Understanding UTI and Renal Issues

This document summarizes the pathophysiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It outlines that the genitourinary system, particularly the prostate gland, can be affected by age, sex hormones, and other factors which cause the prostate to compress the urethra. This obstruction of the urethra results in an overdistended bladder, urinary retention, and dilated kidneys. The clinical manifestations include symptoms like oliguria, dribbling urine, nocturia, and difficulty voiding. Laboratory and radiological findings can help diagnose BPH.
