First let me say that he didn't like taking medication if he didn't absolutely have to.
He had been diagnosed with BPH, as many older men are, and was prescribed FloMax.
His question to his doctor was simple; what percentage of men (how likely is it) that BPH results in complete inability to urinate?
His doctor was unable to give him a clear answer, and I knew the moment he asked me the same question that he wasn't going to take his meds unless it was absolutely necessary, and who can blame him with everything he was already taking?
I read a bit, and told him about possible bladder damage, but he was undeterred.
Anyone know how to find these statistics?
I feel like it's coming for me at some point, so I might as well get the answers now.

tamsulosin is a very effective drug and provide relief for his symptoms. does he have luts ....lower urinary tract symptoms? it will only progress worse causing retention leading to stones and utis. aging is a part of life and medicine helps us not suffer. everything has a side effect.
