Peri-operative Tamsulosin and Impact on Voiding Trial After Same-day Urogynecology Surgery

This intervention will investigate if tamsulosin will decrease postoperative urinary retention. Subjects will be directed to start taking the medication 5-7 days prior to their procedure; as previous studies have shown, this is when tamsulosin reaches its steady state. Patients will continue to take their assigned pills for 7 days postoperatively.

This intervention will ensure blinding and an accurate measure of the real effect of tamsulosin.
