    Default Fin and MPB vs Prostate

    Just a thought...

    I have developed problems in the last few years dealing with symptoms similar to an enlarged prostate, but since I'm only 21 it's always just been shrugged off by doctors really.

    Recently my hair loss has sort of flipped the switch into aggressive thinning at the hairline/temples so I've started taking fin and applying minox.

    My question is, if I do actually have urinary problems that would be treated with fin in the form of proscar or a higher dosage, does this potentially effect the effectiveness of fin for MPB? Or would this just halt MPB and not effect the urinary problems due to the lower dosage? Would this potentially lessen potential side effects?

    Again, this is all speculation and just a thought... If anyone has any experience with this it would be appreciated!

    This is a interesting question. It is possible that it may help you with both situations.
