Quit Finasteride 8 days ago

Ok I am not sure where to post my story, so I am posting it here. I have had a 15 year battle with prostate issues. Burning in the penis, vibration in penis that is almost constant that shoots down my left leg to my ankle.

I am 43, and last April, I had a cystoscopy. Uro told me I had possible interstitial cystitis and also my prostate was enlarged. So he put me on Elmiron and Finateride. I took finsateride exactly 10 months. It seems to have helped my prostate issues, but had occasional flare ups.

The past month or so, my right breast was enlarging. So I called the doctor, (who was on holiday…typical), so another urologist told me to stop taking finasteride, and made an appt. for the 15th of this month. So it has been 7 days now, my breast is not going back to normal, and a day after stopping the drug, the burning in my penis returned and has burned 24 hours a day since stopping finasteride 8 days ago. I am not sure if it is the finasteride doing this, or the heavy pushups I have been doing that is aggravating the penis nerves. This morning, I noticed a slight curve protruding inwards on the shaft of my penis while it was erect. Ejaculation burned like the devil, which is nothing new to me. But I am scared to death after reading this forum and learning about post finatseride side effects. I feel like a time bomb now :frowning:

I swim laps at least 4 miles a week, have been doing pushups on my knuckles to build up my pecks and hopefully reduce the fat in my breast. My diet is very limited I cant have any spicy foods, cant have vitamin C, too much to list. I am single (since my sex drive is history and sex is painful, I cant and have no interest in finding a girlfriend)I am 6’3 tall, stay at 203 to 205 lbs, so am not obese.

Anyways, thought I would share this story here. I hope 10 months isn’t long enough to get the bad side effects, but I know am not that lucky. The breast and the recent curving on the penis is what is working me now, along with constant burning.

It’s possible your body is very acidic which I has to much acid in the body. Have you tried to be more alkaline. You can get alkaline water (KANGEN WATER) this might help with the inflammation that is going on in your body.

Hope this helps
