Are balding men more likely to have prostate cancer?

I'm a little short on hair.

12/06/07 DaVinci and open prostate surgery after difficulties in breathing stopped the davinci.
Walked a lot
90% control the day the catherter removed.
pad only for a sneeze before the week was out
No pads most of the second week.

This will be interesting....still have some so I miss out on the bowling ball classification but it sure is sparse on top.

WD,
I have a full head of curly {brown but greying fast} head of hair. At least I did untill I started on Testosterone replacement! I don't know if its a quoincidance but it started receiding and thinning on top shortly after I started "T." I couldn't care less but to answer your question, I had plenty when I was diognosed w/ PC!!
Your greying balding friend,
Pete

dht has been mentioned as one of the main reasons for BPH and hair loss. Proscar cuts down on the bph and possibly the hair loss, but has sise effects. My urologist recommended to take saw palmetto,---saying just as good as proscar---but does not have side effects
