Ejaculation issue

by kesohombre, Oct 28, 2007 06:39PM
I am 60.  I have been on Avodart (dutasteride) for two years now after BPH diagnosis (PSA 3.5).  When I orgasm, I only dribble semen.  Recently, I have began pushing behind and under scrotum during orgasm and when I do this I shoot copious amounts of semen.  

What is causing this?  My recent PSA was 2.4 and Dr said prostate growth is being stopped by Avodart.  Shouldn't I be able to ejaculate forcefully... or is this one of the recognized side effects of Avodart?  

Avodart has helped greatly with frequent night urination.  I'm down to one trip per night normally.  Thanks for any comment.

The enlarged prostate blocks the outflow of semen, and when you push on the area between scrotum and anus, you increase the pressure so it comes out more forcefully.

As the prostate shrinks it should improve.  Ask your doc.

Do we have any idea how long it will take to shrink the prostate?  I've been on Avodart for two years.  Will shrinkage continue further?  Thanks.
