A member asked:
Is there a natural herb or medicine instead of taking flomax (tamsulosin) for urinary problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Saw palmetto has been shown in some small studies to help with symptoms of prostatism-urgency, frequency, dribbling, small, sluggish stream, but most recent and larger studies do not confirm or validate this. Can try it-if it works, fine. Decrease caffeine, antihistamines, decongestants, stimulants, irritants, e.g. Spicy foods- may help as well. Don't drink liquids for 3-5 h before bedtime.
