Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been taking Androgel for low Testosterone levels and now getting obstructive voiding symptoms .

This is most likely to be due to enlarged prostate which could be already there and aggravated due to taking testosterone which causes increase in size of prostate .

Please discontinue taking Androgel and observe for any improvement in your symptoms .
Continue taking Flomax as advised by your family Physician.
