Proscar/propecia (Finasteride)

Post by ppp »

I have been thinking about taking Propecia (Finasteride) due to an acceleration of hair loss lately. However I noticed that some Fin/propecia users have described side effects that resemble those that some of us have (Testicle pain, ED, numbness).

I thought there must be some people here who have taken either propecia or proscar (same thing different dose) for hair or other issues. Would you say this has worsened symptoms ?

Would love to get your opinions. I would say that in addition to my CPPS, hair loss induces much stress and probably anger/frustration in me. That is why I have been contemplating this.

Thanks
Age: 33| Onset Age: 24 | Symptoms: dull ache in pelvic area, tension, feeling the need to urinate, frequency, dribbling after urination, ED symptoms started 6 moths after the onset wrecking my life since, abdominal tension, tension in my thighs. | Helped By: stretching/massage , benzos | Worsened By: Mainly sex, but also sitting and anxiety| Other comments: I have seen periods of substantially less flare-ups, but now I am at a steady state where it comes back almost always after sex.
