Neurogenic bladder help!

I was on Tadalafil, Alfuzosin and Sildosin. I'm retaining 600CCs before I go and my urologist suggested intermittent catheterization. I've been doing that 4x a day for the last two weeks and frankly it stinks.

How long of a delay in treatment is too long? And how does weak urinary flow interface with RT?

He then prescribed alfuzosin, but I was afraid to take it because of some similarities to Doxazosin. What to do? Doxazosin apparently comes in a 1mg. dosage. Does it make sense to try that, maybe just before bedtime instead of after dinner, and see if I can gradually build it up to 4mg?

Alfuzosin doesn't make a difference!

Why would some men have no response to Alfuzosin? My doc says it's the best. Does it indicate I might have a different disease? Is there a common denominator in the men for whom this drug is ineffective? Anyone else have this experience?

Bladder issues/benign Prostate hypertrophy

Also had urodynamics to rule out any bladder problems I now find myself taking Alfuzosin three times a day but still have overnight leakages (usually when erect). I take supplements like pumpkin seed oil. Saw palmetto, cranberry but symptoms don’t seem to subside.

A Question about Recovery

I have been taking Alfuzosin 10 mg since January 1, and although I know it helps I still feel far from normal. I am able to achieve erections and orgasm although the latter is uncomfortable as well.

My SBRT Journey

They also prescribed a medication to increase the urine flow called Alfuzosin. I started taking the Alfuzosin after a few days as the restricted flow and associated discomfort was relentless. I felt like I needed to be all the time. December 17 9 AM Today was pretty easy.

TRUP vs. alternatives

Alpha blockers include: alfuzosin (Uroxatral) doxazosin (Cardura) silodosin (Rapaflo) tamsulosin (Flomax) terazosin (Hytrin) 5-alpha reductase inhibitors for BPH This type of medication reduces the size of the prostate gland by blocking hormones that spur the growth of your prostate gland.

Urinary/bowel issues during radiation?

I’ve been on Alfuzosin 10mg since the brachytherapy. Wondering if I should try one of the others? Trying to cut down on meals and go more low fiber to help with gas/bloating and frequency. Also trying to stick to mainly water, with none past dinner.

BHP drug treatment

Some that instead of taking alfuzosin or the like one should take cialis on a daily basis. Has anyone tried this?

Is it Benign Prostate Hyperplasia(BPH)?

During my visit to my urologist/surgeon 7 days post surgery he has given me 2 month course of Alfuzosin. What do you think do I have Benign Prostate Hyperplasia(BPH)? I am 44 and is much into martial arts, swimming, gym etc. I try to eat very healthy.

BPH, retrograde ejaculation and mental health (newbie post)

Previously I have been on tamsulosin and alfuzosin, separately. I have told my GP that I am suffering from moderate to severe fatigue, which I am, and which sometimes makes holding down a full time job extremely difficult, especially one in which I am required to be physically active.
