Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / March 2004In defense of flomax
I have had BPH for many years now. I have been on flomax (I am now). I have to say that for me it has worked wonderfully. It has greatly increased my flow with MINIMAL side effects (some nose stuffiness, but not bad). At times it would appear to stop working, but then I would increase the dosage to 2 pills a day and that would usually jumpstart matters and eventually I could go back to 1 pill a day. I know little by little things have worsened in the sense that I have more "crises," although I've been in a "good streak" of late. But the GREATEST advantage has been that it has bought me time. When my problems started, TURP was the "gold standard." I am grateful that at least now I have the possibility of a PVP (I haven't seen the PVP doctor yet so I still am not 100% sure what I really have and if it is amenable to PVP). But flomax has been great for my situation!!! Mel >I have had BPH for many years now.

Yes it occurred to me that medication would buy me more time and I am also on Flomax, (I see my GP again on thursday) but I had never thought of doubling the dose. How does Flomax affect your libido though. I have only been on it for a month and it seems to have killed mine already. pete Pete: No effect on libido for me. But, when I increase the dosage (which I don't do too often) I do get retrograde ejac. I don't really consider it any big deal (unlike others seem to). I figure it's a small price to pay for relief of the symptoms. (I still get the normal orgasm sensation but, sadly, no ejac). With the normal 1 pill/day dosage I have pretty much normal ejac.

I have to see my GP on thursday so maybe he will refer me to the hospital Uro:-( pete >Mel >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> mine already. >> pete DON'T KID YOURSELF- USING FLOWMAX FOR TO LONG A PERIOD CAN RUIN YOUR BLADDER- I CAN SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.
