Urinary Obstruction

Urinary obstruction occurs when the flow of urine is blocked at some point in the urinary tract, which includes the kidneys, bladder, and urethra. This blockage can be caused by various factors, such as kidney stones, tumors, or swelling from an infection. Symptoms may include pain, difficulty urinating, or frequent urges to urinate. If not treated, urinary obstruction can lead to serious complications, including kidney damage or infections. Treatment often involves addressing the underlying cause, such as removing stones or medication to reduce swelling.
