Perioperative Tamsulosin for Treating Voiding Dysfunction Following Prostate Biopsy
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug Tamsulosin Hydrochloride works to treat urination difficulties after a prostate biopsy in men.The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Tamsulosin Hydrochloride lower the rate of Acute Urinary Retention (inability to urinate) after a prostate biopsy? * Does Tamsulosin Hydrochloride improve participants' urination symptoms, quality of life, urine flow rate, and post-void residual urine volume? Researchers will compare the drug group to a control group (receiving no preventive medication) to see if Tamsulosin Hydrochloride works to prevent urination problems. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either take Tamsulosin Hydrochloride or receive no preventive medication. * If in the drug group, take one capsule of Tamsulosin Hydrochloride every night, starting 3 days before the biopsy and continuing until 6 days after the biopsy (10 doses total). * Undergo a standard prostate biopsy procedure (either through the rectum or perineum). * Return to the clinic 7 days after the biopsy for a follow-up checkup, which will include questions about their symptoms (IPSS and QoL scores) and tests to measure urine flow and bladder emptying.
