Bladder outflow obstruction
View through CrossRef
Bladder outflow obstruction (BOO) may occur due to several underlying causes in both men and women. It is not possible to diagnose bladder outlet obstruction on a history alone. It can be suspected based on the use of a flow rate but can only be diagnosed using pressure flow urodynamics. In this chapter, we discuss the aetiology, pathophysiology, and investigation of BOO. We emphasize the importance of a complete history, examination, and investigations with investigations such as flow rate and voiding cystometry, in addition to standard tests including urinalysis and a bladder diary. The management of the underlying disorder responsible for the BOO symptoms is discussed in the relevant chapters separately.
