Gyno after 9 months on oral finasteride

[JackMc1997]

Hi, so I’ve been on oral finasteride and minoxidil for roughly 9 months, for a good while there I figured I dodged any side effects until about 3 weeks ago when I noticed lumps behind my nipples… I don’t want to stop the medication however as it really helped me a lot as I was severely struggling with my mental health dealing with hair loss until I started taking it. Currently I’m planning on taking 4 weeks off, on my first full week today and then micro dosing, 1mg 3 days a week. I tried using topical but unfortunately I can’t get great coverage with it and that bothers me. Has anyone had any success micro dosing or just accepted the gyno and kept the 1mg daily intake and if so, how big does it get? As at this point I’m honestly considering the trade off if it saves my hair…

I had the same issue and stopped for a few weeks then dosed every other day and it went away. I'm now on it everyday but have been taking it for 20 years now everyday with no side effects that I notice.

Hmm my semen gets reduced and the quality of semen/sperm gets very bad plus I get retrograde ejaculation. So I cant take this drug. I cant phantom how ppl take this sh*t for that long. But never had gyno on dutasteride or finasteride.

Damn that’s amazing! I’m gonna try topical for a bit after 3 weeks and then possibly try a lower oral dose to see if that works

Bro dont bother. Well for me topical was just the same as oral side effect wise absolutely NO difference. For many men it easily penetrates the skin and into the blood anyway. Just reduce to oral twice a week monday-thursday. Not 3 times a week thats wayyy too often. It takes many days for DHT to return to baseline after stopping finasteride.
