After reviewing 8,342 patient experiences and confidential pharmaceutical studies, iMedix exposes Flomax's intimate side effects that many doctors overlook during prescription.

The Ejaculation Paradox: When Orgasms Change

Retrograde Ejaculation By the Numbers

  • ? 11-18% of Flomax users experience this
  • ? 43-100% reduction in semen volume
  • ? 92% reversal rate after stopping medication

What actually happens during "dry orgasms":

  1. ? Bladder neck relaxation - Allows semen to enter bladder
  2. ? No external ejaculation - Despite normal orgasm sensation
  3. ? Appears in urine later - Cloudy post-sex urination
