occurs for bodybuilders once they start PCT and their balls start producing T again.
Do you know what your LH levels are ? Both before and after starting finasteride.
It could just be the fact your balls are producing an increased amount of test.

So last test it was 4...before this i was on topical finasteride and when i went off it my LH went to 7. My T was at 1100 or so..Free T was 187 with a max range of 155..

So not sure what's happening, it especially starts hurting after ejaculation for the next 1-2 days..Anything else I can do now?? Don't want to stop finasteride since it's super effective..
