3 Months post ADT (Orgovyx) Still having hot flashes and fatigue-doing blood test in two weeks..for hopefully nadir..
(not taking
flomax
and taking 5 mg cialis every day). I don;t "feel" the Testosterone is back yet at all? Could I get a timetable as to T coming back and what I should be "feeling" and when do the post symtomology (i.e. fatique,hot flashes, etc. ) fade and go away?

Here we go.......
Prophylactic
Flomax
. Main concern is looking, feeling and acting like a little old man from ADT, and I am not ready for that. But it is only for 6 months…….

Low Dose Seed Brachytherapy Side Effects
Today RO changed me to
Flomax
0.8mg (x2 normal dose) at bedtime in the hope of helping nighttime issues. Any ideas why it’s always at night, between 2-4AM, when the alfuzosin should be at its highest blood level?

RT, keep thy bladder full.
Not sure asking for
Flomax
is correct, as I said I have no prostate nor flow issues.

Still on
flomax
. Every time I get CT o r MRi it creates artifacts and interferes with the test. I would not recommend it to anyone. I was first with radiation treatments to receive from my local doctor. Even had to add extra wire

SBRT - 1 year after
a little better during the day, but think i may need to consider
Flomax
. has anyone else experienced this? is
flomax
a temporary or long term solution? on the bowel front, more frequency and urgency. only 1 or 2 bad moments in the past year, but still not ideal.

urinary restriction
Flomax
is incompatible with anti- depress and sleep meds, I have to take to alleviate ADT side effects, and takes a month to work. Appreciate words of medical wisdom, other than "go with the flow" :)

TURP Prior to Radiation: Opinions?
After chemo, I have significantly less retention in my bladder but I'm still taking .8 mg of
Flomax
nd my prostate is still moderately enlarged. All things considered, my problems with urination were pretty significantly reduced after chemo/Lupron/Nubeqa.

Has anyone chosen SBRT despite preexisting urethritis?
I am aware that alpha blocker,
Flomax
, can alleviate the symptoms.

Infection or Cancer?
Start antibiotics and
flomax
. 4/23 - symptoms improve but still blood - gross sometimes but always show up on urine test strips and frequent weak urination still there. I go to shot nurse and get a PSA test and level is 18.2. Freak out. Never should have got a test not ordered by doctor!

Urinary Retention after Radiation
- Jun 2022 - UroFlow test - Prescribed
Flomax
instead of Oxybutynin, but after a month of trying this, the pain from bladder spasms was worse, so switched back to Oxybutynin.

SBRT process just starting
I am taking Finasteride (propecia) to try to shrink my prostate, Tamsulosin (
flomax
) to urinate better and I will begin taking Tadalafil (cialis) once the radiation starts to assist the bloodflow. I plan to post updates from my procedure and certainly post any questions I have.

Prostate Humor (because sometimes you just need a laugh
Why do urologists push
Flomax
more than laxatives? Because they’re all about number one. 9. How are my erections like a plate of spaghetti? They both were once hard and long, and now they’re both limp and bendy. 10. What does my urologist see when I bend over? Tiny little peenuts.

Tamsulosin (Flomax) causing/increasing AF?
I’ve been taking Tamsulosin for almost 5 yrs ago. AF starts just this February. Just read it’s side effects more closely, and noticed one NIH paper and another source, mentioned causing AF as a rare side effect. Have stopped it, and will look for an alternative if need be. Anyone else noticed any correlation

Input Needed.
Months of antibiotics and
Flomax
passed, and when I could no longer pee at all, I went to a urologist just before my kidneys shut down.)

Two week post SBRT update
I have not noticed any blood in the stool. 2) I have experienced urinary difficulty during and after the process where my RO recommended taking two 0.4 mg of Tamsulosin (
Flomax
) daily instead of just one. This seemed to help a little.
