You trusted your doctor for your surgery. Your doctor gave you the medication. Now you are having possible side effects. You need to call your doctor, email your doctor, or see your doctor. If you are having side effects, your doctor should know about it. Your doctor can give you recommendations on what to do. Propecia can give you sexual side effects.Other medications (such as the pain medications or sleep medications you are likely taking after surgery) can give you sexual side effects.
This is something you must discuss with your doctor. Propecia brings protection against shock loss after a hair transplant, but at what cost to your sex life. I often suggest that the patient reduce the medication, but you need to talk to the doctor about his assessment of your risk for shock hair loss.
If you are experiencing side effects from propecia, you need to stop using it. You may want to start using minoxidil. Talk to your doctor to see what your options are.

Hair transplant may work but if you keep your hair short, it will not make a big difference.The cost of the surgery will depend on the doctor as there will likely be a minimum fee for surgery.
If you notice a reaction after applying Bacitracin, it may be an allergic reaction. You need to call your doctor as soon as possible. It may also be a sign of infection.
