Common Questions and Answers about Flomax and erection

flomax

Avatar m tn I am 77 years old and have been taking Flomax for about 2 years. I have had cool thermo therapy for enlarged prostrate about 2 years ago. Unrination is really no problem anymore, but I have a problem with getting erections and now when I ejaculate I have no semon in me. Also have a runny nose mostly in the a.m. What is your advice and opinion for this problem. Thank you This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/225454'>use of Flomax</a>.
Avatar n tn 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. I'm starting to suspect tamsulosin but before stopping it and perhaps trying saw palmetto wanted to check.
Avatar m tn Side effects of proscar include trouble getting or keeping an erection, decrease in sex drive, decreased volume of ejaculate, and ejaculation disorders. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Also, it has been going on 4 years since my surgery and I still have a problem achieving a fulll erection. I have stiffness and girth from the base of my penis up to about 2 - 3 inches and while the rest of the penis is somewhat erect, it remains semi-flaccid which sometimes makes penetration difficult. I am beginning to second guess my choice of Urologists though he came highly recommended. He seems to try and avoid any discussions unrelated to PSA levels and incontinence.
Avatar m tn Thanks for the quick reply Dr Veena. Another question for you: should I take Flomax BEFORE taking Cipro? I've heard taking Flomax and hour or 2 before will soften the prostate and allow the antibiotic to better penetrate the prostate? Does it matter if I take them in the morning or evening, or is the rule just be consistent? Thanks again.
Avatar m tn Uncontrollable erections in sleep are called as nocturnal emissions, and they are quiet common in men of all ages. Some patient’s wake up and have a control on it, while some others have an erection while they are asleep. It is not considered abnormal and is not a side effect of use of flomax.
Avatar n tn ve been to a urologist and had testing or no? This article talks about stress and anxiety and how it can negatively impact your erection https://www.healthline.com/health/erectile-dysfunction-anxiety-stress BUT, you want to make sure that you've ruled out other things first. So, you have to talk to your doctor about this.
Avatar m tn Well the Prostatitis recurred and coens and goes… I heard about the belt… reluctant to do the flomax hence the side effects…. It really does sucks….
Avatar m tn Saw my primary MD today. He said that the Flomax relaxes muscles in the bladder and prostate, and the Avodart shrinks the prostate. 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 Pleasure yourself as long as you can, until JUST BEFORE YOU EJACULATE, THEN STOP, and let your erection subside. Do this once or twice before you want to ejaculate...can be over a period of a few hours too. 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 I've taken flomax for several years, and want to undergo cataract surgery. What should I expect? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/224322'>Cataract surgery and Flomax</a>.
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 m tn Six months later I went to a GP and he diagnosed me with prostatitis. He prescribed Cipro and Flomax. This helped for a while, but eventually it stopped. Next I went to a urologist. He took a history and did a dre. He said my prostate felt inflamed and I did indeed have prostatitis. The pain was quite severe at this point and I was having problems urinating. He prescribed doxycycline and flomax. This seemed to work for a little while. I returned three months later and told him of my status.
Avatar n tn A reduction in semen can be caused by certain drugs (such as Flomax and others). It is somewhat a part of aging but can also be caused by prostate enlargement which interferes with proper ejaculation just as it does urination. A small amount of a daily alpha-blocker ( a blood pressure med) can help relax the prostate muscles, if that is causing a restriction. If your doctor dismisses it, insist that this is bothersome to you and make sure you are doing all you can.
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>.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I was given cipro and Flomax for pelvic pain and a UTI. the pain was through the whole pelvis and also individual veins or spermatic cord. does Flomax permanently shrink your prostate or reduce testosterone levels? I read one forum where people where saying they had a permanent loss of strength, could not throw the discus as far?
Avatar f tn I stopped, and when the urinary issues seemed to be more problematic again, I returned to the added Flomax, and immediately discovered the same lack of semen and abdominal pain (during the 2 months not taking Flomax, ejaculatory function returned to normal). My question (after all that build up) is are any other men here on Flomax combined with Detrol LA? And, if so, has anyone had the same experiences that I previously explained?
Avatar m tn I read a question that a person was taking flomax and found he had dry ejaculation, just wanted to confirm it. I have been prescribe flomax.
Avatar m tn I would concentrate on finding the best cataract surgeon on your plan and make sure he or she has done dozens and dozens of Flomax cases and is very comortable with the management. Dr. David Chang in Los Altos, CA has written extensively on the best techniques to manage such cases.
Avatar m tn t seem to be a great drug since it lowers blood pressure too much, I almost fainted on losartan and flomax. Is it true it permenently exhausts you and causes muscle weakness?
Avatar m tn I don't think it's a good drug, I have normal BP and it lowered my BP 10 points. does flomax cause exhaustion and permanent tiredness like one forum says?
