so seen the dr today as I’ve been having a bit of trouble peeing standing up. They’ve advised tamsolosin over alfuzosin. I read alfuzosin has a better record at stopping erectile dysfunction- she said both are pretty much the same….
Can anyone give me advice/experiences with this. I also have glaucoma- I’m hoping it won’t be impacted.
many thanks
rob
Sorry...not much help here however I used Alfuzosin for about 2 years as we were trying to figure out what was going on with my prostate/urine retention. I never had any issues with it concerning ED or retrograde ejaculation. It seems that the differences between toleration of a lot of meds is user-based. Try Tamsulosin and see what happens...you can always stop/go back. Good luck.
Hi Rob,
I suffered with pretty serious urinary symptoms from about 2008 - 2018. I had a huge prostate, 78cc back in 2012 and 150cc in 2018. My Uro put me on two different alpha-blockers and the side effects were intolerable. I don't remember which ones. The third one we tried was alfuzosin and it was great for me. No problems with erections or orgasms and my urinary symptoms improved 80% or so. I probably took it daily for about ten years. In 2018 my prostate was removed so problem solved. Alfuzosin was really good for me.
Thank you. Can I ask how old you were when you first got urinary/prostate issues. I’ve just turned 41.
