Anyone else in flomax?

My doctors started me on it because my prostate is somewhat enlarged.

My first jerk off was crazy. I came but I don’t think any cum came out. Does this ever get better??

I am taking it and have not had this reaction. It is a side effect, but not for most guys.

R1, I get every fucking sexual side effect when I take medicine. When I tried propecia, of course I’m the one who gets all the weird impotence problems, so I stopped. Hopefully there’s something other than flomax that helps because I can’t live life like this

There's a Flo MAX?

I have taken it when I am having kidney stones issues... the no coming freaked me out so when I have to take it, I do not do anything until it's out of my system

R5 Same reason here - luckily only took it for a short while on two occasions - the cumming thing was very weird.

You don't say how old you are, OP but take it from this oldster--it only gets weirder, and then you finally learn to live with it.

The condition is called "retrograde ejaculation" as the semen ends up in your bladder rather than coming out the penis. I had some prostrate surgery a few years ago because I was never fully emptying and this procedure corrected this. The side effect unfortunately was retrograde ejaculation. You still come and have an orgasm but there is no "money shot'. I've gotten used to it and save a lot of money on Kleenex!

Masturbation without ejaculation is truly an unpleasant experience. That's why I stopped Flomax.

After stopping Flomax, how long does it take to get back to normal?

by Anonymousreply 11March 27, 2023 3:51 PM

I was prescribed Flomax for pelvic floor tension/pain. I was taking it for around 6-months and it helped that issue. The 'reverse ejaculation' was the worst. I think it is far more common than the literature lets on, because the PA at my Urologist's office said that I should expect to have that side effect. I was lucky that I could stop taking it after my symptoms subsided.

Ok, I've been on it for a month now and had to do a search for Flomax on DL to see what you queens had to say about the reverse ejaculation issue. Am I I alone in actually liking not having to deal with cum all over the place? Easier cleanup and I never enjoyed dealing with mine or anyone else's jizz.

r13

it freaked me out that nothing came out

If you’re bummed by FloMax side effects, just wait until your urologist puts you on Proscar. You have no idea.

by Anonymousreply 15May 28, 2024 11:37 PM

OP, nope.

Happens to me too.

On the plus side, no clean up.

by Anonymousreply 16May 28, 2024 11:46 PM

I've had no issues with ejaculation, but I have issues with dizziness when I bend down for any length of time...weeding the garden, for example.

by Anonymousreply 17May 29, 2024 12:14 AM

I love jizz.

Does semen in the bladder cause any issues?

by Anonymousreply 18May 29, 2024 12:23 AM

I'm on Flomax and I'm still having issues. I wake up in the middle of the night to pee with a weak stream, I sit for 5 minutes or so, and often I can't tell if I'm even peeing, but I am, enough to relieve the pressure, and then I'm awake for an hour or so...sucks.

by Anonymousreply 19May 29, 2024 1:17 AM

at what age did you start noticing problems?

by Anonymousreply 20May 29, 2024 1:25 AM

I'm 62, starting maybe 2 years ago.

by Anonymousreply 21May 29, 2024 1:28 AM

I'm 44 and noticed around 39/40. Flomax seriously helps me pee like normal...it's great.

by Anonymousreply 22May 29, 2024 1:42 AM

I’m on 2 for years for the benignly enlarged prostrate thing, for years. The Doxazosin at night and the Finasteride in mornings. Since starting on the two altogether, definitely I’ve noticed my moods slipping more frequently not really rescuing for feeling the urge to do how. Weird.

by Anonymousreply 23May 29, 2024 2:21 AM

^Rescuing? Uhm, no, my apologies, should say, “Plus not to mention not really feeling the urge to do it.”

by Anonymousreply 24May 29, 2024 2:33 AM

I also had retrograde ejaculation (“backwash”) while on Flomax. I don’t have this issue with Alfuzosin (a prescription alternative to Flomax) and I supplement it with Chinese herbs that I buy from my accupuncturist With that said, different bodies respond differently to different meds.
