Bladder Outflow Obstruction Management
Bladder outflow obstruction (BOO) is a condition that reduces or stops the flow of urine from the bladder into the urethra and out of the body. It can be caused by various factors such as enlarged prostate, bladder stones, or weakened bladder muscles. Men are more likely to experience BOO, especially as they age.
The Urology experts at AKUH offer comprehensive service for the diagnosis and treatment of BOO. Our team of experienced urologists uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify the cause of your obstruction and develop a personalised treatment plan.
Conditions We Treat
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - enlargement of the prostate gland.
- Urethral strictures - narrowing of the urethra.
