Does Propecia Shrink the Prostate?
does propecia shrink the prostate?
ive been hearing about pain below the belly with many Finasteride users, and found these articles interesting.
- Urological Sciences Research Foundation – Long-Term Effects of Finasteride on Prostate Tissue Composition (PDF file)
- Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism – Evidence for Atrophy and Apoptosis in the Prostates of Men Given Finasteride (PDF file)
thanks for the informative website! curious to hear your thoughts on this
Propecia is a brand name for a generic drug called finasteride in 1mg strength. Proscar is a brand name for the same drug called finasteride, but in 5mg strength.
Proscar is used for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) — so yes, it shrinks the prostate. Thus, you can infer that even at 1mg strength it will have a small effect on the prostate. Recently one of my patients who had symptoms of BPH told me that his prostate problems went away after being on Propecia for a year.
The articles you posted are interesting — they are just two of the many articles that show finasteride shrinks the prostate for men with BPH.
