So I actually used two applications (500 MCG), and it gave me a UTI. The physician feared priapism and gave me the low dosage. Was the use of the application twice dangerous to the urethra? Should I try a 1000MCG? I am not sure about the carvaject injections? I actually heard a high risk of priapism.
I recently found a medical source that stated ages 5 to 10yrold boys are in an age bracket that has a greater frequency of priapism. I remember that my penis hurt during erections and my erections lasted at least 10 hours on several occasions. The pain would continue after the erection ceased but if the erection didn't return for about a day the pain would gradually diminish. At the next moment the next erection started I felt the pain build up again.
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.
At the same time I noticed I had a small urge to urinate which may have opened the flood gates and the priapism was gone along with the pain but was left with numbness in the penis and testicles for a few minutes after.
It wasn't that common for me to get a priapism and even when I did it was never this painful nor has it been so hard to get rid of. The the painful priapism became more frequent and the swelling of my left testicle worsened over a week and a half.
m sorry to inform that it sounds like your clitoris is dying and getting infected. Look up clitorism and priapism. Priapism is similar to clitorism but the later olny happens to a clitoris and priapism is relatively the same problem and it is better researched. The worst outcome of either is blackening of the erectile organ and infection that is potentially fatal.
So, you had priapism (erect penis for more than 4 hours -- that's an emergency by the way) several months ago and now you can't get erect. Did you not get treatment for the priapism? The longer you let it go if it happens, the greater the chance of a more long term situation. So, impotence has different reasons. Sometimes meds we take can cause it. What meds do you currently take? That can contribute. And a huge reason for impotence is our own mind.
I've taken flomax for several years, and want to undergo cataract surgery. What should I expect?

Hello, I take Sildenafil 100mg for ED. It helps but I'm still unsatisfied with how much I can get and maintain an erection. My doctor had me to try alprostadil last year, but it didn't work much. About a month ago, he suggested trimix. To be honest, I can't remember what dose he gave me. It worked amazingly, however my erection lasted over 4 hours, so I had to get the draining blood procedure done.
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?
Sorry to hear that you have the problem of erectile dysfunction and especially after being treated for the priapism. That must have been very painful for you.
I am not a doctor, but I would suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor or a different one or even consider referral to a urologist if your doctor feels this may be helpful.
The injection that you were given (papaverine) is used to relax and open the blood vessels.
Oh ya, definitely talk to your doctor! Priapism is the problem. We'd like to think you were just having a lot of sexy dreams but if the erection isn't coming and going during the night, no, that's not the case. Priapism can be ischemic or non ischemic. With ischemic, you are usually soft at the tip but rigid in the shaft and with non ischemic, you are usually erect but not fully rigid. Any of this ring a bell for you? There's different reasons for each one.
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 suggest that you study the issue of priapism and get several more medical opinions asap. Even if priapism is not the cause of the lump you found the lump is possibly an internal scar or tumor and either of these can easily induce priapism. Now I do not want to frieghten but many infants get normal erections that can be quite firm. And since the infants penis is not fully toughened prior to puberty it can be injured easily during any of its firm erections.
Regarding Priapism: They say that Priapism is an erection lasting longer than 4 hours. And permanent damage can occur after 4 hours that would result in future erectile dysfunction. My question is what type of erection qualifies for the 4 hours duration? For example sometimes I wake up with a full erection, then go the the bathroom. When I get back to my bed, I notice that my penis is about 30% to 40% erect, but not fully erect.
I actually work with a urologist at a clinic and he did my lithotripsy and stent placement on Monday. I have the worst spontaneous priapism ever. When I brought it up in conversation he said its normal to have this and its the way the urethra wants to expel the stent. It's not fun at at. I've had 2 surgeries for stone removal in less than 2 weeks with no pain medication, I'm allergic to narcotics and opioid. Miserable 2 weeks.
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

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?
about 2 weeks ago I crashed on a bike and my penis hit the seat. it hurt at first and there was a little pain, like a bruise, for a week or so but nothing was outwardly noticeable.
Then about a week later my penis became semi erect and will not go down or upp fully.
I went to the doctor and he said there is NOTHING that can be done.
I am experincing discomfort and I believe it is from everything being kinda jammed together now.
