testicle pain from estradiol?

[greencoloredpencil]

I've been getting some pains in my testicles (both sides) after being on estradiol and finasteride for about a month and a half. I'm not on spironolactone due to side effects, so the only thing that's kind of an anti-androgen is finasteride. But I understand it's effects would be minimal as an anti-androgen.

Is this normal?

I've been on estradiol, spironolactone, and finasteride for several months, and I have not noticed any pain there.  I would consider calling your physician just to be safe.

I agree.  I don't think pain is expected so if it keeps up more than a few days or gets worse you should talk to your Dr.

I get occasional twinges. Neither of my doctors seems concerned. I just assumed it was due to their shrinking but by all means you should consult YOUR doctor.

I had a dull ache for a while, but I attributed that to the fact that I wear tight underwear.

I had aching in my gonads when I started HRT and for about 1 year. I am on E (high dose IM), spiro (low dose), finasteride and progesterone. My gonads shrank considerably and I attribute the aches to the shutting down and shrinkage of the gonads.

If you are worried call your HRT doctor.

I get occasional pains or aches. Usually on the right side.

Orchalgia can have other causes so you might want to see a urologist.  I've had it for about a year left side only and occasionally bad enough to bend me over which is not good if you are sitting on the front pew at church.    My urologist did a nerve block back in December which helped for a couple of months but the pain is back.  I see him again tomorrow for a procedure to make the pain go away forever.
