Rapaflo/Silodisin for BPH?

Never heard of it. I have BPH and my current and prior Uro's never mentioned this drug. I will ask my next appointment what the seal is...
 
My Urologist has bph and he uses Rapaflo himself. He says its a wonder drug for him and he calls it “ surgery in a pill”.
Its the same type of drug as Flomax but its newer and a i guess stronger.
 
Rapaflo is newer and directly affects the prostate.
The older meds such as condura are more systemic and affect the whole body. Rapaflo, flomax, and uroxatrol are prostate specific.
 
In this study, to was shown that seminal emission was radically reduced/eliminated for those patients taking Rapaflo. Orgasm was left intact.

Orgasm is preserved regardless of ejaculatory dysfunction with selective α1A-blocker administration

All participants on silodosin had a complete lack of seminal emission and expulsion of semen from the urethra (semen volume at baseline: 2. 9±1.3 ml, and after silodosin administration: 0 ml, P<0.001) (Figure 2). On the other hand, there was no significant change in ejaculation with placebo administration in any participant (semen volume at baseline: 3.0±1.5 ml, and after placebo administration: 2.8±1.1 ml, P=0.346). There were no sperms in urine after ejaculation under silodosin administration in any participant.”

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
