Hello to everyone,

I have been on .5mg Finasteride for about 2 weeks now, and at first I noticed a bit of the "ball ache" that many have reported before. I assumed this was part of the normal process and continued on, and this has now thankfully subsided. I have not really noticed any other side effects, except that in the last few days I have felt a bit of a dull pain in my penis. I am still very horny, no loss in libido. I can still get it up and have sex. But I am feeling a bit of dull pain in the shaft during the day, and I wondering if this is cause for concern, if anyone has experienced this before, or if this is a sign that I am not reacting well to the drug. I'm not in panic mode at all so I don't think it is anything psychological.

I am just wondering, you know sometimes after sex or whamming it if you go at it a bit hard the penis can be a bit sore... maybe I should abstain from sexual activity for a week and see if it goes away? if not then stop the drug?

Any input or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

could be a side effect. Speaking to a doctor is your best option - maybe you could get it examined and rule out any other causes
