Summary
This study looks at men over 50 with an enlarged prostate who had a sudden inability to urinate and needed a catheter. All were already taking tamsulosin 0.4 mg daily. The trial compares three options over 7 days: staying on the same dose, doubling it, or switching to silodosin. The goal is to see which strategy most helps men urinate successfully after the catheter is removed.
