Breast Swelling After 6 Weeks On Finasteride

[smartbald]

Hello,

I have been losing my hair for 4 years now, I started taking finasteride 1mg/day almost 6 weeks ago and so far the results are pretty awesome, my hair’s
almost stopped shedding and I’m already starting to see some hair growth, I do have a problem though, a couple of days ago I noticed that both my right and left breasts have swollen a bit, it’s soft and painless and I am so worried about it, I’d rather be bald than developing man boobs,

I was wondering if any of you guys has experienced this side effect or if you have any advices for me, is it just a temporary thing? should I stop taking finasteride??????

You should stop taking it, sadly it's gyno one of the side effects of finasteride, you have to consult with a dcotor, when you stop the drug the swelling should go away, if not your doctor will give you medication, you should consult with a specialist.

Nipples can get puffy from finasteride. But it can stay that way and stop progressing even if you continue taking finasteride. If you stop it will get normal again. But if you continue the other flip side can be that you get those b**ch tits.

Only you can decide if its worth the risk.
