Asked By:lol12345678910 in Leedey, OK

First of all I want to say a thanks to everyone who responds to Q's! I am looking at taking fin. I'm 23 years old and want to have a family eventually. I'm scared that even when I stop the drug the horror story sides of becoming sterile will be present. (I won't know until that time comes)!!!? I'm wondering if the sides go once you stop and what are the real concerns from a doctors view point. (My dads a surgeon but not hair and said it would be ok)

Answer: Trying to receive medical advice on the Internet (even from doctors on the Internet) may cause more confusion.
