male voiding dysfunction
Male voiding dysfunction refers to difficulties in starting or maintaining urination, or emptying the bladder completely. It can result from nerve problems, prostate issues, or weakening of bladder muscles, leading to symptoms like weak stream, frequent urination, or feeling unable to fully empty the bladder. This condition may cause discomfort, urinary retention, or increased risk of infections. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exams, and tests like uroflowmetry or ultrasound. Treatment varies with the cause and may include medications, lifestyle changes, or procedures to improve bladder emptying and reduce symptoms.
