Hair Loss and an Enlarged Prostate

Sir: I am 60 years old with enlarged prostate. I am taking the following: 5mg proscar, 5mg avodart, 4 gel caps saw palmetto, 81 mg aspirin, also terezin for blood pressure. My urine flow is back to normal, however I have not noticed much hair growth in 3 months on these drugs. I have typical male pattern.What do you recommend?

Many men with hair loss, when starting the types of medications you have, will grow hair as a side effect of these medications. The converse of your presentation is also common. In patients we start on Propecia, they get improvement on their prostate problems and their urinary retention improves with the hair treatment. In your case, if the medications failed to grow hair, then only hair transplantation may solve your problem.
