Bladder-neck obstruction - what does this mean
Bladder-neck obstruction occurs when the opening of the bladder to the urethra is narrowed or blocked, preventing urine from flowing out of the bladder. this can be caused by an enlarged prostate, a tumor, or a congenital defect. it can lead to difficulty urinating, frequent urinary tract infections, and even kidney damage if left untreated.
What happens during the disease - bladder-neck obstruction
Bladder-neck obstruction is caused by a narrowing or blockage of the bladder's outlet, the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. this narrowing can be caused by an enlarged prostate, a tumor, or scarring due to pelvic surgery or radiation therapy. the obstruction prevents urine from leaving the bladder, causing it to become overly full and eventually leading to urinary retention, urinary tract infections, and sometimes even kidney damage.
