Brief Answer:
Should find the primary cause first...
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I am sorry for the health problems you are going through.
You say to have problems passing urine. The very first thing to do in such cases is to determine the cause.
Have you conducted any lab test so far? Can you pass the results to me?
Since when you started to have such problems?
Flomax is a alpha blocker (tamsulosin) that will relax the muscles of bladder neck. In this way, you'll find easily to pass the urine.
However, finding the primary cause and treating adequately will give permanent solution to your urinary problems.
