The study will be conducted as a randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled trial. This is a single center trial. The experimental design and procedure will be performed in accordance to the CONSORT guidelines. Patients will be assessed for eligibility, and selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Once eligible, informed consent will be obtained for every patient, and those in agreement to the participation of the trial will be randomly provided with pre-assigned sealed envelopes containing either tamsulosin or placebo, for which patient and investigators will be blinded to. Patients will then consume either oral tamsulosin 0.4mg or placebo daily for 5 days prior to elective surgery. A baseline postural blood pressure measurement will be taken before and after the 1st dose, and patients will be informed to look out for symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and orthostatic hypotension, and to cease consumption should they develop. Prior to surgery, the patients will require to report to the study team if they had finished all 5 drug doses. Patients who develop intercurrent illnesses or have urgent matters at hand that would require their surgery to be postponed will receive another 5 drug doses that is to be consumed prior the their next scheduled surgical date. During the surgery, a maximum dose of 0.1mg/kg of morphine can be given to patients. No ilioinguinal block will be performed for patients, but local anesthesia 10mls 0.5% Bupivacaine will be infiltrated into the wound sites. The patients will then be monitored in the 23 hour short stay ward, during which the patient's wound site, scrotum, pain levels and ability to pass urine will be assessed prior to being discharged. All patients will be provided with a maintenance drip post operatively. Patients will also be placed on paracetamol 1g 6 hourly strictly and tramadol 50mg 8 hourly as per required. Alternative analgesia will be provided should patients have existing allergies to these drug classes.
