Doctors frequently prescribe Tamsulosin or Flomax for prostate issues.

And today in this newsletter I want to address some of the issues it causes.

And you may not be aware of these.

First, benign prostate hypertrophy, or BPH, affects huge numbers of men.

BPH has a few really uncomfortable effects.

You have to pee a lot.

You may not sleep through the night.

And you may be uncomfortable.

Since Big Pharma helps fund medical schools, they pretty much “help” to train doctors.

And the first thing they do when a man comes into the office complaining of BPH symptoms is prescribe something like Tamsulosin.

Tamsulosin works by blocking certain nerve impulses — this relaxes the prostate.

The relaxed prostate doesn’t restrict the urethra and bladder so much.

This reduces symptoms and makes the patient much more comfortable.

But the trouble is tamsulosin, and drugs like it, does not operate in a vacuum.

[cmamad id=”5249″ align=”center” tabid=”display-desktop” mobid=”display-desktop” stg=””]

These drugs have a lot of side effects based just on how they work.

And with Tamsulosin, one of the big side effects is that it interferes with ejaculatory function.

Today’s study looked into this particular problem.

The researchers gave both normal men and men with BPH Tamsulosin.

They also used a different drug that works the same way, Alfuzosin (Uroxatral).

The important thing here is NOT  that Alfuzosin is so wonderful, but that the negative impact of the tamsulosin is pretty striking.

So the researchers gave tamsulosin to rats and observed their ejaculations.

The rats couldn’t ejaculate very well after getting tamsulosin.

Systemic injection of tamsulosin impaired contractile capacity whereas alfuzosin did not. This might explain ejaculation problems in men treated with tamsulosin.

And it’s not just rats.

Men who were treated with tamsulosin had the same problem ejaculating.

Even on small doses of tamsulosin, normal men experienced vastly reduced ejaculation volume and ability.

Many became unable to ejaculate altogether.

Tamsulosin resulted in significantly decreased ejaculate volume.

And what’s worse, is about one-third of men on tamsulosin couldn’t ejaculate at all.

While on tamsulosin 35.4% had complete lack of ejaculation.

Yet doctors give this drug out routinely — they’ve done it for years.

And they’ve done it with the assurance that the drug is not going to cause PD or sexual problems for men.

And all the while, it’s been clear that it causes tremendous sexual problems for men.

But the patent expired in 2009, and now the drug companies are looking for other high-priced alternatives.

They will determine that those new alternatives do not cause ejaculation problems.

Big Pharma will find that they do not cause sexual problems —  but of course, they will be lying yet again.

We know they probably lied about Tamsulosin — and there’s more proof.

This Japanese study demonstrated quite conclusively that all of the alpha-1 blockers (including tamsulosin) reduce semen emission.

Decreased capacity of contraction of the seminal vesicles is proposed as the cause of the ejaculatory disorder induced by alpha-1 blockers.

Considering that ALL alpha-1 blockers all work the same way, we can safely assume that all of them have the same side effects.

The shame of it is that we’ve known for a long time what really causes benign prostate hypertrophy.

It’s a combination of high estrogen levels and often medium or higher testosterone levels.

But the estrogen is the main problem.

As a man ages, if his metabolism is declining, testosterone will often turn into estrogen.

And it’s these high estrogen levels in the aging body cause prostate inflammation.

It’s as simple as that.

If you reduce the estrogen in the man’s body, his prostate will often shrink to normal size.

He doesn’t need any of these terrible medications either.

The experimenters found that progesterone blocks the effects of testosterone and DHT.

It keeps them both from increasing the volume of the aging male prostate.

The best part is that progesterone is super safe.

But the problem is that drug companies can’t make money off of it.

Progesterone is not patented and is very cheap.

Progesterone may therefore prove to be a usefuL agent for the treatment of human BPH.

The first step is to avoid taking tamsulosin at all costs, don’t even let them prescribe a lower dose.

Even just 0.8 mg of Tamsulosin daily caused a decrease in ejaculatory function.

Almost 90% of the subjects suffered from a marked decrease in ejaculate volume.

And approximately 35% of the participants suffered from what they call anejaculation.

That’s an inability to ejaculate at all.

On the other hand, none of the subjects in the Alfuzosin group had to cope with ejaculation issues.

So you should talk to your doctor about Alfuzosin or another option.

But you need to refuse to take Tamsulosin, or you can kiss your sex life goodbye.
