Hair loss is not a reported side-effect of either medicine.
See the below links for side-effect profiles.

Im glad I found your question! I always shave my genital area during the summer months to avoid persperation. I last shaved just after using Flomax for the first time. My genital hair is growing very slowly almost not growing in that area. I still have to shave my face and get a hair cut as usual. Kind of strange actually.
Thanks for posting, I feel better that I am not alone, you have helped me a lot and Ill stop worrying about it. Good luck.
