Bladder Outlet Obstruction
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When urinating becomes difficult or the flow feels blocked, having it checked in time helps to understand what is causing it. Bladder outlet obstruction is a blockage, total or partial, in the area where urine passes from the bladder into the urethra, which makes emptying difficult.
Frequent symptoms:
- A weak or interrupted urinary stream.
- Difficulty starting urination.
- A sensation of not completely emptying the bladder.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the one who studies this type of obstruction, and the nephrologist may get involved when there is an effect on the kidneys; the general practitioner provides guidance at the first visit. Faced with these symptoms, the advisable thing is to see a professional who can evaluate the case thoroughly.
