How to treat decreased semen volume after Consistam D?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 46-year-old male. I was diagnosed with prostatomegaly (enlarged prostate, 0.8 ounce) with significant post void urine volume (86 ml). The doctor prescribed Consistam D once daily. After taking for 40 days, the urge to urination reduced but semen volume and pleasure in sex drastically reduced. Please suggest any remedial measures.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I think 0.8 ounce prostate is not very enlarged. These sexual symptoms are due to Dutasteride. I suggest you take the tablet Tamsulosin. Semen volume is low because of Tamsulosin but that is not a problem (it is called retrograde ejaculation which occurs because of Tamsulosin). There is no harm. So stop taking the tablet and take only Tamsulosin 0.4 mg. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take medications with their consent.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
