Patient's question:
Hello, does tamsulosin affect sexual function? For example, does long-term use of Harle affect sexual function, libido, and erection? Because after taking it, I couldn't get an erection, and sometimes I couldn't ejaculate, so I stopped taking it. Because of lower than nine years of urination difficulties, I have taken drugs such as Longqing tablets, Sheninton, Duoduo Hua, Weixikang, Longbishu, and Maizhilin. Except for Longqing tablets, which can relieve urinary hesitation and enhance urine volume, other drugs have no effect. Longqing tablets can relieve lower abdominal burning and residual urine, but long-term use can cause swelling of the soles and weak erection. On average, I urinate every 20 minutes. If I urinate promptly, there will be no residual urine. If I wait too long, it is easy to reappear. Each time, the maximum amount is about 100, which is strange. The ultrasound shows that the maximum bladder capacity is 400 milliliters, why can I only urinate about 100 each time? Is it because I can't empty it completely? But if I urinate promptly...Doctor's answer:
Based on your description and pictures, your condition may be caused by prostatitis. As for advice and treatment plans, it is important to maintain local hygiene, wear loose cotton underwear, and change your underwear and laundry frequently. Abstain from sexual activity and unhealthy habits during daily life. Engage in appropriate physical activity to enhance your physical fitness. It is best to visit a hospital for a check-up of prostatic fluid routine tests and color Doppler ultrasound to identify the cause and confirm the diagnosis, and then actively treat the condition. Male diseases can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used symptomatically, and patients should also maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke.
