    I take the maximum dose of flomax and retrograde ejaculation is a side effect of it. I was told its really not that bad for you it's just going to come out in your urine which doesn't really bother me. If you're not looking to have a family in the near future then I wouldn't worry about it. I would just bring it up to your GP and maybe a urologist if you want a specialist to answer your question because it shouldn't happen normally for no reason. Is there any reason that you think it might have suddenly come on?

      Good afternoon Inn  All doctor will tell you it no big deal but not all men are the same.  They are only telling you that because that is what they learn in school.  All men have a orgasm and a ejaculation but not all men have the same orgasm or ejaculation I was on Flomax & Rapaflo.  It sucked.  The built up was there but when the orgasm hit.  It went flat.  I felt nothing. Being I still had a erection I know I did something.  I called my doctor and stopped the pills and had the Urolift 3 weeks later.   That is going on 4 years.   I'm 63 and just because I'm not having kids does not mean I want to stop my ejaculation.  It goes with my orgasm.

    I recently had a HOLEP and I have RE. The great thing for me is my BPH is cured. The RE gives me a slightly longer more intense orgasm, I just go with the flow (without any flow if you get my drift) and enjoy it. It saves on tissues and I am just relieved I don't have ED, so is my partner, who hasn't really noticed the difference.

    Hope that helps.

      One of the things my wife hated about sex when I was on Flowmax was my dry orgasm. You would think it wouldn't be that way but it was. Others here have had their SO say the same thing

      It doesn't bother my partner. I think it depends on the couple. The key thing for me, is I can pee again without 20 trips to the bathroom and nothing coming out. The many trips during the night, again struggling to pee. For me RE is a minor issue for me and my partner. We all pick our own procedure and hopefully know the full impact on our bodies before we have the procedure.

      That's a good point. There is always a trade ooff. Being able to get a restful night sleep is very important. If you can't sleep, you don't have the energy for sex anyway.
