Clinics commonly advise avoiding strenuous activity, smoking, alcohol, direct sun and touching the grafts while the scalp heals.

- When can I return to work after a hair transplant? Most patients can return to work within 2 to 7 days after a hair transplant.
- Will I notice changes in my body if I start taking dutasteride? Dutasteride lowers DHT, so labels and trials describe prostate shrinkage over 3-6 months and, off-label, slowed hair loss; the same sources list sexual side effects and an observational link to depression.
- Dutasteride side effects: what the label and studies actually report The Avodart label reports impotence in 4.7% and decreased libido in 3.0% of men in the first six months (1.7% and 1.4% on placebo), with new reports falling after month six; those figures come from BPH trials in older men, and the hair-loss trials in younger men run only six months. The label and studies also flag a PSA drop of about half, a small rise in high-grade prostate cancer in one trial, an observational link to depression, and sexual effects that the label says may persist after stopping.
