Proscar shedding

Common Questions and Answers about Proscar shedding

proscar

Avatar n tn Propose that your partner try Avodart. I think it really helps with prostate enlargement. That is what the television commercials say anyhow. Unfortunately it also can cause a large reduction in semen production. AND women wanting to become pregnant should NEVER touch the pill as it can cause birth defects if they are exposed at all to it. You can Google Avodart read all of this yourself from a variety of sites, including Avodart's manufacturer.
Avatar m tn I had quite severe BHP and taking proscar and cardura. Had always difficulty urinating. I tried saw palmetto and it made me unable to urinate at all. I had to go to hospital.
Avatar n tn observation if another biopsy done in 04/09 shows increase in positive cores to 3 or more or if any one core shows 50%+ positive for cancer? Also, is there any current opinion regarding use of Avodart or Proscar while in Watchful Waiting mode? I understand there would be a likely reduction in PSA, but that new PSA baseline be established and return to monitoring of PSA velocity. Not sure what, if any, benefit this would provide.

250398 tn?1225263291 Currently on Cardura and Proscar. Suggestions?
Avatar f tn About 6 years ago I had a small lump on my genital area. Since then it's come only a few times. And only in that spot. Generally goes away quick. My dr said it was herpes. No blood work was done but she gave me a script for it. I have filled the script a few times since if I get an odd sensation in that area. And them no lump occurs. I have been with a few partners since, letting them know my story. I've never given this to anybody. But I worry about doing so.
Avatar f tn m about to have an outbreak I feel a warm sensation on my mons pubis in the area that the blisters will usually appear. Can you tell me if the shedding only occurs from this area (where the blisters will be) or also from the vagina as well. Thank you.
564434 tn?1219978153 Hi, i have genital herpes that was diagnosed when i had an outbreak last month for the very first time. Im still not getting the shedding thing. Will i know if thats going on? i feel kinda dumb asking that seeing that im a medical assistnant and everything but ive been doing orthopedics and trauma for years so im not up on my STD info. Another thing is that i got really sick (fever, body aches, flu feeling) along with the outbreak, will that happen everytime?
Avatar n tn There isn't a dog food that I know of that will stop shedding. Shedding is the release of dead hair. Brushing on a regular basis will help, having a groom done will help, or you could have your dog shaved. ??? Some people prefer it, some dont. Thought I'd throw it out there.
Avatar m tn Some dogs shed more than others. Right now I am living in a haze of dog-hair myself!! Pity me! My dog, bless her, sheds twice a year. This is natural for her, and not a sign of illness. Regular grooming will help, but it's a bit of a thankless task. You get a good handful of hair on the comb, and think that's it. Then 15 minutes later there is another handful! I just got myself a good vacuum cleaner, and have to do that chore a little more regularly than I would prefer!
Avatar n tn My outbreaks have been few for the last 10 years, mostly when I do not take if for a period of time.. Is there another dossage which would minimize shedding and the possibility of infecting my partner? If taking a higher dossage will minimize shedding, how is this medically verified?
436837 tn?1293793226 I can vacuum several times a day and brush him(with a gentle brush because he is short coated)no he is not loosing hair but her loves to rub his back on bushes when we go for a walk..does he need some kind of lotion?Is the back rubbing due to shedding or just feels good ?
Avatar f tn s for benign prostate enlargement, and the results were rather mixed. Then Proscar came along and pretty much ended that debate. Saw Palmetto has faded into the background - it's possible you affected your DHT levels, but it will definitely only be temporary. I quit Proscar for that reason, best not to fool around with sex hormone levels, in my opinion.
Avatar m tn While taking Flomax or Proscar, does this have an effect on getting HARD.
250398 tn?1225263291 55 year old male. I have BPH and take Proscar and Cardura XL. Having some lower abdominal soreness and have noted cloudy urine and now a whitish discharge from my penis. Began Bactrim and Cipro yesterday, along with Ibuprofen. I am working out of the country, so tracking down a Urologist or even a general practice doctor that speaks good enough English for me to understand, and for them to understand me, is a challenge. So, am I on a good track? Prostatitis? Bladder/Kideney infection?
Avatar n tn If his bladder contracts, and/or there is an obstruction, and pills are ineffective, then he may certainly need the TURP or a similar procedure to relieve the obstruction. The alternative is continued intermittent catheterization, while adding a second drug Proscar to try to shrink the prostate and get him voiding. This is not the best alternatives because studies show that prostates respond best to there drugs like proscar if they are 40 grams or larger and it takes 6-12 months to work .
Avatar n tn 5 days later he had prostrate problems and ended up leaving the hospital with a catheter. He ended up with an infection and after taking proscar and flowmax for 5 months (and using the single use catheter) he went in for an opening of the urethra. He since has had recurrent bladder infections, terrible gas and bloating. He is still on nitrofurantion (2 pills a day for 5 days) one pill a day for 30. He has no relief. He is up every night with terrible pains.
Avatar m tn BTW, I noticed one of the treatments for this condition is beta blockers, which I am already taking daily (for PVC), along with alpha blockers and Proscar for BPH. Thanks again for your input.
