I am 78 and also thinking about Urolift or similar procedure. I've been taking a generic Flomax (Tamsulosin) for many years for problems emptying my bladder. I too would get up 3+ times a night for bathroom trips even after starting on the Tamsulosin. Then by chance, I had switched pharmacies and when I refilled the RX, the pharmacist went over the medication and told me it should be taken in the evening. All along I had been taking it in the morning with my blood pressure meds. Now I usually only have to get up once at night for a bathroom trip.
