Talking with your loved one about male urinary symptoms |
|
Not surprisingly, it's not easy to talk about your male urinary symptoms with a loved one. However, it's important to do so. Where do you start? Here.
If you are experiencing male urinary symptoms, others may notice too. Frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom may disturb your sleeping partner, and your inability to sit through a concert or sporting event may cause them concern. They may feel uncomfortable bringing up the subject, so it is important to acknowledge your symptoms and make an appointment to see your doctor. Only your doctor can tell if you have BPH, not a more serious condition like prostate cancer. If you are diagnosed with BPH, reassure your partner with the information that BPH is a very common condition and, in most cases, can be easily treated.

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.
