My doc has prescribed this drug for benign prostatic hyperplasia. I need help with urinary frequency, urgency, and frequent night time urination.

It is too early to tell if the drug is helping. It can three to six months to have the desired effect of reducing prostate swelling.

I am posting because of my concern about side effects. They include reduced libido, erection and ejaculation difficulties, and, in rare cases, high grade prostate cancer. My doctor is confident this is the right move for me, and I have absolute confidence in her.

Has anyone taken this medication? What side effects? How did you respond to side effects?
