Hi all,
First time poster.
Summer 2020 I used topical Finasteride for three months and got very bad sides.
One was penile and testicle shrinkage.
I took a high dose of Vitamin D after stopping Fin and the issue resolved.
Fast forward a few months and I was taking 30mg of extra virgin oil daily for five days for joint issues and those symptoms came back, again took Vitamin D and Zinc and issued resolved and also Boron and situation actually improved more than before.
A few weeks ago I took a DIM supplement, hoping to resolve another issue I got from fin, puffiness and gyno on one side of my chest.
Within days my penal shrinkage came back but this time Vitamin D and Zinc are not resolving it, it is as if my body is reacting in a different way to Vit D, Boron and Zinc.
I think this might centre around DHT, as Fin, Extra Virgin Olive oil and DIM can inhibit DHT
I am wondering could DIM have knocked off an androgen receptor?
Is there any blood tests that I should get done?
Could something like Tribulus help?
Or do I just have to weight it out and hope over time it will resolve?
I would very much appreciate any guidance from experienced posters on here, I feel helpless.
One other thing I have developed some light ball ache too
