Testicles increased in size possibly Finasteride?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hello, I started Finasteride about 7 weeks ago. And one of the side effects many people talk about is testicle pain.

After about 3 weeks I felt a sharp pain sensation in my right testicle/tubes that connect to it which then evolved into a dull ache in both my testicles for about 2 weeks. The pain started to go away, however I get mild and random pain for a few seconds here and there, but I noticed today that both my testicles feel bigger and my scrotum feels more full/soft. I also have had dull aches in my groin area and sometimes in my lower abdomen. None of these are intense pain and I haven't had a fever yet.

Finasteride increases testosterone levels while you adjust, is this something that can happen to someone dealing with a hormonal change? Can I have an infection without fever or intense pain? I'm seeing my doctor in about 2 weeks but I'm terrified of testicular cancer.

Also I'm going to stop taking Finasteride until I find out what it is.
