What Causes Severe Hair Loss Post A Green Light Laser Surgery For BPH?
My dad (81) recently (3 moths ago) had green light laser surgery for BPH and has not been recovering as well as expected. After 3 weeks recovery time his doctor removed finasteride and flowmax. A short time later most of his hair started falling out on his head, eyebrows, and he hasn t shaved in 2 months now and is smooth as baby s bottom. His other body hair remains. His urologist states it s unrelated to surgery or coming off the 2 medications. He takes no other medications except synthroid for about 5 years.

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, hair loss is pertaining to the hormone changes at testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels surely.
Kindly consult an expert endocrinologist as this is not a matter pertaining to a urologist for the further cure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
