Boobs?: Proscar (finasteride) is a drug in a group called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. This can cause gynecomastia (breasts in a male). Talk to your doctor about ruling out other causes and other treatment for the enlarged prostate. Depending on the degree of enlargement the treatment after removing the cause would be surgical if it is bothering you. Good luck
