flomax

Avatar m tn Again, blood and urine, now about 5 weeks after, again all negative. Was put on Cipro for ten days, along with Flomax. After 10 days, still have same symptom of needing to urinate. Sent to Urologist. After his exam, he got fluid to excrete from my penis with anal exam, culture showed resistance to Cipro. He gave me Bactrim, which I have been on since July 6th. This is the 17th, and the symptom still has not gone away.
Avatar m tn Hi, Thanks for writing in. Prostatitis is usually not a side effect of use of flomax, indeed it can happen due to BPH, for which flomax is used as treatment. It would be better to get prostrate examination done by a urologist and take opinion for surgery for resolving these symptoms. Choice of antibiotics depends upon the kind of organism affecting the prostrate. Best.
Avatar m tn While taking Flomax or Proscar, does this have an effect on getting HARD.
Avatar m tn i am having tachycardia, chestpain after using flomax - only second pill how long can take the side effects considering that i stopped taking flowmax 36 hours
Avatar n tn Yes, prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland. It seems to be getting easier to urinate, and I've noticed that flomax is sometimes proscribed for prostate issues, so perhaps doubling my dosage on that was a good idea.
Avatar n tn I'm a male, 26 years old. For the past two weeks it's been a nightmare. All day long it feels like I have to go pee. When I do, I'm relieved for about 5 minutes, then the feeling comes back. You know when you have to pee really bad, and it almost hurts, that's how I've been feeling. I've been to the doctor, they took a urinalysis, and nothing showed up. So the next thing they did, was check my prostate. They said it was enlarged. So the diagnosis was prostatitis.
Avatar m tn I hear ya... I've been on .4 Flomax since January and its hard to get off of it. It basically tells the bladder neck muscles = "ok we are going to do your job now, take a break"... so to speak.. but when you stop it seems neither the muscles or the drug obviously are doing the job and they tighten back up and I get he urine retention again... Its very frustrating because I was doing exceptionally well before trying to stop.
Avatar f tn I am getting tired already tho and having back/ hip pain so hoping I can last that long at work. Work as long as I your body will let you.
Avatar f tn In other words, if nodule were benign would the Flomax be likely to work better? Does progressive increase in frequency indicate a higher chance of cancer?
Avatar m tn He said that after a year or so, if the prostate has gone down and reduced the problems, they like to eliminate the Flomax, as it is no longer necessary. Long story short, I now have a prescription for Avodart alone. I realize that it may not reduce the surgery risk, but one less drug is a good thing.
Avatar m tn This will increase the volume of your ejaculate. YES, Flomax seriously reduces the amount of ejaculate (to almost zero, in my case). Skipping one day will cause much more come on the following day (check with DR. first).
Avatar n tn Thank you both for your responses; I am definitely going to work on getting him in to see his doctor. His blood pressure medicine was reduced when first put on the Flomax and he even stopped taking the bp med for a couple of days (his own decision) which I strongly let him know I didn't agree with; but he started taking it again when his bp dropped drastically.
Avatar n tn The only remarkable change has been starting on Flomax, so it would be a strange coincidence to suddenly develop a urinary infection. Can Flomax have anything to do with this? He is inclined to suspend it if only on the basis of no results, but now this new turn of events is worrying him.
Avatar m tn floppy iris syndrome due to flomax (can occur wcwn if it has been discontinued) is not "poo-poo" it's "true-true), documented in many elegant studies, has occured to me in surgery and is accepted the world over.
1580703 tn?1651904887 It just relaxes the smooth muscles of the urethra to aid in smooth flow of the urine. Though flomax may lead to sexual dysfunction and retrograde ejaculation, the effects are unlikely to be permanent. Hope the information is helpful. Take care!
Avatar f tn I am in my third week....Am I too impatient How long can i expect to have vision back?
187666 tn?1331173345 Quick question for anyone who's been through this: how long does it take once a stone passes for the blood in the urine to stop? Long story short: have had obvious blood in urine for just over a year now, tests revealed nothing till a month or two ago. Found a stone lodged in right kidney. Last Tues. night ended up in ER. Seems like stone finally decided to migrate south into the ureter but not out into the bladder yet. Not sure if I'll know when it passes.
Avatar n tn I will be on a alpha blocker (rapaflo, similar to flomax) for several days prior to stent removal. It is supposed to relax the ureter. Will rapaflo prevent the severe pain or just not make it last as long? Not sure what expectations are for this medication.
Avatar m tn I have abstained from that since my surgery, except when an old friend came to visit not long after I had stopped the Ditropan. We messed around some, and I masturbated at the end of our session and did get a little glob of ***, which was encouraging at the time. I now wonder if a guy sucks me while I am ejaculating if that would have any effect on the amount of *** that would shoot out.
Avatar m tn I'm 68 years old and have had Cataracts for over 2 years. I've been taking Avodart for over a year. Should I stop taking Avodart and wait awhile before cataract surgery or will the informed Dr be able to work with my eyes? I've never taken Flomax and have heard the warnings from the commercial and read about Flomax. I'm concerned about any complications. I'm also pretty active. Can I still swim after surgery and what are the chances of the lens shifting or coming loose?
Avatar f tn Thanks for your response. How does Flomax help you? Are you able to fully empty your bladder now?
Avatar n tn I was then sent to urologist who said postatitis, gave me flomax and said to alter diet to avoid acidic drinks/foods. After 6 weeks of flomax and eating a bland diet there was still no improvement. Went to another urologist who said prostatitis, gave me flomax and new antibiotics and prescribed 600mg ibuprofen 3 x day.
Avatar m tn I did not associate it with flomax until recently. Is it harmful if I stop taking the flomax and is this the cause of my retro? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/226027'>Retrograde Ejaculation from Flomax......permanent or not?</a>.
Avatar n tn How long does it usually take to get a response?
Avatar f tn And, if so, has anyone had the same experiences that I previously explained? Finally, does the body seem to adapt to Flomax, and return to semen production (without abdominal pain after orgasm)? I apoogize if my language seems quite blunt, but I'm extremely concerned (especially the abdominal pain after, even though short-lived). I will be presenting the same questions to my neurologist the next time I see him, but that won't be for 6 weeks. I will appreciate any and all responses.
Avatar m tn Flomax can reduce the amouht of seman that you produce. It would be unusual though to have this production reduced down to zero unless the man was ejaculating very often. In general terms Flomax is a useful medication with very few side-effects..
