Does the med Proscar when used to treat Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy....?

only relieve symtoms, or is it a cure?


Answers:    Proscar, by Merck, blocks the conversion of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is the latter to be exact taken into the nucleus of the cell and works it effects. If the DHT is not produced, those cells requiring DHT to grow, resembling those of the prostate, do not grow.
Other cells, resembling those in hackle follicle, do not die.
It is not a cure but slows the process of BPH and aleviates the symptoms.
Propecia is a lower dose of Proscar. Avodart works the same path.
