m also not a doctor, but do take Rapaflo which I much preferred over Flomax (only occasional minor headaches vs. more constant ones, & almost no sinus congestion vs. significant congestion). I see some confusion by many over the "retrograde ejaculation" talked about by many. True retrograde ejaculation is when the semen is diverted into the bladder rather than being expelled out thru the penis. It can usually be identified by a modest foaming in the urine after the event.
I was givin medcations obviously with no improvement and after the medications he decided he wanted to give me a prostate massage And rapaflo. The prostate massage was very painful and I noiced a pinching sting at the tip of my penis durring it that still comes and flies to this day.
All negative. Urologist thought it could prostatitis. He put me on Rapaflo and it took care of that problem then.
Now since last 10 days, I am getting pain and tingling on penis shaft. using Rapaflo again now. pain in pelvic region reduced a lot but the penis pain is still there. don't know what is the cause of this problem. My PSA test result shows 0.8.
I have a teenager and busy at work. getting depressed with this issue.
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..
, where normal for him means slow urination due to long standing BHP, but not as slow, painful, and dribbling as with Flomax. We are just guessing that the way Flomax works by relaxing muscles is causing these effects. (Could the enlarged prostate end up pressing even more on muscles?? I realize these are just guesses: I have looked at a lot of medical sites, but this does not look like to be listed as a side effect!
light headness after cataract surgery and Dr was told about Flomax of which I am still on 2 years later
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.
He takes 5 mg blood pressure med and he takes Flomax daily. When he first started taking Flomax; which he needs to be able to urinate or as he says to keep his plumbing working, anyway, he would have dizzy spells. His doctor said this was normal, a side effect of Flomax. But now lately he has been passing out; I think that is unusual for any medication and I'm worried there may be something else going on.
Can flomax have impact on your sleeping behavior.
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
I have been using finesteride instead of flomax for the last 4 month.
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>.
I have been experiencing retrograde ejaculation from taking Flomax and Uroxatral for several years. Will normal ejaculation return if I stop the medication? How long will it take?
s from the Flomax my husband takes and that it will take longer for his vision to clear.(the Dr. was aware of the flomax before surg.) What has been your experience with this troublesome outcome? My husband is very discouraged.
