I am 50, and I have just been diagnosed with BPH. My father was diagnosed at 50, as well. He now is 72. Anyway, I was precribed FlowMax for medication. My dad, however, has been using doxazosin since his diagnosis. He has suffered no side effects, especially those related to retrograde ejaculation. I want the better medication, but would prefer the dug that yields the same basic result without this siginifcant effect. Is doxazosin the way to go? What is the real difference between the two?
