BPE causing UTIs and vomiting

User

Hello all,


I’m new here so go easy on me!!  


Over the last four years I have suffering from repeat UTIs which cause terrible sickness and vomiting.  It is horrendous.  The GP prescribes Cefalexin antibiotics which quickly get on top of it but for 24-48 hours it is terrible.  Constantly wrenching and throwing up!!  

Does anyone else get this?  I was referred to a n urologist who did a flexible cystoscopy and he didn’t find anything wrong other than I have BPE.  He thinks the BPE is preventing me from properly emptying my bladder and this is what’s causing the UTIs.  It is unusual for blokes to get reoccurring UTIs.  I have now been prescribed Tamsulosin tablets which I take daily.


Does anyone else have any experience of this - UTIs resulting in sickness and vomiting?  Or is it just me?


Thanks for your help folks.


David.
