Dry ejaculation

Tamulosin is prescribed for BNP benign enlargement of prostate. The drug I think restricts blood to the prostate in order to shrink it. By shrinking the prostate rthat will reduce the production of semen. So it is a vicious circle. I am sure Tamulosin effects the sensitivity of your sex organs, in its process of reducing the prostate. This is only my personal opinion, and is not based on medical knowledge. But much of the comments relating to this drug tell the same story. After leaving of t his drug for a few days I notice an inprovement in sexual performance.

Each person will experience different symptoms. Having a dry ejaculation does not mean the intensity is any less pleasurable in my experience and does not effect sexual performance. It does in my opinion hwoever seem to effect exercise performance and stamina.

I am in the same boat. I ended up in hospital because the passing of urine was extremely painful and little was passing out until one day the problem got worse and no more than a trickle of urine was passing. At the hospital I was put on a catheter and carry bag and finally I got some relief at fully empting the bladder. Then I stayed overnight to make sure things were going accordingly. Next day I got discharged with the catheter and the nuisance of limited movement but otherwise I was able to manage. However, I wasn't happy with the hospital because even though they are professional doctors they caused inflamation that bled blood through the tube and outside the uretha opening because they have falied to moisture the tube with lubricating jelly at each bit of tube insertion in the uretha and that caused a lot of pain because the tube was actually 'scraping' on the inflamated uretha. Then when they sent me home they did not provide me with medicines if that's what they though it was the enlarged prostate. So I was at home with the catheter for two weeks and not knowing whether it was really the prostate causing urinal blockage. After 2 weeks I returned to the hospital to have the catheter removed and see if I could pass using by drinking water and walk around inside the hospital. By the afternoon I still couldn't pass urine with ease. There was s this burning pain every time using pass passing a certain area near the uretha muscles that stops the urine from escaping. THe hot and acidy using was actually causing the muscle to lock and stop the urine from fully passing out without some straining and pain. I was bedded again and a doctor then reinserted the catheter again, and frankly enough it was the wrong size but I did not know, all I noticed later that the first one had a green band on the tube and the new one was orange. So, this larger one was causing more pain upon insertion because A) too thick, B) no lubrication at each insertion, only lubrication they did was before insterting the tip. The rest of the tube length was insterted without lubrication and that absolutely caused excruciating pain that I almost fainted if the stupid doctor (supposed to be a doctor mind you) didn't stop for a minute, or checked that he had inserted the wrong size tube. when done, the bleeding started to get worse and I was told this usually happens during this process. But then, it bled even during my hospital discharge, the bag was filling with blood and clots and for the next two days, more and less clots and traces of blood flowed from inside the tube and into the bag. Before sending me home I was given a medicine, Tamsulosin Hydrocloride, to take one a day after food, preferably after dinner for another two weeks. For two more weeks it was increasingly difficult in sleeping with the tube and the bag placed on the floor and in moving I was unable to walk far with a urine bag attached to one of my legs. After two more weeks, I returned to have it removed without results, they said the medicine wasn't working, so they started to suggest surgery, of which I refused because I really felt this is not a prostate problem, this has to be something else that I did not know at that time. As with all the other times that they removed the catheter and told me to hang around the hopital, walk, dring water and use the loo to try and pass water, it didn't work and when I needed to have the catheter back on once again, guess what? The hospital had no doctors, they went on holidays. I was told. So, in bloated pain and little urine passing through, I had to wait nearly 6 hours to have another catheter inserted and the only doctor available was a surgeon. Can you you imagine what it felt like during those waiting hours? When the surgeon finally arrived at the Ward, I painstakingly made it to a hospital's inspection chair, as there were no beds to lay on, and the surgeon inserted the correct coloured catheter, and he did it the correct way, slow insertion and lubricating the tube as he inched in to stop the scraping of the tube inside the uretha. This in turn caused no noticeable blood or clots, and I was happy with that. After these extra two weeks, I decided to tell the doctor that I have no intention to have the catheter removed, instead I asked the doctor to give me a further two week extention. The reason I did that was because the feeling to pass urine was so strong, I just relaxed the muscles and let it go in the toilet. The urine not only passed through the utheter but also outside the uretha. This was happening during the last two weeks, indicating that the prostate opening was expanding to allow urine to escape sideways along the side of the bubble of the catheter. When I returned back to the hospital, I told the doctor and a nurse then removed the catheter and told me to hang around and drink water. Amazingly, I was able to pass uring more and more each time I felt going to the toilet. The nurse scanned the bladder on each occasion until after 4 times, the remailing urine in the bladder was only 50ml. As soon as I was give the go ahead you're cured, I got out of hte hospital but, despite the rough treatment in catheter insertion, I will not go back, I will instead seeks a better diet and lots of exercises. But I was told to continue with the same medication for a while, then seek my GP for further tests. What I noticed during my release from hospital was the lack of ejaculation, from a drop or two and then not one drop. I became concerned and decided to have a discussion with my GP and he said that he need to do a blood and urine test. After the test he said that if my burning pain is lower than the prostate, then it is a Urinary Tract Infection. I was given one week of Antibiotics and one week without them. By the end of taking Antibiotics I felt a massive relief in urinating, just like a little boy urinating about 2 and half feet away. And I told the doctor this. Then the blood tests revealed that I have Type 2 Diabetes and was quite high. My GP prescribed another medicine, Metformin Hydrocloride to try and drop the high level. The when I returned after a week of taking this medicine the diabete level dropped considerably, all because I also changed diet, Oats and Porridge with Pumpkin seeds, Walnuts and crushed Brasilian nuts and Almond spread sparingly on the Oats in warm milk with a little honeys, soon after one Metoformin tablet. Then, for lunch, Union, garlic, beetroots and tuna or Salmon salad sandwich to begin with. And at dinner, the usual meal of wholemeal pasta and vegetables, lots of vegetables, not just a springle here and there. Add tomato sauce because tomato is great for your prostate as well as garlic and red onions. But, as for the problem with ejaculating, nothing comes out when in erected state. Once it goes limp, some 'juice comes out, not much, about half or a quarter of a tea spoon. In which case the doctor told me that is not cause of concern because the prostate medicine in combination with the diabete medicine results in slowing or stopping the production of sperm and liquid that carries them out. I will soon stop taking these medicines as I now have returned to good health and walk a lot, run a few hundreds of meters just to give the abdonomen a bit of shake, rattle and roll and to help strengthening the rectal and urinary tract muscles and burn calories to control the amount of glucose sugar in the blood and use it to feed the muscles that make us move. I was obese before going to hospital on that dreadful 18th December 2016. I am now 70 kilos and feel fit. So, if you have a problem passing urine and it burns like crazy, don't hesitate to seek you GP, or some doctor who specializes in the that area. You will be amazed what other options there are instead of going straight to the scalpel. Smoke, alcohol, sugary drinks and obesity can cause the least you didn't expect. But once you're done the damage, you wouldn't want to think of being cut up, wouldn't you? So, stay trim, eat natural foods and occasionally exercise. I wish you people with the same problem good luck.  Michael.

I have been taking Tamsulosin for 2 years and have experienced retrograde ejaculation from the start. The semen goes into the bladder and shows up when I pee. It is very annoying for me because it greatly reduces the sensation of  orgasm. I will have a PAE procedure soon and then stop taking the drug. Things should return to normal in a few weeks.
