Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction
Lower urinary tract obstruction is a condition in which the normal flow of urine from the bladder is blocked. This blockage can lead to discomfort, frequent swelling of the bladder, and in some cases, an inability to pass urine. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the obstruction. Lower urinary tract obstruction can be caused by a variety of factors, including bladder stones, tumors, and certain medications. Treatment often involves medication to relax the bladder muscles, or in more severe cases, surgery to remove the obstruction. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to prevent long-term damage to the urinary tract and kidneys.
