Explanation

Benign bladder neck obstruction is a medical condition where the flow of urine from the bladder to the urethra is blocked. This blockage is not caused by cancer or any other serious disease, which is what 'benign' means. It can make it difficult for a person to urinate and can cause other uncomfortable symptoms. The exact cause can vary, but it often happens due to an enlarged prostate in men or bladder muscle problems in both men and women.
