Confused about BPH......

Hi, I am a 33 year old male who has suffered from frequent urination since I was a teen. I also experience a feeling of always having a full bladder and difficulty begining urination when I need to go. I have always asssumed that this was "normal" but over the years my wife has made many comments on my need to urinate frequently.
Recently I went to a Urologist to arrange for a vasectomy, and durring routine questioning the Dr. felt that I had a problem and needed further examination. I went through a series of tests...blood workup, ultrasound, Xrays and a painfull proceedure where a tube was inserted into my penis (I don't know the medical terminology) At any rate, I was put on Flomax and told that I would need to be on this for the rest of my life! I was also placed on antibiotics for 6 weeks.......My problems are:
1. This Dr is very vague and does not welcome any of my questions. He said my prostate is enlarged, but also mentioned a (congenital) narrow bladder neck. Are these two problems related?
2. Since taking the Flomax, my ejaculation was initially very watery in consistancy and is now "dry". That is, almost no fluid at all. I also feel a decreice in sexual desire. My Dr. had told me that I kwould not have any sexual dysfuntion due to the Flomax.
HELP!!!! I am a young man, and I don't knopw what to do.....I need to find a better Dr. but I am confused!!!!!!!!!
