Transurethral resection of the prostate is a surgery used to treat urinary problem due to enlarged prostate.

In an antro-posterior view, the gland lies with its long axis parallel to the anterior rectal wall. It is bordered superiorly by the bladder (ventrally) and the seminal vesicles (dorsally), and inferiorly by the urogenital diaphragm (Jung and Westphalen, 2012). The prostate is separated from…
almost the size of a walnut and is located in the front side of the rectum, and in the center of the penis and the bladder. This is the passage way for urine to leave the body. Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) is a disease where there is an unbalanced growth of apoptosis and cells, which can be chronic, resulting from an abrasion in the prostate gland. BPH is the expansion of the prostate which may be a result of an attack on the neck of the bladder or the lumen of the urethra which may cause a…

The urinalysis is likely to also check for molecules that promote the growth of bacteria, as well as monomers that specific strains of bacteria shed when they begin replicating inside a new host cell. Depending on the symptoms of the patient further tests and data collection may be required. If the infection were to spread to the kidneys it could cause Kidney failure and ultimately death. An ultrasound examination can be used to check for inflammation of the kidneys and bladder. There are…
Women of all ages suffer from various types of bladder problems, which vary as to cause and contributing factors.
