Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / January 2008Procsar - dull pain in testes?
Hello! I need help and advice! I'am 28 years old and I'm using a Proscar (finasteride) tablets due to treatment hairloss during last one month. Now i have dull pain in left testes and in groin for a last two days. I have been read that it is common side effect due taking finasteride and it takes away for couple of days. Also I have a temperature 100F (38Celsius). My sperm i coloured brown and I am very worried! What I need to do? Am i need to take some antibiotic? Please help me! We are a support group for folks with Pca, sharing our experiences, and knowlefge gained during the journey. With that said, the dose of proscar 5mg, used for bph and to suppress certain forms of testosterne is many times greater than the dose used in treating hair loss. I have been on proscar for many years, iniatially for treating bph, then as an adjunct in the treatment of Pca. The symptoms you are describing does not sound like it is related to the small dose of proscar you are taking. My advise is to see a Urologist immediately for a diagnosis. This is the opinion of a non--physician, and is probably worth the fee i am charging you. > ... My > advise is to see a Urologist immediately for a diagnosis.

Pain in the testicles could be something serious, like testicular cancer - which is extremely dangerous and which can strike young men. Good luck. Alan >> ...

Well of course now I don't have semen any longer so I can't talk about that but I don't have testicular pain any longer after my RLRP. Besides feeling the testicles, is there a test for testicular cancer? The OP certainly needs to get to a Uro....

I don't know. However I remember reading Lance Armstrong's book, _It's Not About the Bike_, that he experienced severe pain in his groin and testicles and, being a macho guy, tried to ignore it until it got so bad he couldn't stand it. > The OP certainly needs to get to a Uro.... I think so too. Unfortunately, I suspect a majority of people around the world have very limited access to medical care. There are also a lot of people who are especially reluctant to speak to a doctor about about problems with their "private parts". They don't want to talk about it and they don't want to be poked and prodded. Lots of people are skittish about doctors in general, but having their testicles examined is something that they feel is beyond enduring. It's a tough public health problem. I have no doubt that there are many men with prostate cancer, even in the U.S. and Europe, who just don't want to have their prostates examined and would rather take their chances.

My son found a lump between his testicles that seemed to him more or less attached to one of them. He was newly married at the time, so I don't know why in hell he was playing with his testicles, but I am glad he was. They yanked one and he's clean and has since sired two wonderful grandsons. >>> Besides feeling the testicles, is there a test for testicular cancer? >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >why in hell he was playing with his testicles, but I am glad he was.

Bravo for your son, he played pocket pool and won :) SignaturePSA @ 45 yrs. = 4.7 02/06/2007 Biopsy 03/16/2007 G7(3+4),T1c RLRP 06/12/2007 G7(3+4),T2cN0M0 Neg margins PSA 07/16/2007 = <0.1 PSA 09/12/2007 = <0.1 PSA 12/18/2007 = <0.1 >> Besides feeling the testicles, is there a test for testicular cancer? > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Alan My brother's one of them. No shame here though, I've been poked prodded and who knows what else, but I'm alive and not regretting a moment of it.
