HI i just joined. I quit Propecia a month ago and all of a sudden my Penis, Balls, and near my anus started becoming painfull then numb. My doc said its and infection of the prostate. I also have the peeing sensation. Can someone please help me? What I wan to know is am I really having a prostate infection or missing something else fin is causing. My penis just started getting numb and burning. I need to know if I need to direct the doctor in another direction. Pllllllllllease help me. I survived open heart at 28 to come back and be destroyed by this shit!

I'm no expert on this, so take my advice as a grain of salt.
Definitely try to steer clear of dutasteride, if that is what your doctor first recommends.
I think a lot of guys on this message board have had luck using the antibiotic cipro for prostate inflammation caused by fin.
Also, has your doctor performed a digital rectal exam to check for enlarged prostate or done a urinalysis to confirm an infection.

Hope all your problems clear up soon.

Any doctor who would even consider dutasteride after someone coming in complaining of finasteride should lose their licence. You literally couldn't do worse.

I highly doubt any doctor would be that stupid, though.

I was given bactrim and so far no results. No rectal tests yet. He told me he doesn't think it has to do with propecia . Hard to convince sonebody if they look at the research . I was perfectly fine until I quit the fin. Then this happens??
