For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "My urine flow improved within just a few hours after the first dose. However, although I have somewhat of a climax during sex, there is no ejaculation, just totally dry, a weird feeling. Also, after a couple of days, I noticed nasal congestion. This is my first medication for BPH, so I must decide if the treatment is worse than the cure. One thing for sure, this could be the first real male contraceptive to hit the market!"

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Difficulty urinating. Given a sample of Rapaflo by my urologist and warned about possible side effects - no ejaculation. Have been experiencing mucus and coughing and learned that this may be another side effect. Flow is much better and if you can get over the need to ejaculate, the medicine seems to achieve required results. Used Flomax for a kidney stone in the past with success but only short term. One incident of bladder infection which was treated with Cipro by my family doctor. Any idea what to do about the stuffiness or must I live with it? Also on Lipitor and blood pressure lowering medicines (cautioned the Rapaflo in conjunction with it might cause dizziness but it hasn't yet)."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Have benign prostatic hyperplasia and tried Rapaflo for two weeks. For me, there were too many side effects to continue any longer. Here they are, starting with the most annoying: no orgasm-was completely unable to reach orgasm after the first dose; throat swelled up and had a hard time swallowing; nasal congestion; blurry vision; earache; jaw ache; increased inflammation."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Seemed to work for about two and a half weeks, then wore off and symptoms returned. I would have had to stop taking it anyway due to unbelievable nasal congestion. Tried to stick with it for three more weeks, but since I could not breathe through my nose, I had trouble with sleep also. Also, no sperm at all. Two weeks after stopping, still some nasal congestion."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Reduction in urination frequency has been a welcome effect, however, retrograde ejaculation and congestion have been unwelcome side effects."
