For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I suffer from androgenic alopecia when I started to take dutasteride for 10 months. During this period, I was shedding. In only 10 months, my hair became thinner and not as fine as it was. Why did dutasteride make my hair so bad?"

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I am 61 and have been taking DUODART for 3 months to cure my BPH. Before DUODART, I had nocturia, urinating 6 times a night but with little urine coming out. Hard to start my pee and very weak urine flow. After taking DUODART, I do not have nocturia anymore, and the urine flow has definitely increased. Will continue taking it for 3 more months and then will check if my PSA level has decreased to normal levels."

Dutasteride for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I have been taking Avodart for about a year now. It has improved my night urinating, but I really do not like the decreased sex drive, ability to achieve a full erection, and decreased semen output."
