Brief Answer:
Problem during sex can be due to tamsulosin.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.

Flomax is having tamsulosin.
It can cause erectile dysfunction and problem during sex.
So better to consult your doctor about this side effect.
You may need to change tamsulosin.
Your itching of eyes and runny nose are mostly due to viral infection or it could be allergy. For these symptoms you need to take antihistamine drug. Drink plenty of fluids orally.

Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
