Are you kidding me? Is it really present in semen? This is just very alarming to me. Do you have any facts to back up that statement? I have tried to research this very same topic and came across a few and the worse I read was that finasteride could be present in semen but in a very very little amount...

That is just crazy for a doctor to even mention this. Not to say the least worrying

I talked to my doctor and he said it can't be Propecia. He said it might be carpal tunnel. I don't and can't believe it can be Propecia but since that is the most recent new thing with me, I had to suspect. Not sure what it is yet.
