The consensus of the hair loss community on side effects of finasteride is usually because less dht --> more test --> more estrogen = side effects. I've been struggling with breast tenderness, nipple pain, itch, and swelling on any dose of finasteride for a couple of months now and I was about to stop the drug completely last month. I tried everything to lower my estrogen, I'm sub 10% body fat and lift daily and it did not help. I also tried DIM by itself and it did not seem to help.
I stumbled across a couple of posts on Reddit about people complaining about elevated levels of prolactin while on finasteride elevated prolactin can cause gyno, especially the swelling of the nipple, it also can cause low libido and ED which some people experience on finasteride. My libido took a small hit on fin but no ED. I decided to give the supplement P5P 100mg a try which is an activated form of b6 that is extremely effective at lowering prolactin. A little over a week of taking the supplement I had no more swelling, itching, or pain in my nipples. I got off after a month and about a month later it came back due to excessive sex/jerkin which raises prolactin an insane amount. Ran the same stack again and a week later it went away again.
I believe solely that the p5p 100mg helped me the most but this is the stack I used.
100mg P5P
400iu Vitamin e once weekly (kinda dangerous to take to much) ( lowers prolactin)
100mg DIM (Supossobly lowers estrogen)
15mg zinc ( Helps reduce aromataziation)
Cardio
Also do not jerk off or have sex to much if you are having problems. I wouldn't do anything until it goes away completely then maybe you can up the frequency. It simply raises prolactin way to much.
Good luck, Hopes this helps someone in need because there is absolutely no answers for this problem anywhere other than hopping of fin.
