Thanks for the question. I'm trying to figure everything out in advance. So you know this is an untried response. Tamsulosin reduces night time production of urine and radiation causes swelling; you may be needing gravity to overcome the the narrowing escape passages for the urine. I would try a different medication, maybe Flomax. I'm going to keep checking your post for better answers.

Thank you for the response. Flomax is the brand name for tamsulosin, so shouldn't need to switch?
