Having some urine left in the bladder while taking Urimax (tamsulosin) is common but does require a doctor's evaluation. It doesn?t automatically mean he needs surgery. Sometimes, adjusting his medication or adding another prostate medicine can help. However, because incomplete emptying can lead to bladder infections or kidney strain, it is best to consult his urologist. They can measure the remaining urine with a quick, painless ultrasound and discuss the safest, most comfortable next steps for him.
