Tamsulosin after prostate biopsy to improve urination
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving tamsulosin (a medicine that helps relax urine flow) around the time of a prostate biopsy can improve urination problems that sometimes happen after the biopsy. It may help you avoid discomfort and bladder issues after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man between 40 and 85 years old.
- You must be scheduled for a prostate biopsy because of an abnormal test or exam.
- You cannot have had prostate surgery or used a catheter (tube) to drain urine in the past.
- You cannot have taken certain blood pressure or prostate medications (like tamsulosin) within the week before the study.
- You must be free of major health issues like uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes, bleeding problems, or urinary infections.

This trial tests whether adding tadalafil to tamsulosin helps men pass a catheter removal test after a first-time urinary blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to find which treatment works best to avoid needing a catheter again.
This trial tests whether increasing your prostate medication (tamsulosin) or switching to a different medication (silodosin) helps you urinate normally again after a sudden blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to help you avoid long-term catheter use.
This Phase 2 study tests whether tryptophan is safe and can improve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (BPH). It focuses on men who have bothersome, stable symptoms and who would normally take tamsulosin.
This trial tests whether a medication called tamsulosin (commonly used for prostate problems) can help prevent trouble urinating after chest surgery. You may be eligible if you are at higher risk for this complication and have some urinary symptoms.
This study tests whether taking tadalafil (at 2.5 mg or 5 mg) along with tamsulosin is better for treating urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate than taking tamsulosin alone. It aims to find the best dose combination to improve your quality of life.
This trial studies whether tamsulosin can help drain the bladder when urine builds up after pelvic reconstructive surgery. It may help reduce the time and problems caused by “post-operative urinary retention.”
