Rapaflo (silodosin) can cause nasal congestion. And the other side effect most probably looks like retrograde ejaculation; is also a side effect of this drug.
I would have changed the drug to another drug of same class like tamsulosin. Even after this, of the side effects remains, then would suggest surgical procedures for BPH.
Please do discuss the above points with your prescriber. How this helps. Thank you.
