About this Condition

Bladder obstruction is a condition where the urine flow from bladder to urethra is reduced or completely blocked.

In men, this is often linked to prostate hyperplasia.

Other common causes include stricture, scarring, and bladder stones.

If the cause is not treated the obstruction may lead to other bladder or kidney problems.
