First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether tamsulosin, a drug often used for men with prostate problems, can shorten the time women need a catheter after pelvic reconstructive surgery. About 154 women who have trouble emptying their bladder after surgery will receive either tamsulosin or a placebo. The goal is to see if the drug helps them regain normal urination faster and reduces infections.
