The aim of this work is to compare between early (3days) and late(7days) removal of urinary catheter after acute urine retention in patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia under Tamsulosin treatment.
This is a prospective randomized study, Men with acute urinary retention secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia were catheterized and then, if they fulfilled the entry criteria, were randomly assigned to receive 0.4 mg tamsulosin hydrochloride for three days or seven days, After that the catheter was removed and the ability to void unaided assessed.
Exclusion Criteria:
30 patients will receive Tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.4 mg once daily and the catheter will be removed after 3 days.
Procedure: Early catheter removal
30 patients will receive Tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.4 mg once daily and the catheter will be removed after 7 days.
Procedure: Late catheter removal
Patients will receive selective alpha blocker ( tamsulosin 0.4mg ) once daily and the catheter will be removed after 3 days. After catheter removal, patients will be allowed to void and will be discharged home who will have a successful void more than 200 cc of urine. Patients who will fail to void will be re-catheterized and will be prepared for prostatectomy.
Also known as: After 3 days catheter removal
Patients will receive selective alpha blocker ( tamsulosin 0.4mg ) once daily and the catheter will be removed after 7 days. After catheter removal, patients will be allowed to void and will be discharged home who will have a successful void more than 200 cc of urine. Patients who will fail to void will be re-catheterized and will be prepared for prostatectomy.
Also known as: After 7 days catheter removal
