Does flomax (tamsulosin) at .4mg daily actually shrink the prostate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decreasing Semen: Nope. The prostate gland should be thought of as a balloon. The semen production is decreased with this medication so less is filling up the prostate and with less fluid there is less size or a smaller 'balloon'.
