tamsulosin g-tube

Does anyone have a g tube? Due to severe dysphagia and weight loss I may have to have one put in and wondered how people are coping with it any problems .

Hello I am brand new to this forum, I am doing this through my phone so please forgive any typos. I was doing a search on the internet for kidney stone pain and some threads came up from this site, I hope I am posting in the right spot. I am male 40 years old, this morning I woke up with a incredibly painful pressure pain in my lower back, the pressure and pain only increased as time went by. I started feeling sick to my stomach and sweeting. Wife had to take me to the E.R.

However if you decide to give her a feeding tube you should first start with a NG tube which is less permanent then a G tube and doesn't require surgery.

A doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 625mg + Tamsulosin medicine for 10 days to me. I have a side effect after taking Tamsulosin (Retrograde ejaculation) or any other ejaculation problem. Is this normal or should I stop using Tamsulosin? Or will it (Retrograde ejaculation ) recover after stop using ten days? Should I keep getting Tamsulosin for 10 days or stop?

I am using Flowmax (Tamsulosin) for about 3 months for enlarged prostate. I started noticing my Testicles hang lower now and not tight anymore since I have been using this medication.. Could this be from the use of Tamsulosin?

It's unusual that tamsulosin should relieve your chest pain. While tamsulosin is used primarily as a prostate medication, it can also lower blood pressure in some individuals. This may be a sign that your blood pressure is high (which may lead to chest pain in some), which is then being reduced by the tamsulosin. Enlargement can occur due to a number of reasons.

I will ask my doctor, thanks! She (my ped) did bring that up yesterday when we spoke on the phone. I didn't ask what type of procedure it is. Do you know if it's considered a surgery? Thanks again for responding.

I saw my urologist he other day and she said that she now like Rapaflo (slidosin) more than Flomax (tamsulosin) for urinary hesitancy. Both are designed to address benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I know the primary audience is men, but there are women who take tamsulosin for urinary hesitancy. I was taking the max dose of tamsulosin, .8mg/day. I'm now taking 8mg Rapaflo/day. I'm told that it will take 4-5 days to see the full benefit if Rapaflo and I'm now on day 3.

Does Tamsulosin 0.4 Mg cause Ed?

Sperm are made in the testicles. To reach the penis, they travel along the narrow tube of the epididymis (which lies just outside the testicles) and then along larger tubes (one from each testicle). These tubes join together and go through the prostate gland to the penis. The journey distance is about 6 metres (because the epididymis tube is very tiny and tightly coiled), and can take up to 3 weeks.

I had agressive treatment with a combination of external radiation and Brachytherapy. I now on Uromax tablets (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride 0.4 mg) which is causing me severe pain when ejaculating. Please advice if there is anything I can as I am still very young.

I am scheduled for these two tests prior deciding for TURP (or TUIP or laser as KTP or HoLRP or??(*)). The rationale is that despite high doses (2x0.4 mg) of alpha blockers (tamsulosin) I still have a huge residual (~500-600 mL) and maybe a distended bladder. I might have developed a chronic retention and I am told TURP will help. But is it true? My symptoms are mild and beside the asymptomatic retention I do not feel anything particular.

So now to my question, the urologist wants me to take two medications - generic names are tamsulosin 0.4mg and meloxicam 15mg. 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?

I've never had one personally, only worked with children that had them. So if you have any questions that don't require a personal perspective, let me know and I'll try to answer them for you.

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.

I've been taking tamsulosin for 3 or 4 years now after my urologist prescribed it for BPH. I'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.

At 65 I was told I was "late" in getting BPH, but as anyone knows, better late but not better than never with this one. Anyway, I have tried Epsom Salt baths and UrinoZinc, as I did not like Tamsulosin at all. It made my breathing labored, and I don't like the idea of Retrograde Ejaculation. I have had painful external orgasms and urination, and although my enlargement is not that bad-the Urologist told me it was .5 and had others at 1 and 1.

My son came home at 5 mos old 22 hours a day on g-tube feeding - weaned off within 4 months. My daughter, adopted at 3, is just now at almost 10 years old being weaned off tube feedings (1/3 of large bowel removed). It can be a slow process. I'm looking for direction myself.....it's just between me weighing them as I wean them to oral feeding........

Had to have a G tube put in, have 3 blockages. Was unable to eat, now on TPN iv at home. Is there life after the G tube. Will I ever have this removed?

Hi i experience frequent urination urge and urine retention and tamsulosin quite help me but symptoms still persist.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community! How long have you had the J-tube? Have they checked the placement of the J tube? Do you have any granulation tissue?

Obstruction is a possibility also hinted, afaik, by a large urea/creatinine ratio in the urine. I am taking tamsulosin 0.4 mg/d and testing with my doctor 0.8 mg/d to check PVR. I have had regularly and also recently DREs which were all normal. I am 56, otherwise healthy, moderately active, fit and eating a well balanced diet with relatively high protein intake (Zone).

My daughter is a very active 28 months old and is presently on a g tube. She has been diagnosed wiht GERD and gastroparesis. In the past she has been on a j tube but has now been put back on a g tube which is obviously easier to deal with when she pulls it out. My question is when she eats she appears to be choking but never really does choke.

My husband has a G-tube for all food, meds, hydration resulting from radiation to tongue years ago. His major problem is aspiration pneumonia since the valve to his airway(s) does not close and is in open position constantly. Reflux of food and gases causes repeated pneumonia episodes, the latest resulting in more than 2 months in 4 hospitals and extreme loss of weight. He is facing jejunostomy in the very near future. We are told that later, fundoplication may be great help to him.
