proscar and hair growth

Finasteride goes by the brand name Propecia (for MPB) and Proscar (for BPH) and is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor used to treat male pattern baldness (MPB) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) [enlargement of the prostate]. The medication works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts testosterone to its bioactive metabolite dihydrotestosterone thus decreasing its levels in the body.

Hair grows in cycles and some times we have more hair loss than others. Stress will certainly cause more hair loss. And opiate withdrawals causes stress. When you take opiates for a long time like you have, your body's physiology has been altered. Your central nervous system has created a multitude of opioid receptors that all are screaming for endorphins (opiates) to fill them, but your body has now forgotten how to make them by itself.

s due to using findriside for hair loss. My hair is fine but not worth it now. I only just noticed it four days ago and have immediately stoped taking the medication. Would you say I have done permanent damage or when the findristride is totaly out if my system will it all go back to normal. I have an okay sex life and I am 32.

If you experience side effects or if you plan to discontinue it, it is best that you discuss this with your doctor, who knows your medical history and the management plan of your condition. Side effects of proscar include trouble getting or keeping an erection, decrease in sex drive, decreased volume of ejaculate, and ejaculation disorders. Take care and do keep us posted.

he tried avodart for 1 year but not worked good for him thats why he stop and try another drug name proscar...

t noticed any facial hair growth, although I think my hair is thinning out. When I take a shower and put cream rinse in and work it thru, I have lots of hair coming out.

s because of your prenatal vitamins. They help hair and nail growth. And the idea about it being a boy because you have a lot of extra hair, could be true. Before I got pregnant I just had peach fuzz on my tummy and now it looks darker and longer, and I'm having a boy. But yet again, I shave my arm pits and legs a lot more than usual. Also your pubic hair will probably begin to grow so much you can't keep up with it.

My hair on my body grow fast after wax and thinner and cannot be removed But my head hair shorten and break down But I know it will be good after labour

I'm 33 weeks and was wondering how are you ladies getting rid of the hair that's growing on your private area sorry if tmi???

I take my vitamins everyday and my hair doesn't grow its dry and awhful actually. And I don't even colour my hair. It's been over a year since I've coloured it. I too am bummed about this because I was looking forward to my hair finally growing. I chopped it all off a while ago.

I lost a probably about 45% but luckily it thinned all over. the only part I had to hide was a receding hair line in the front (Like my dad has) So I didn't put my hair up and just combed long hair over for a while. I have been done with treatment for a couple months now..and my hair, (while still thinned out) is a completely different texture then it was on treatment. I noticed within a few weeks after tx the shine was back and it did not look so dead anymore.

Does Arimidex effect hair growth? I finished chemotherapy on August 24 and my hair has not quite grown in yet.

With my first and second pregnancy my hair grew long and thick on my head. This pregnancy my hair is comings out everytime I wash it. The plug is full of my hair. Luckily for now you wouldn't notice because I have so much. It does appear to be growing faster tho.

It is true, for most women I think. In my first pregnancy my hair grew fast and got thicker. But this time my hair is so thin and even my eyebrows and eyelashes are sparse.

Has anyone else had hair growth on their belly? Ever since I got pregnant my belly is super duper hairy, like grossly hairy. And thick too. I don't want to shave or wax cause I don't want it to come back even thicker but I'm starting to get self conscience cause its really gross! Will it go away?

I am in my 50's, and this past year I have started to grow hair where it should NOT be, facial like a man and my stomach, is there any help for this problem? And what makes this happen ?

Yes! I just chopped off my long hair, and it's already starting to grow a lot. Plus, I find myself needing to shave my legs/underarms more... Often I'm too lazy to do it, though.

My arm hair and leg hair seems to grow back super fast it's annoying. Anyone feel me on this ?

Ok so this might be tmi, but I have hair growing like crazy on my belly. And it is starting to gross me out. I want to get rid of it, but i dont no what's safe to use. Do u think NAIR hair removal l, which is a cream, would be ok to use on my belly. Or do u have any other suggestions?

It all depends on the person.

I was very anxious for my hair to grow as well but even with eating healthier and taking my prenatal pills daily my hair has not grown at all. I feel my hair actually got so dry :/ but everyone can be different.

Is this normal? If not, what usually causes that? Ty in advance.
