Thanks for query .
You have been taking Fenasteride and mintop for loss of hair since 1.5 years and have noticed testicular pain and reduction in semen volume .
Both these drugs are known to have side effects of Testicular atrophy and affect spermatogenesis and in may lead to infertility .
Please discontinue these drugs immediately and repeat your semen analysis and blood test for Testosteron levels after two months to confirm the regaining of testicular function .
