Flomax urine odor
Common Questions and Answers about Flomax urine odor
flomax
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.
ve slowly started having leakage issues lately where I will have a strong sudden urge to urinate and have a difficult time holding it until I can get to a toilet. Sometimes some urine leaks out and other times the urge will pass and I can wait before racing to the toilet.
Recently, I've had trouble reaching orgasm with my partner and even experienced an inability to hold an erection for the first time. These problems seemed to start when the leakage issue started.
The urge frequency was sometimes unbearable!! Anyhow started on Flomax, and in just one day noticed the frequency (6-8x day to 4x) and urgency diminished.
If no BPH...how is the Flomax working???
Thanks!
Yes, when I have a stone or stones, I'll have a much more frequent urge to urinate than when I don't have a stone. I've also experienced a very slight burning sensation at times with a stone too. Are you on anything like Flomax? I've noticed a more frequent urge since I've been taking Flomax too. Not sure if that's the Flomax, or just my age coming into play.LOL!
Persistently foamy urine can be a sign of protein in your urine (proteinuria), which requires further evaluation. Large amounts of protein in urine may indicate a serious kidney problem. In your case it appears to have been ruled out. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and retrograde ejaculation are 2 other possibilities. In men, the most common source of the infection is the prostate gland (prostatitis).
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.
I have a sulfur odor emitting from my pores which (naturally) is considerably worse when I sweat, but my urine doesn't have any noticeably unusual odor. This odor is so strong that I am barely able to get it out of my sheets! I have also developed nerve tremors which feel as though my entire body has been plugged into a low voltage electrical socket. Does any one know a cause for either of these problems and/or if they could be related? I am also perimenopausal. Could that play a roll here?
I just was on bactrim DS for 6 weeks for Prostatitis cause of pandemic they could not see me. My urine is always clean. I was given flomax but refuse to take it because of ejaculate going backwards and might faint. What can I do to solve this? I usually go to acupuncture but this pandemic is closing everything.
We've discovered on our forum that there are no topics too delicate or sensitive to be discussed by both sexes, so I hope you are not bothered by me discussion what I have found.
Also, I, too, am glad you have joined us and hope you stay.
It appears to me that what you are having is not a lack of semen production, but rather the ejaculate is being misdirected. In a condition called "retrograde ejaculation" the semen is directed into the bladder rather than down the urethra.
This can be diagnosed by urine culture. Strong fruity odor is due to uncontrolled diabetes. Interestingly urine odor changes in menopause too. Urinary bladder infection and kidney infections do produce strong smelling urine. Another reason is dehydration. Strong ammonia smell is due to protein breakdown.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
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.
Generally bad odor is due to infection, mainly by E coli. This can be diagnosed by urine culture. Strong fruity odor is due to uncontrolled diabetes. Interestingly urine odor changes in menopause too (in ladies). Urinary bladder infection and kidney infections do produce strong smelling urine. Another reason is dehydration. Strong ammonia smell is due to protein breakdown.
Drink more water during the day and see if this helps. Otherwise discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined.
m 44 years old and for the past few years I was suffering with low urine flow. I have no pain or any issue with empting urine or urge of an urine all the time. Two years ago I did a Cystoscopy and last year flow measurement test (Not Urodynamics) and blood test for any cancer and prostate issues. They found nothing. Again I went to a different doctor thinking to find the cause of this last week. He wanted me to do the Cystoscopy again and UroDynatics test.
I have been on this medicine (together with a double dose of Flomax) for the past two years. I have noticed a definite improvement in urinary symptoms (fewer trips to the bathroom, better flow), but it has wreaked havoc with my sex life (no erections, no ejaculation). I would like to quit, but am afraid that the effects of quitting might be worse than the ones I am currently experiencing.
I am 69 years old.
Update. Had a cystoscopy/cystography done yesterday, with a machine that did not record the results, but ony view. I viewed the display too. The Dr said my prostate is enormous, and there's no way I'd be able to urinate without surgery. I tried to urinate on my own for a few hours after that procedure, after my catheter was removed, and while I could at first, later I couldn't.

Give him plenty of water and see if the smell improves. Also talk to your doctor regarding these possibilities.

a sudden onset of an episode of excruciating pain on right side of abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting and bloody (pink) urine. Percodan + Zofran help.
March 8: The severe pain disappears and has never come back. (thought I passed the kidney stone.) Internist finds blood in my urine (not visible to the naked eye).
March 10: An episode of painless gross hematuria.
march 11: CAT Scan reveals “ 3 mm.
I was under the impression that this bladder disfunction was the result of MS. The muscles that control the bladder get corrupted messages as a result of MS damaged nerves. I've seen 3 urologists and all have been unable to find anything structurlly wrong.
I am not at the self cathing point yet, but I have had 2 UTI's in the last year. THey were the result of old, unvoided urine sloshing around in my bladder. The only treatment I'm getting is .8mg Flomax erveryday.
How is it possible that I can be producing that much urine? My water intake is probably no more than 6 glasses per day. I am taking two Flomax capsules each day. No pain while urinating , nothing odd in the urine and color of urine is good. I have a moderately strong initial stream, then a 10-12 second pause followed by 10-12 seconds of dripping. Does this all sound normal for my age or can I do something to lower the frequency?
