What Causes Swelling In The Groin Area While On Finasteride?
I was recently prescribed Finasteride for BPH and have noticed a swelling in a lymph node in my groin...the same ting happened over a year ago and i was advised to discontinue the Finasteride...the swelling did go away...are they related? I also catheterize 10+ times a day as a consequence of prostrate cancer treated with radiation and seeds eight years ago...have been using catheters for about 20 months...
