Painful Peeing/Tamsulosin post RP

[trregan]

Hi Everyone,

It's been about 1.5 year since my RP. My psa is .4 and generally life is great-ish.

The ish part of this is the following:

With Tamsulosin, I pee alot during the night...4-6 x...which leaves me exhausted the next day. Without it, I get up 2x a night and generally sleep better and for the next two weeks will stay off of it to see how I manage.

Without Tamsulosin, peeing is often painful...urgent, then delayed and painful at the base of my dick...sometimes at the end of my dick...ouch.

I saw my urologist a few weeks ago and my bladder was not impacted by the radiation. and I was good to go according to him.

However, I am generally fatigued and yawn and nap frequently. I am normally an energizer bunny kinda guy.

Does anyone have similar experiance?

Thanks guys!

Antibiotics don't help? Do you refrain from drinking anything at night, and cut back on fruit juices and caffeine?Especially important to refrain from cranberry juice. Try a different alpha-blocker.

No cranberry juice!
