Bladder outlet obstruction can be identified during routine prenatal ultrasonography as dilation of the fetal urinary tract [3] and decreased amniotic fluid levels. If dilation of the fetal urinary tract is suspected during pregnancy, an ultrasound of the infant's kidneys and bladder should be obtained after birth.
It is the most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction in male newborns. The disorder varies in degree, with mild cases presenting late due to milder symptoms. More severe cases can have renal and respiratory failure from lung underdevelopment as result of low amniotic fluid volumes, requiring intensive care and close monitoring. [2]
Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) can be caused by BPH. [19] Symptoms are abdominal pain, a continuous feeling of a full bladder, frequent urination, acute urinary retention (inability to urinate), pain during urination (dysuria), problems starting urination (urinary hesitancy), slow urine flow, starting and stopping (urinary intermittency), and ...
Indications for removal of the prostate in a benign setting include acute urinary retention, recurrent urinary tract infections, uncontrollable hematuria, bladder stones secondary to bladder outlet obstruction, significant symptoms from bladder outlet obstruction that are refractory to medical or minimally invasive therapy, and chronic kidney disease secondary to chronic bladder outlet ...
In contrast, 70% of the patients with the pre-surgery test result "No Obstruction" had a non-successful surgery outcome. [29] [27] If BPH with obstruction additionally presents with overactive bladder (OAB), which is the case in about 50% of patients, [30] this latter symptom (OAB) persists even post-surgery in about 20% of patients. However ...
Without diagnostic evaluation, the cause of underactive bladder is unclear, as there are multiple possible causes. UAB symptoms can accurately reflect impaired bladder emptying due either to DU or obstruction (normal or large storage volumes, elevated post-void residual volume), or can result from a sense of incomplete emptying of a hypersensitive bladder (small storage volumes, normal or ...
Urinary bladder disease includes urinary bladder inflammation such as cystitis, bladder rupture and bladder obstruction (tamponade).Cystitis is common, sometimes referred to as urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by bacteria, bladder rupture occurs when the bladder is overfilled and not emptied while bladder tamponade is a result of blood clot formation near the bladder outlet.
Ablation procedures – used in treating both bladder tumours [22] and bladder outlet obstruction, such as prostate conditions. [23] Bladder-neck incision (BNI) Removal of the prostate – open, robotic, and endoscopic techniques are used. Stenting of the prostate [24] and urethra. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
