Tamsulosin / flomax , Anyone taken this

Tamsulosin is prescribed to men with an enlarged prostate gland to help with the flow of urine.
Flomax is one of the brand names for Tamulosin.

I thought it was prescribed for benign prostate enlargement but please check with the GP.
I think an operation can be carried out to reduce the size of a benign enlarged prostate gland.

However, please ask someone medically qualified as my information is anecdotal only.
The GP should be sending blood samples for PSA screening.

I don't know what these medications are. However, my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2014. He had to undergo a prostate biopsy which wasn't very pleasant. However after 37 days of radiotherapy plus hormone injections, he has been in remission ever since.
