Tamsulosin

Hi I am on active surveillance for localised prostate cancer and my psa level was 10.2 when diagnosed but has dropped to 7.7 and was wondering if this has anything to do with the medication I am taking .I was given tamsulosin to take to relax the bladder and have taken it for 4 months now

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    Whilst I can appreciate your question, I think this is something best discussed with your own doctor to get a better understanding about the reduction in your psa and if this is linked to the Tamsolulin..

    From my understanding Tamsolusin can sometimes lower the psa level in some men with an enlarged prostate, so I would discuss this with your doctor in regards to your situation and how this may affect the monitoring of your prostate cancer.

    All the best
