Common Questions and Answers about Flomax time to work

flomax

Avatar n tn I went to ER 10 days ago with what I thought must be my appendix exploding! 10+ pain in right lower flank area. They managed the immediate pain w/ IV which worked very quickly. After a CT scan they determined I have a 3mm stone making it's way from my right kidney to my bladder. They sent me home with a script for Norco and Flomax and told me to get a follow up appt. with my Dr., drink plenty of fluids, and strain my urine. It was a week before my Dr.
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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 light headness after cataract surgery and Dr was told about Flomax of which I am still on 2 years later
Avatar m tn The good news is the skin will grow back but might take a month or so to complete. Till then try not to push to hard when urinating, and goes easy on the sex if you catch my drift! I hope this help ally your fears. Take care.
Avatar m tn s - as for the retrograde ejaculation which is scary and weird, it does not happen if you have sex right before its time to take a dose. For example I was taking Flomax after lunch mid day, and if I had sex that evening the retrograde issue would happen, but if I waited to have sex until the next morning or afternoon before taking another dose it does not happen and ejaculate exits out the way it is supposed to...
Avatar n tn there might be side effects due to what your taking and of course getting back to normal ejaculation will indeed take time if you dont push yourself to control it.
Avatar m tn No do not change your medicines if Flomax works. Even if you stopped or switched to another type you could still have floppy iris syndrome. If it works keep on it and tell your eye surgeon. Special techniques and instruments and drops make FIS not the problem it use to be when we first saw it.
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 m tn While taking Flomax or Proscar, does this have an effect on getting HARD.
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 m tn At first, after my surgery, my orgasms were not as pleasurable as they used to be, but that improved over time as I continued to heal. My erections improved and I reached a point where it felt like everything was working as it should and if I closed my eyes, it felt like I was cumming normally like I used to back before my prostate problems started.
Avatar f tn m having the same problem that your friend is having. I am unable to feel when I have to urinate, which is cause me to hold urine. I just had an indwelling cath placed today. I'm supposed to have it till next Tuesday. They are hoping I get my feeling back in that time and my bladder returns to it's normal size.
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..
Avatar m tn what is happening is that the semen is being released into your bladder. The flomax is designed to relax the urinary sphincter muscle so the semen, when you ejaculate, takes the path of least resistance- which is into your bladder... it's a weird concept but that is what is happening.
1516809 tn?1345082764 I went to a urologist who told me that my prostate because of my age is starting to enlarge like all men, and that I am retaining urine in my bladder per ultrasound. He prescribed Flomax for me to take indefinitely, and told me that the hematospermia will heal on its own and clear after a few more subsequent ejaculations. Recently, I experienced hematospermia again, red blood in the semen again.
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 t know that Flomax did this and we would just have some cases where the iris was unexpectedly very floppy and coming out the incisions. We have Dr. Chang to thank for discovering the Flomax link to floppy iris syndrome.
Avatar n tn I am on tamsulosin because of urine retention. Unfortunately it has started working in the wrong direction. Now when I have to urinate I need to go right away or I leak. This happened several years ago when I was on Flomax so I quit and I’m going to quit again.
Avatar m tn Can flomax have impact on your sleeping behavior.
Avatar m tn Will the surgeon be able to compensate for the flomax damage already done. Will it be a better alternative not to have the cataracts done to prevent complications. However I do need the surgery, but I am weighing one thing against the other before I decide.
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
