A member asked:
I have had gynecomastia for over a year. it was attributed to finesteride which i stopped 6 months ago. tenderness persists on 1side. is this unusual ?

Sometimes: Effect of Finasteride could be long lasting or even permanent. If you have a palpable residual mass, show it to your doctor because it could be, in rare cases, a tumor.
