Been on flomax (tamsulosin) .4mg / day for BPH for 2 years. Have several side effects. When i stop flomax (tamsulosin) can my urine stream stop entirely? If so what would i do?
Is Tamsulosin supposed to reduce nighttime frequent urination? it actually feels like the opposite (dad wakes up ~every 20mins, disrupting his sleep). 0.4mg for 4yrs but can he stop it now? is there an alternative? Urologist not helpful?
Can flomax (tamsulosin) cause feeling needing always pee and sore abdomen? Always feel have to hold back urine or go every 20mins
Could solely raised bladder neck cause - frequent urination/feeling never empty, pressure, knot feel? Flomax (tamsulosin) not helping or other meds.
I am urinating frequently during day between 6-10 ounces and 4 to 5 times at night between 10 -13 ounces. Dr ordered Tamsulosin 0.4mg to reduce the numerous times by relaxing the prostate for more flow. Why do i want more flow than I already do?
