Hi guys, I'm new here, so I apologise if this is in the wrong part of the forum.
Here's a little background story of me -
I'm 24, I wouldn't say my hairline is receding but I've noticed that my hair thickness is not as it used to be when I was 20-, the top front sides of my hair seem to be thinning, not at an alarming rate but nevertheless, thinning.
I've recently just started taking Dr Reddys' finasteride 1MG, I'm on my third day today & I've got a very small pain in my right testicle, I've been reading up on this and found a lot of information on it, none that is specific to me though so I'm wondering if anyone can help?
The pain isn't really painful at all, it only become a problem when I touch it or move to fast, walking does cause slight uncomfort but nothing that I would call concerning.
Is this a normal side effect that will go away soon? I've read that it's one of the less severe side-effects but when I've been reading other peoples stories and they seem to be suffering other symptoms aswel such as, penis shrinkage, water semen, I haven't experienced those yet, however what should I do as of now, carry on taking the product and hope I don't suffer anymore side effects/the pain stops, or stop altogether?
Also, I take other supplements aswel as finasteride, I take x1 multivitamin x1 Vitamin B complex, x1 Vitamin that contains Zinc & x2 Saw Palmetto tablets each day, should I discontinue any of these whilst I'm on finasteride?
Any information would be appreciated, thanks!
Edit - Does family history have anything to do with hairloss or can it be an indicator or what's to come?
My mothers side have really good hairlines, up until they turn about 40, that's when they get the "horse shoe" and I think around 50, my grandfather on my mothers side began going bald from the back.
My fathers side, my dad is 60 but he's got a semi-good head of hair, he's doing better than some of my friends, I've seen photos of him when he was in his mid 40s(I didn't really notice his hairline when I was young) and he had a really good head of hair, balding a bit at the back but for the front, it was a good hairline for someone of his age.
