Complications of Prostate disease
In benign prostate enlargement:
- Sometimes ‘acute retention’ occurs where there is a sudden total blockage of urine. Emergency treatment is needed.
- Sometimes ‘chronic retention’ occurs where there is partial emptying of the bladder. Some urine remains in the bladder all the time, this may lead to recurring urine infections or incontinence.
