In addition to the BHP and pain and loss of orgasim, I have retrograde
ejaculation or zero sperm count. I have heard that flomax causes this
retrograde problem.

Does anyone know anything about that?

I am going to try a course of Prosta-Q and coral capsium for a month just
for grins. I am getting no joy from anything else so far, so why not?

I am interested in hearing what you folks may think.

THanks

Bill

I had a horrible experience with this drug. Side effects are awful.

My primary doc said the same thing about Flomax in the context of a
discussion about the Uroxatral the uro prescribed for what he called
a "prostate in spasm".
FWIW
YMMV

For most people flomax is not too bad a drug from a adverse reaction point
of view as long as you do not take more than 0.4mg each day. Some people
can get retrograde ejaculation with it, but this is more common at higher
doses. Most drugs in this class will have the same problems. If this drug
will help with prostatitis or not is another question.

I find the retrograde ejaculation awful when just taking one
dose....needs at least 24hrs after absorption to slowly disapate...27
years old...unsat. feeling.

I tried Prosta Q for what I thought might be prostatitis and the
positive results were almost instantaneous. Funny thing though, after
using Prosta Q for almost four weeks I began feeling the cure was
becoming the disease. Meaning, although it cured the painful symptoms
of prostatitis I felt it was causing other (albeit minor) problems
down there. So I went off the Prosta Q, felt better for it, yet the
prostatitis never came back. I also tried Vioxx with good results but
didn't want Vioxx to become a habit. What I still do is take Uroxatral
one to two times a week. Being a runner I don't think I could handle
the Uroxatral more than that.
