I think i'm relatively young (29) however I was/am having problems emptying my bladder when urinating. Basically I finish and then a few minutes later some urine is still dribbling. My doctor gave me samples of flomax about a week ago. Recently i've been noticing my erections are awful and orgasm is weak. I checked this message board to see if anyone else was having the same problem. Not sure whether I should keep taking this or switch to uroxatral, another drug that i've taken in the past to stop the dribbling

Taking Flomax for five weeks now. Had symptoms of "peeing through a straw". Doc gave me Flomax samples until I see a Urologist (next week). Flow has improved. I sense a little "seepage" from penis and have practiced Kegel exercises to control the pelvic muscle. None of the side effects as others have listed except for vivid dreams that I didn't use to have or couldn't remember. Erections are OK but semen is very little to none. I'm getting a list of questions ready for the urologist visit.

I wasn't sure until I ran across this site, but flomax has seemed to retard both erections and ejaculate. I will stop flomax today. Joel

I am a 51 yr old male. Although Flomax took care of my problem of stop and go urination, it gave me continuous nasal congestion even after 1 month of taking it. I would also awake with erections every morning nnd over sensitivity of the penis.

I've been on flomax for about a year (possibly 2, I forget). After 2 weeks it improved the ability to urinate and decreased needed trips in the night. Definitely decreases semen volume, but definitely does not decrease libido in me, nor decrease firmness of erections. Makes ejaculation more difficult (although that could have another cause as well, frequency of ejaculates). I take 1 per day. Would like to have quicker, not less quick, climax/ejaculation events, but the drug helps with the enlarged prostate-caused urine problems. Age 64.
