I've been on Proscar 1mg or 1.25mg (depending on if I get the first cut right) every day for the past 2 months. No side effects what so ever, still able to have sex, ejaculation volume, viscosity all the same etc.
However today I noticed a lump, around pea sized under my right nipple on the edge around the '9 o'clock position' I guess I'd say.
This was definitely not there last night, or at least it didn't hurt when pressed, I am definitely not imagining it it is there.
Is it normal for this (Gyno I assume) to appear so quickly?
I really don't want to stop taking finasteride, I'm worried if I go to my GP he'll make a note and I won't be able to be prescribed it again or something... He didn't seem like he knew about finasteride too much, I just said "I want Proscar for hairloss" and he said "ok", I didn't bother getting any blood tests done for my hormone levels which I wish I did now so that I could compare..
I can't think of anything else it could be, I used to lift weights when I was younger (I'm 22 now) and had a solid chest, chest is still athletic now just not as firm, I'm 5',11" 65-70kgs and never been overweight.. I currently do no exercise, but I eat pretty healthy, although drink quite a lot of alcohol..
I don't know whether to lower my dosage to 0.5mg (I know 0.5mg block about the same DHT as 1mg, so pointless probably), stop completely, it doesn't sound like it will just go away and if I'm going to stop it would be best to do it now.
I see there are other Drugs (Tamoxifen etc.) Maybe I could just continue with finasteride every other day and use one of those estrogen inhibitors.
F*ck I don't know, why is this so damn hard, can't bloody win. Sorry if my post is all over the place, I was just starting to feel really good about my regime.
