I recently started taking tamsulosin for BPH. I initially had the usual dizzy feeling (now gone) but not any of the other side effects listed. Apart from one - my flaccid penis is significantly longer and fatter than usual. No change in erect state. I noticed it on day 2 and thought no more about it. But since it is persisting I am very happy to suffer this side effect.!
Anyone else noticed this?
Normally side effects are bad but you seem to have hit the jackpot of positivity!!
Indeed! I could not believe it when I first noticed. Had to google it. It is a recognised issue with all alpha blocking drugs. It brings a smile to my face every time I get a glimpse.
That is a great side effect. Hmmm maybe I should ask my doctor about that. 😀
I have the same results from using the 5 mg daily dose of Tamsulosin. I’m hanging about two inches longer than before. It’s strange walking by my bathroom mirrors and seeing myself with a new dick. Hard ons are the same, maybe a little stiffer. I also now have erections all night long like a 15 year old kid again! I’ve been using it now for two months.
Wow, I haven't noticed any increase in size, but certainly my libido has not been affected. I am also taking finasteride though. I wonder what if anything would happen if I were to discontinue that?
I am I am riveroxaban or wat ever u call it
Nice to meet u anyways x
Well, finasteride is designed to shrink the prostate and thus help to relieve the symptoms of BPH. Some men take both tamsulosin and finasteride since they work in different ways. Finasteride does have the effect of decreasing libido in some men, but it is not something I have experienced.
That’s good. Glad you are happy with your therapy.
Lucky you! I was taking tamsulosin for a number of years, and it didn't have that effect on me!! Now I'm taking finsateride, and that's possibly having a negative effect. Keep well. 
Seems like THAT side effect doesn’t happen to everyone who takes it. Which is odd. Why were you switched to finasteride, if you don’t mind me asking?
Hi Tam user. Just read your reply to a finnasteride question
As you know I was prescribed tam and had no effect on reducing the size of my prostate so as well as the tam was given Finn. Neither had any effect
That's how I ended up with TURP procedure
Take care pal
☹️ not ideal 👎
Hi Tam-user. Thanks for the reply. No worries - you ask away! I had been experiencing moderate bladder incontinence for a number of years when it struck me that taking a medication like Tamsulosin wasn't the best idea, so I packed it in and told the GP what I'd done. A year or so later, at my routine flexible cystoscopy (about six years ago I had a small transitional cell carcinoma develop and am now tested annually for any recurrence) I was prescribed Finasteride (5mg daily), which is having a limited effect. I will probably need surgery within the next couple of years as the prostate is now considerably enlarged. Personally I'd prefer an enlarged penis to an enlarged prostate, but that's outside my sphere of influence..... LOL! Best wishes as always. Keep well and positive. Sinewave
It's a shame that your results aren't universal..what a side effect to have..a medical breakthrough if it worked on every male. All I can say is...enjoy
I’ve just started Tamsulosin and whilst not significantly bigger, it is certainly noticeable. However, the expense so far is that my erections don’t last as long, and,my wife, is only interested in the latter state of being, not the former. It’s like having a £100k electric car without a plug in charger! Hopefully it will work it’s way through, early days.
I’m glad you posted this. I too, have noticed a difference in flaccid hang since using this drug.
