Trouble Urinating
Experiencing the sensation of needing to urinate but being unable to do so can be quite distressing. It can lead to urinary hesitancy and, in severe cases, a complete blockage of the urethra, making it nearly impossible for urine to pass. As mentioned previously, having difficulty emptying the bladder can create an environment for bacteria to accumulate and potentially cause an infection.
Understanding Bladder Outlet Obstruction
Bladder outlet obstruction refers to a condition where there is a blockage either at the base or the neck of the bladder. This blockage can lead to a buildup of urine in the system. In order to alleviate this condition, treatment options generally involve the use of a catheter or, in more severe cases, surgical intervention.
