Use of flomax in women
Common Questions and Answers about Use of flomax in women
flomax
The surgeon may possible have you use strong dilating drops for a few days before surgery, an injection of epinephrine or phenylephrine in the eye, the use of Healon 5 and or flexible, disposable iris retractors may also be needed. Overall, with proper technique, your risk of complications should be just a little more than the average case. I have been doing about 1 or 2 such cases a week for the last 3 years or so.
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.
However since you have a history of cancer, it would be wise to go back to your doctor once and rule out the possibility of bladder cancer, which too can result in blood clots in urine. Even other wise repeated injury to urethra is not good. I would sincerely advice you to consult your urologist ASAP.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Risks of complications increase if the surgeon cannot see the cataractous lens well. Flomax often but not always causes the pupil not to dilate well in response to dilating drops. In removing the cataract which is behind the pupil the doctor cannot visualize the peripheral portion of the lens which means that he or she is "flying blind" trying to pulverize the lens and evacuate the pieces.
Needless to say, I found this to be disconcerting, and discovered (through onling research) that a decrease in semen production was a common side effect of Flomax. But, I kept on using this combination hoping things would improve with the semen. Needless to say, after approximately 3 weeks, I had the same experience, but this time followed by pain in my lower abdomen (during the end of orgasm sensations).
Hello,
Flomax is used for the treatment of BPH and if you are having side effects to this drug then you can use other alpha blockers like doxazosin, terazosin, alfuzosin or 5 alpha reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride.
Effects may take longer to appear than alpha blockers, but they persist for many years. But they are available under prescription and should always be taken under a medical guidance.
I sincerely hope that helps.
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.
I have SEVERE lower back pain(Continually) my doctor gave me Cipro (Antibiotic) thinking perhaps I had an infection, I've finally taken all the antibiotic, however the lower back pain still present. Are there other proven symptoms I may have that I am not aware of, doesn't hurt when I urinate, however I don't always empty my bladder, I take Flomax(without Flomax I probably wouldn't even be able to go to the bathroom. Anyone experience this. Thank You.
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.
t know the pros and cons regarding that procedure during pregnancy. Is your wife on Flomax? Nothing I know of will relieve that pain except removal of the remaining stone unless it passes on its own. Again though, I am not an MD and I would suggest further consultation with her treating physician to discuss the questions you've posed in here. He/she would/should have the answers you're wanting. Obviously pregnancy is tough enough without this additional pain every 2 days.
A problem is, testosterone varies a whole lot in both men and women, by the day, hour, week, etc. and even more in women than men, so the only true way to know if you had abnormally low levels would have been to test you a lot, not just twice. You did have the same levels twice, so it might be a problem. A question would be, how's your sexual desire? How's your stamina? How's your ability to build muscle? How's your energy levels?
often have to press on it to release but know that there is still a significant amount of urine left in the bladder when i am done.would bladder training work - similar to training used for incontinence. Please help. My doctor is of no help and this has been going on for a long time. It should be mentioned that i am an otherwise healthy 33 yr old female.
Any help would be appreciated.
Are you taking Flomax for prostate issues? Flomax works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate, which leads to improved flow of urine and fewer symptoms of BPH. It indeed can have side effects like you describe. https://www.healthline.com/health/enlarged-prostate/flomax-side-effects#side-effects It's a relatively low percentage of patients, less than 4% that have these types of side effects but none the less, that could be going on for you.
I was a Flomax user and when I went to Iceland I tried a new product called Sagapro
I now use sagapro and have given up on the Flomax which did not work well on me.
Go to the web site www.sagamedicausa.com i was amazed at how it helped my swollen prostate, and it was all natural made from angelica.
My friends in Iceland tell me sagapro is now outselling Flomax and you dont need a doctors note.
These were perscribed in place of Flomax and Celebrex in the hopes of reducing the inflammation and opening the neck of the bladder to release the urine now being held in my bladder. Should I take these meds even though the Flomax (tamsulosin) is not approved for women? Also considering my past medical history Im scared to take either meds, should I?
This problem is usually treated with the use of oral analgesics(pain killers) and tamsulosin is thought to play an important role in the relief of the pain and unfortunately how tamsulosin produces a relief is also not known.
I’ll suggest you to discuss the same with your urologist.
I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.
Anybody experienced a side effect from Flomax of acute leg pain? I mean, ACUTE. I'm also on Cypro (for prostatitis). BUt the leg pain didn't begin until I began with Flomax, three days ago. MY doctor says, take Tylenol. But it offers only brief and incomplete relief. The pain itself diminishes, epsecially during the day. But it's there and I can't explain it.
yes the Flomax is the cause of your retro. I've read people have permanent strength loss on Flomax too.
some people are anti Avodart since it affects the prostate hormonally and may have longterm effects. I think I may stop the Flomax after a few days on 0.8mg/day
I had a burning urination like I was releasing prostate fluid so maybe that is good? I really want to get prostate drainage, it seems that some urologists may do prostate massage.
While I am not an expert in the use of this medication for the treatment of BPH, it seems that it is available as an over the counter supplement in parts of Europe.
Evidently it is considered to be relatively safe, but as with all herbal medications, it should be used with caution. This herb may be contraindicated in individuals with active bleeding (eg, peptic ulcer, intracranial bleeding).
I'm a male, age 18, and I'm having a whole lot of trouble urinating. I've had trouble with this in the past, but god, it's never been this bad. A few years ago I first noticed difficulty peeing at my ex girlfriend's house. Looking into the condition, I figured it must be paruresis. However, last year, after getting surgery (I had a pilonidal sinus removed), I found that I COULD NOT pee when I got home.
