anyone who has or had Flomax?

Question by r e t: anyone who has or had Flomax?
My husband just did physical exam after maybe several years ago. He’s 36. He claims that he has frequent urinary. The physical exam resulted that his prostate is little higher by 3 points. The doctor prescribed Flomax and gave some sample.
He does have frequent urinary, but he drinks water a lot. I mean A LOT!! He doesn’t smoke and he doesn’t drink alcohol.
Before we buy that prescription, I want to do some research. I found that this med is expensive and could have bad side effect.
I don’t really want my husband to take that med. Can anyone suggest or knows on what level is prostate need serious treatment? I’d rather put him on diet or alternative herb or something.
Thanks!
he drinks a lot of water, i mean a lot is a beer mug full of water. he can drinks two of those after meal. and he only drinks cold water. in one day maybe he drinks around 6-10 glass of beer mug. if we go out eating in restaurant at least he asks three times for refill.
what i’m worry is the side affect of reducing the production of semen since we’re trying to have a baby.
i just asked a copy of blood test says the PSA, TOTAL 1.9

well, it’s not the frequent urinary problem so much as it is having the urge to go and having to ‘force’ it out. That indicates a swollen prostate. And you don’t say if he has the ‘forcing’ issue.

His PSA is up a little. The doctor is being cautious. There are side effects, for sure, among them sexual side effects. You’ve done your homework. I would discuss this with your husband, and both of you head back to the doctor for a consultation about any alternative treatments. But also understand that Flomax may be the best treatment.
