Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Upon diagnosis of POUR, women will be offered participation in the study. Once consent is obtained, women will be randomized to tamsulosin 0.4 mg or matching placebo capsules to be used daily until resolution of POUR or a 10 day course, whichever occurs first.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Tamsulosin
10 capsules will be distributed to subjects to be taken daily. Each capsule contains 0.4mg of Tamsulosin. Subjects will take the capsule once daily until the end of the 10 day course or until the resolution of acute postoperative urinary retention.
Both study drug and placebo will appear identical and will be prepared by the pharmacy.
Tamsulosin
Study drug will contain 0.4 mg of Tamsulosin. Subjects will be provided with 10 capsules to be taken daily.
Placebo
10 capsules will be distributed to subjects to be taken daily. Subjects will take the capsule once daily until the end of the 10 day course or until the resolution of acute postoperative urinary retention.
Both study drug and placebo will appear identical and will be prepared by the pharmacy.
Placebo
Placebo will be prepared by the IDS pharmacist (or contracted pharmacy) and encapsulated in identical appearing wraps. Subjects will be provided with 10 capsules to be taken daily.
