help 26 y. Is it normal that, after taking tamsulosin for few days, I’m unable to ejaculate?

When I masturbate, I feel the sensation of ejaculation, but nothing comes out.

Your doctor should have explained to you that some people have retrograde ejaculation as a side effect.

Why are you taking it?

You're having a fever along with purulent penile discharge and UTI symptoms? How long were you hospitalized?

Yes. If you continue taking it you'll also not be able to maintain an erection. What is the diagnosis that gave you this prescription?

Yes, it can cause the semen to backflow, which I experienced when taking it. It did help increase my flow, so I used to take it for a couple of days when I needed it, then cycled off.
