Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
"I have been reading comments, and felt the need to put in my 30 cents worth. I have been on Tamsulosin, at a dose of 0.08 per day, taking it religiously 30 minutes after my evening meal. I am 74 y.o. and already had a poor sex drive, and I do not miss that at all. What I care most about is the positive effects it has had on me. My urination problems started in 2001, when The VA did a procedure to blast stones from my bladder, and then there follow up with me was the worst I have ever had. I was using caths to urinate which helped quite a bit, but was uncomfortable. I was using caths every 8 hours. My doctor put me on the tamsulosin, and that was were I was at until about 4 months ago. They changed me to a smaller more comfortable cath."
