Any help would be very much appriecated..
I take Avodart (Dutasteride) 0.5 mg tabs twice a week for the past 6 months. I lowered the dose when I developed gynecomastia (breast tissue). Avodart has a long half life. Will it still work to help my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? I have been taking Avodart for 5 years and it has been very helpful.
I am suffering from BPH for the last 4 years and I am taking DUTASTERIDE (AVODART) and Alfuzosin .
Unfortunately , these meds do not help much since few months ago.
I also about a new procedure named: gat-goren (GG), that sounds as non-pervasive.
Did anyone hear about the GG procedure and can share experience or knowledge about that ?
If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.
Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones.
Hi. I am 18 years old, and have been having issues with hair loss. It all began about 2 years ago when I initially switched up my diet and lost weight quite rapidly. I lost my period for about 6 months and my hair shed. I had blood work done then, and no irregularities were present. My hair loss eventually subsidized (although my hair never fully grew back), and my period returned. However, in June I missed my period, and my hair loss returned.
If your father has been prescribed a medication called dutasteride for treatment of the BPH, it is possible that the diclofenac was interacting with it and leading to his problems with urination.
However, it is possible that the difficulty in urination could be due to the BPH itself and not related to the possible drug interaction. If the problem is due to an enlarged prostate, it would be better to have him undergo some procedures such as PVP (photoselective vaporization) to treat the BPH.
5 mcg calcitriol, some NSAIDs, and some vitamin E daily. I also took dutasteride for a total of 17 months. (On-and-off dutasteride convinced me that I could never endure serious ADT. Thus my "watchful waiting" could only be waiting for metastasis and death (or for the recent good news).
I have no god and don't work with radioactive materials or unusual chemicals. Something in my simple faddish regimen apparently helped with my cancer. I hope it can help others.
Stress is a huge reason for hair loss on anyone. My mom experienced hair loss while undergoing treatments. I have experienced hair loss for stress, medications for migraines (seizure meds for prevention will do it every time). Also my doctor put me on a great prenatal vitamin that helped with my hair loss and I started to have new growth. Soak with your doctor and see what he recommends. Could be a simple imbalance due to stress in itself or the cancer side effects.
Hello,
Stress can be one of the causes for hair loss. Other than that alopecia aereta should be ruled out. The causes for excessive hair fall may be physiological or pathological and include hormonal changes, fungal infection, physical effects (traction, heat, chemicals), psychological & stress-related reasons, thyroid disorders, iron deficiency anemia, excessive intake of Vitamin A, hereditary reasons etc.
But then multivitamins contain very little iron.Iron is in two areas one in blood other is stored.
I was under stress the last month with a sports injury and on anti inflammatory tabs for nearly 3 weeks so dont know if thats the cause, but had hair fall and hair thinning 3 months, thats fast for having a ponytail to be seeing my scalp now isnt it? Im a 31 yr old male, sorry for the ignorance but didnt know men could have thyroid levels changes, how do I find out? My general health is good.
I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist for this as it is important to rule out all the causes of hair loss and reach a confirmatoty diagnosis.Treatment is specific for that diagnosis.Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
Ongoing hair loss is most often associated with still being hypothyroid, although some people have problems with specific meds. What was the original reason for going on meds and how much are you taking? Free T3 is the most important test, followed by free T4. Free (unbound) T3 is the thyroid hormone that correlates best with hypo symptoms. Suggest that you make sure they continue to test for the "Frees". Are you also experiencing other symptoms?
I am hoping someone will have some answers for me. I am not sure what I should do about this thyroid hair loss I am having. I read that adding t3 helps with hair loss? I know you can not believe everything you read. Right? I did get my new tests back from the doctor today and now I am considered hyperthyroid instead of hypothyroid. I just can not seem to get the right dosage needed to fix me. Help.
Before I started Tx, I looked online for hats, scarves, caps that were specifically made for chemotherapy hair loss. As it turns out, there was a store near me and I went there to see what they had. I picked one out and got the data on it. I did not buy it because I did not want a hair covering if I did not need one. But I felt very relieved that I could call them and get the head covering in less than a week if I needed it.
