Hi,
From the history you have given you seem to be on treatment for enlarged prostate. Your query isn't clear. But I try to clear few things.
1. Flomax doesn't cause weight gain and its not reason for frequent urination.
2. If you have prostate enlargement and you are on flomax for its treatment. You can take medications that reduce size of prostate along with flomax which just relieves pressure by prostate but cant reduce its size.
3. If you have prostate so big to treat by medication you may need to go for surgery.
4. If you don't have prostate problem, you need to check for other causes of frequent urination like diabetes and bladder infection.
I hope you got some facts and at least some doubts got clarified. Let me k now if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar
