My doctor just put me on Tamsulosin for an elarged prostrate. I told him that I had found that taking Ibuprophen helps considerable with the urge to urinate often. He said Ibuprophen wouldn t help at all and I argued with him about how I had used it for over 3 years with great results. I only took it though, before work or before going somewhere. What do you say? Am I better off taking the Tamsulosin, which I d rather not take, if I don t have to.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, you should take tamsulosin. It is better to take it than ibuprofen. Tamsulosisn is alpha blocker Chat Doctor.  It also helps in urine flow. So seeing its prostate benefits you should take it rather than ibuprofen. Ibuprofen only helps in pain. It has no effect on urine flow and size prevention. So better option is tamsulosin. Also check the regular PSA value in serum. Increase in much higher value is suggestive of carcinoma of prostate and should be dealt accordingly. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
