loss?

  multiply causing it to swell and squeeze into the

  urinating, frequent urge to urinate,
  discontinuous stream of urine, acute urinary
  retention, etc.

  shrinkage of hair follicles on the top of the
  head due to DHT hormone. The result is hair
  thinning, brittle hair, hindered growth of new
