Hello Matteo MatteoC I am now the apprentice nerd on the group and did read the patient information leaflet for Tamsulosin - what I understand is: * It should be taken in the morning with food. * Insomnia is listed as one of the rarer side effects.

I?ve been taking Tamsulosin since July 2023 when I was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate. At the time I?d wake up in the night and had problems urinating.

Thank you Rob You're spot on the hospital which fitted the catheter intend to remove after 2 weeks - a week before RT ends. Given the early effects on my bladder that makes me nervous.

On the positive side tamsulosin helped to some extent (I'd guess 15% or so) with my urine flow. After a few months the ejaculation pattern changed to a mix of intermittent retrograde and antegrade (normal) although with low / very low volume of ejaculate. With full RE the quality of the sensation was a definite notch down from normal.
