   My husband is Type 1 diabetic and was also recently diagnosed with an enlarged prostate. Diabetes affects blood pressure - raising it, and it may in some men cause erectile dysfunction. Tamsulosin Hydrochloride was prescribed and my husband has taken it for approximately 2 - 3 months. I can report that his urine flow has increased significantly but he does not produce semen when ejaculating, something he has been oblivious to and it is only me who has noticed it. Failure to produce semen is not listed as a side affect to the drug and I feel it is of low incidence and has therefore gone unreported. This failure presents no problem to my husband or me presently and only if it does will he report it to his GP. May I respectfully suggest to those men who find it problematical that they tell their doctors who will a) explain the possible cause of the side effect; b) change the medication or c) give reassurance that this will not affect their sexual performance.

   I started taking Tamsulosin Hydrochloride and after 12 days experienced dry ejaculation, You are right, my wife did not notice it as we were using KY jelly and it was wet, but i could feel that i did not spill. It was not a good feeling. My doctor told me this will happen along with other side effects such as dizziness, nausea which i have been experiencing.

   I have stopped taking this tablets and feel the dizziness is gone. I have not tried to ejaculate as they effect of the tabs might last for some time. I will post the expereince once I try.

   Just for your information, i read on the net that Keagal exercises will help to strengthen the prostrate and i have started doing it. The effect will only be know after few weeks.

   I will investigate to see if there is any alternate medication to help with my problem.

   How about your husband...did he get any relief or is he still using this tabs. How are you copinng with the dry ejaculation

   please share your experiences.

   I was prescribed Tamsulosin Hydrochloride By my GP for an enlarged prostate 6 weeks ago. She told me that in her experience no patients she had prescribed this drug for had experienced any side effects.After taking it for about 2 weeks I also noticed very little semen being ejaculated and then followed by dry ejaculation which felt unsatisfactory. I also experienced a somewhat stuffy nose when in bed at night. After taking the drug for 5 weeks I was still having to get up at night 3 or 4 times to urinate which was the same as before I took this drug. I decided to stop taking the drug and after a week or so my ejaculation of semen returned to normal.

   Talking to a friend who has the same prostate problem he told me he has been taking a supplement called Prostate Gold and that now he only ever gets up once a night to urinate and sometimes not at all. So I have ordered a supply and will write on here my experience of this supplement after 4 to 6 weeks of taking it.
