"I've gotten lethargic a lot lately but not sure if it's the Tamsulosin build up. Tried stopping it but urine stream becomes spray like instead of tap flow" Been on Tamsulosin for at least 3 years. Could account for my lethargy. Even with them my urine flow is not good. A mixture of spray or dribble. | |||

The NHS is all but finished, we have a health care system where you get treatment if you pay or use the third world NHS and join a queue! The 1947 NHS started in the UK by a socialist government was a gold standard implimentation admired by the rest of the world!

" Back to the subject. I have taken it at bedtime for about three years. The only side effect I have is a reduction in the amount of semen I produce. Or is that as a result of getting older?" Might have an affect. Following an inguinal hernia repair I only had dry ejaculations for a long time. Coincided with first being prescribed these pills. Even now only produce a small amount of liquid which is more like pre-cum than actual cum. | |||

I have the same reduction in amount of seven sometimes none but still orgasm. Somewhat disconcerting. Now im more likely to give oral | |||

"Did I read something about retrograde ejaculation? Sounds like this medication could cause this. Your semen goes into your bladder rather than ejaculate. You might notice your wee is slightly cloudy when you next pee. " I have that problem. A few years ago, a treatment was carried out, on my prostrate, in hospital. They cored out my prostate, via my cock. Better flow of piss now, but result is, no sperm ejaculated. I still get the full sensation of cumming, but nothing comes out. I just have to accept that. | |||

". Neither true. The Tories [who actually drew up the blueprint for the NHS during WWII] have never tried to destroy or dismantle the NHS. Blair was more likely to do that. the tories, led by churchill, consisitently voted against the founding of the health service." It's what oppositions do. The blue print was drawn up by Henry Willink, a Conservative MP and health minister in the wartime cabinet. True not as extensive as the NHS created by the Attlee government. | |||

Where I live there is hardly any immigrants but it is still almost impossible to get doctors appointments. Also a lot of NHS staff are immigrants or of immigrant descent."How does this work then, i recently had a flyer from SAGA Insurance guaranteeing me prioity appointments with my GP and hospital appointments if i take out a health insurance policy with them! They blatantly guarantee you can jump the NHS queue if you pay them a subscription every month! So where did my health insurance policy go and 49 years subscriptions from myself and my employers? Private health care should be banned in the UK, everyone who has subscribed to the NHS rich or poor should have the same access based on medical need! Paying extra to queue jump should be made illegal... it just pushes someone poorer with a more pressing medical need further back down the queue! Disgraceful!!! | |||

"This thread seems to have been hijacked by political comments. Back to the subject. I have taken it at bedtime for about three years. The only side effect I have is a reduction in the amount of semen I produce. Or is that as a result of getting older?" Was getting a bit political, thanks for returning to case in point. I ve also got the reduction in semen. I m trying it just before bed, see if that time is better for working. Option i was given is Finistere and have been warned that in most men it kills the sexual side dead, so need to try and work out Tammy since I m already on it. Thanks for reply | |||

"If I stop tamsulosin one day, my blood pressure rises " Ah right. My blood pressure was never a problem but from what I can work out, its Tammy lowering blood pressure that is causing the work issues as my work is hard and physical and risky. | |||

"In double blind tests,it was shown Saw Palmetto capsules with stinging nettle capsules taken together were aa effective as Tamsolisin.. .I have Tamsolisin/ dutestaride tablet one day..then the herbal the next day..works for me... also shown to work are cranberry capsules,10,000 mg,and pygeum africanum,a capsules from a tree bark ( all on amazon).and just ordered some pumpkin seed oil capsules .. Pumpkin seeds were used by the Native Indians for enlarged prostrate centuries ago. Worst case scenario is as herbal,they dont have side effects and are natural products.. not drugs" Oh great, I m not a meds/Doctor person, my entire life is in and a part of nature so the herbal is something I ll look into. This is great, thank you | |||

"I've just had a text from Surgery stating that there are severe warnings for anyone on finasteride or dutasteride. Anyone else? " What are the warnings if you don t mind me asking.

"Been on Tamsulosin for about 3years now, after trying various others. After a few weeks noticed two things. All my body hair started to fall out. Left with hair my head (such as there is), reduced beard growth and pubic hair. Everywhere else, and I mean everywhere, has now disappeared, certainly not complaining at the results. Not even any round my nipples, armpits or cleft. Other thing is that my ejaculate started to reduce in volume. Plenty of precum and no difference at all in sensations etc but now when I orgasm I don't ejacualate anything. Feels a bit more girlie not to produce spunk and see it shoot out but regret not being able to give a guy a creamy mouthful. " Wow, not had the hair issue but like you, I d be quite happy with that. Sexually my cum has reduced but I don t pre cum at all, but I do have quite intense orgasms, probably the pressure of the switch over, throwing most of my cum out in my urinary system lol | |||

I ve never used meds of any kind in the past, hence no docs for decades but Im now that age where I can t sort myself out with some things." Your surgery is sending this message because the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued updated national drug safety alerts for finasteride and dutasteride.The MHRA took this action to ensure patients are fully informed about rare but serious mental health and sexual side effects, and understand exactly what to do if they experience them.Why Now?Following an extensive safety review, the MHRA mandated updates to the official product information and patient leaflets for these drugs.Psychiatric Risks: The warning that these drugs can cause depressed mood, depression, and, in rare cases, suicidal ideation has been clarified and strengthened. The agency specifically noted that these mental health symptoms can even persist after the medication has been stopped.Sexual Dysfunction: Warnings have been strengthened to note that sexual dysfunction (such as erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and ejaculation problems) may also persist after discontinuing treatment.Dutasteride Addition: A precautionary warning was added to dutasteride, as it is in the same class of medication as finasteride.Regulatory Updates: This guidance follows up on previous patient-card initiatives, prompting surgeries to directly notify patients.What the MHRA Advises You to DoFinasteride 1mg (for hair loss): If you develop depression or suicidal thoughts, stop taking the medication immediately and contact your doctor.Finasteride 5mg or Dutasteride (for prostate enlargement): If you develop depression or suicidal thoughts, contact your doctor right away.Sexual Dysfunction: If you experience a decreased sex drive, difficulty achieving an erection, or ejaculation issues, consult your doctor for medical advice.You can read the full official MHRA Drug Safety Update for complete details on the alerts. If you have any concerns regarding your prescription, you should contact your local GP surgery for a review. | |||

"I've just had a text from Surgery stating that there are severe warnings for anyone on finasteride or dutasteride. Anyone else? " Yes, I was on Dustasteride for a while and there are definitely unfortunate side effects. You'll need to pm me as I'm stopped from contacting you. Think outside your age range. | |||

". Neither true. The Tories [who actually drew up the blueprint for the NHS during WWII] have never tried to destroy or dismantle the NHS. Blair was more likely to do that. ....." Good point re Blair whose answer to earlier problems with the NHS was to give a blank cheque to contractors for 30 years, hence, in part, the current problems. Blair continues to provide us with solutions to everything off the top of his grinning deathmask, and his latest thoughts on the NHS involve a good deal of private treatment and a lot of AI. Coincidentally, the biggest donors to his lobbying scam, the Tony Blair Institute For Global Change, include AI megacorps: https://everydoctor.org.uk/talking-points/tech-giants-private-healthcare-and-the-tony-blair-institute-following-the-money/ ...and he's been punting AI for all he is worth for years. | |||

"Glad I found this, not the political hijacking but the information people are sharing. Been on Tamsulosin for a month now. Certainly helps with pee flow but can concur with other guys problems. Lower sex drive, fatigue, headaches, tiredness and of course no where near as much cum as before. Just getting repeat proscription and going to change when I take it. At moment breakfast but will change it to evening. Have to say "dry orgasm" ain't my idea of a happy endings but hey I've had a good run. Wanked to some porn the other day and end result was a clear sticky liquid seeping out my cock. And hardly any. Old age can be shite guys. Happy Fabbing" All the above here too, I ve been on it about 2 months, for some the side effects ease, but they haven't for me. That said, I ve just changed to 10.30 pm, or half hour before bed, and it seems a bit better. Mind you, I never pee d in the night til I started taking it, now I do. And my blood pressure was borderline low count and guess what? Tammy lowers blood pressure..can t bleddy win, but its my only option. Age is a true bitch, it brings all the wrong guests to the party lolol. | |||
