Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Primary Change in baseline score on the American Urological Association Symptom Index [Time Frame: 12 weeks ] The primary safety variable for this clinical trial is to compare the safety and tolerability of Silodosin with the placebo. The number of adverse events in each arm will be documented to evaluate the safety profile of silodosin.   12 weeks 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Change in baseline urine flow rate [Time Frame: 12 weeks ] ? Change in prostate-specfic antigen [Time Frame: 12 weeks ] This includes clinical laboratory tests (hematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis), physical examinations, vital signs (body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure), and 12-lead electrocardiograms. The clinical laboratory tests (complete blood count, electrolytes, serum lipids, kidney function, pancreatic enzymes, aminotransferases, y-glutamyltransferase, and alkaline phosphatase) will be performed by a central laboratory at the time of screening and at the time of completion of the study.   12 weeks
