Saw Palmetto Nipple Sensitivity- Finasteride Instead?

[Fleming_NO]

Hello fellow receders, i have a question and would like to ask others opinion.
i was taking saw palmetto for only 2 days, ( as a natural dht inhibitor) then i felt my nipples feeling strange, not any pain, but they got erect (like if you are in cold weather) much more often, and sometimes felt a stinging sensation, so i quit this right away, however i have a meeting with my doctor next week to talk about propecia and if i should start on it. I am a skinny guy, 184 cm and 72 kg, and i have never even had any issue with nipple enlargement, (still they look the same) i have had on and off sensitivity in them due to clothes, jogging etc, so maybe this is just in my head. my question however is, do you think it would be worth it to try finasteride? or do you think this would give me gyno?

from all the sides i might get this is the one i am most afraid of, i would be grateful for any advise before my doctor appointment .

oh and the thing with fina is that you know the required dose and might just take 0,5 mg but with saw palmetto this is a guessing game.

It's all in your head. Maybe you just noticed it these times because you're using saw palmetto. But that stuff doesn't do sh*t man. Few guys get real gyno. Some get puffy nipples but it never develops into gyno.

I would go with 1mg of finasteride. Take it consistently and let your body get used to it. Don't be scared if you get some mild sides. They can go away, your body needs to adapt to the drug.

Yeah, thanks man, i stopped the saw palmetto bs and im going to start fina next week after speaking to my Doctor.
is there anything to take or do to minimize the chances of gyno tho? or just take it and pray?

I don't take anything, no. Arimidex is an option that could also have some sides. A small percentage gets sides and the ones that do are mostly on a forum like this.
