Hello, your servant I used finasteride 1 mg for hair loss for a year. At the end of the use, I had severe testicle pain. I stopped the medication but still have microcalcification testicular pain, and also high lh level (which indicates testicular dysfunction). Before finasteride, I had a very high libido, but now it is very low. How do you think I can solve my problem? My lh level is: 11/37 testosterone: 3/19 and does my testicle damaged? My sonography is healthy just I have microlithiasis does microlithiasis cause pain?

Severe testicle pain and testicular dysfunction can have various causes, and it's possible that the use of finasteride may have contributed to your symptoms. Finasteride is a medication used for benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) and male pattern baldness, but it can have side effects including sexual dysfunction. Microcalcifications in the testicles, also known as microlithiasis, are generally considered benign and often do not cause pain or require treatment. However, it's essential to have a healthcare professional evaluate your specific case to rule out any other potential causes of your pain. Elevated luteinizing hormone (lh) levels can indicate testicular dysfunction, but further testing and evaluation are necessary to determine the underlying cause. A comprehensive assessment of your hormone levels, including testosterone, lh, and other relevant tests, can provide more insight into the nature of your condition.
