Persistent sides from finasteride

[sadscalp]

I quit finasteride a year ago, and I haven't been normal since. I'm experiencing the following symptoms (they come and go):

- Prostate discomfort. When my bladder or intestine are full, my testicles "retract", and my penis looks somewhat odd.
- Low libido. This comes and goes, sometimes I have no libido at all, other times it's decent.
- Difficulty achieving an erection (sometimes)
- Discomfort in the genital area (testicles, penis).
- Weird sperm, sometimes very thick and gel-like, other times thin.
- I don't quite feel like I used to anymore, something is different.
- varicocele (mild, may or may not be related).

I'm guessing I should go see a doctor and get my hormones checked? If I have low testosterone, do I have to go on meds for the rest of my life?

Basically what I'm asking is: am I fucked?

Stay away from Finasterid and start exercising and eating healthy. It's the only thing you can do if you have permanent side effects from this stuff.
Take it from one who started finasteride because of this forum and ended up lurking everyday at http://www.propeciahelp.com
