Been on finasteride for 3 years now but suddenly a month ago I started getting testicle pain and it's still present. It's not really exactly on the testicle but on the area connecting the groin to the scrotum. Went to the doctor and did a urine test and ultrasound of my testicles and everything is good.
It's not really THAT painful but definitely enough to distract me and make me really uncomfortable. My plan is to stop finasteride for some time (Maybe 1 month) and see if the pain goes away or not. If the pain goes away but comes back after starting finasteride again then I might need to stop using it for even a longer time and if it still continues then I might need to stop using finasteride forever.
I'm not very sexually active so the sexual sides don't matter a lot to me but this side effect I can't live with honestly.
