While none of the scenarios proves that your loved one has male urinary symptoms due to BPH, any one of them could be an indication. You might want to talk with him about what's going on. It is probably a good idea to introduce the topic gently. Like many men, he may be embarrassed to talk about it, thinking he can just deal with it on his own. Maybe he thinks it will just go away. But down the road, once he realizes how easy it is to get treatment, he will probably thank you. See how that initial conversation might go.
Important Safety Information
Only your doctor can tell if you have BPH, not a more serious condition
like prostate cancer. Avoid driving or hazardous tasks for 12 hours after
your first dose or increase in dose, as a sudden drop in blood pressure
may occur, rarely resulting in fainting. If considering cataract surgery,
tell your eye surgeon you’ve taken FLOMAX. Common side effects are
runny nose, dizziness and decrease in semen.
Before taking FLOMAX capsules, please see the full Prescribing Information and Patient Information.
