I've been reading that Finasteride cause hypotension (low blood pressure) has anyone experienced this??  This for me, would be a huge benefit, considering that I have semi-high blood pressure (138/80) ... Could I possibly benefit from this? kill 2 birds with one stone? 

Hi, i've been on finasteride for about 13 years and have not experienced low blood pressure, furthermore i also have hypotension and on meds and had no problems with interference with my blood pressure meds i hope that helps.

But do seek your GP advice.

Healed perfectly no problems what so ever and kept on my meds as usual.  The only thing the doctor wanted to see was my last hba1c test results  but I dont think I would of been rejected just monitored more often, All went fine.

I have performed surgery on many patients with controlled (no insulin) type-II diabetes and hypertension. I typically like to speak with the patient's physician before officially scheduling the procedure, ensure they are taking all medications as instructed, I use a little less of any medication which can raise blood pressures (and monitor pressure throughout the day), and really pay attention to how the skin is responding to the density at which we are transplanting; by doing all this, it always seems to work well. I do not believe this would preclude you from FUT or FUE surgery. As Dr. Charles said, have the doctor evaluate to determine that you are a good candidate for FUE in general. 

Best of luck. 

Thanks doc that's very encouraging.

Hi 555future,

I had fue last year as a type 2 diabetic and had no issues during or after, no blood pressure problems though hope this helps. 

Hi MarshallUK,

Thanks for responding, may i ask how was your healing process after the surgery? And also was you advised to stop taking your medication for diabetes before the surgery?

Thanks.

Of course any good doctor would need to consider your medical history before considering performing a hair transplant procedure on you. However,  whether or not you are a candidate for FUE would have to be determined by the doctor examining your donor area. 

Thanks charles for your  response. 

However, Let's say for argument sake that my donor area was good, would any doctors perform FUE surgery with my health issues?

Thanks.

Hi everybody,

Straight to the point,  I am 50 year old man with health issues.  I suffering from type 2 diabetes which is very well controlled with meds, I also have blood pressure and again its well controlled with meds, i also take medication for acid reflux.

Now as for my hairloss, i having been losing my hair since the age of 23  almost for 27 years, about 14 years ago I Joined a hair loss clinic i won't mention the name. They prescribe propecia along with 12% Minoxidil  it has really slowed my hair loss, at the age of 50 i still have full head of hair. 

But over the last couple years my hairline has deteriorated along with my crown region, it's not bold but it has thinned quite bit. 

So, my question is; with these health issue  that i have, would any surgeon consider me as a candidate for fue, and which surgeon should i seek advice from? 

Thanks

Hi everybody

I am new on this forum, and this my first post. Why I joined this forum is because there seems to be very honest and genuine people here who really want help other people hair loss issue which is why I joined,so I could seek advice and some help form people on this forum

.

will give a brief description of my problem with my hair loss, at the age of 23 I noticed that around my crown my hair was getting thin, which really didn’t bother me then when I reached the age of 32 my hairline also started to recede, it wasn’t dramatic receding but it was happing in a slow process, then when I reached the age of 37 my loss was becoming quite apparent so I decided to something about this , so I done some research it was concluded that I had typical male pattern boldness

which is obviously very common, then I became a client of belgrevia centre in London they suggested that I should a laser comb in conjunction with propciea and minoxidall, and honestly it slow the process down for about 3 years then in the last 18moths my hair loss began again my crown and temple are receding quite a bit now , I spoken with belgrevia centre and they said its quite normal for this to happen, and to be honest I dont believe then. So decide to have HT after a lot of consideration, and method that I chose is FUE, The reason I chose this method is that my hair is very short around my doner area. Now, what I like to ask how do I go about finding best surgeon in this method in the uk your help will be much appreciated thank
