Reduced Urine Flow – What Causes It?

People often will have a weak urine stream despite having a full bladder. This condition might be caused due to urinary obstruction that does not allow the urine to pass through its natural course. This condition is more common in older people in comparison with the younger population. This condition accounts for approximately 2% of new cases diagnosed in men. After kidney and urological disorders, it is the fourth most common problem in men and the sixth most in women.

Causes

 

The causes of reduced or weak urine flow might include and not limited to

Enlarged Prostate: It is mostly known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) which is more common in men as they get older. More than 10 million cases are registered in India every year. It is a condition wherein the urethra that carries the urine gets blocked by the enlarged prostate gland. The gland puts pressure on the urethra, not allowing it to empty the bladder completely.

Urethral Stricture: This a condition characterized by the development of scarring around the urethra that narrows or blocks the passage of the urine flow. The factors that might cause this condition include inflammation, injury to the penis, or infection. If not treated early, the scar tissues further narrows the urethra passage making it more difficult for the urine to pass through.

Urinary Tract Infection: It is the infection that mostly occurs in the lower urinary tract caused by the microorganism like bacteria.this condition is more common in women than in men. This condition can be easily treated with antibiotics if diagnosed during the early stages.

Kidney Failure: It is a condition in which the kidneys have stopped working and are unable to perform their activities. Exposure to toxins, dehydration, chronic diseases, kidney trauma are certain factors that contribute to kidney failure. If the condition is not treated immediately along with reducing urine flow, the body will get overloaded with toxins.

The condition requires an early diagnosis to identify and pinpoint the exact reason for the problem before it manifests into a life-threatening situation. The treatment for reduced urine flow will vary according to the underlying causes of the problem.

If you have noticed any changes in your urine flow, do not neglect the condition and immediately contact Dr.N. Anandan ar  ANANDAN'S UROLOGY CLINIC.

Difference Between Underactive And Overactive Bladder

Millions of people across the world face abnormal urinary conditions due to the lack of bladder control. Overactive bladder and underactive bladder are urinary symptoms that are related to abnormalities while peeing. The urinary symptoms are sometimes serious as it affects our personal and social life. These conditions can disrupt our sleep and sex life. Overactive bladder is commonly discussed but very less is known about the underactive bladder. Let us know more about both the conditions.

Overactive bladder vs Underactive bladder

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition that frequently creates an urge to urinate. Some people are unable to control the sudden urge for urination and suffer from urine leakage. People with these symptoms have the feeling of “gotta go” to the bathroom urgently.

Underactive bladder (UAB) is a condition in which a person is not able to empty the bladder completely. One may hesitate before urine flows or may need to put an effort to push urine out of the bladder. It may have serious consequences if left untreated.

Causes for overactive bladder and underactive bladder

Bladders get overactive due to the involuntary contraction of bladder muscles. Involuntary muscle contraction creates the urgent need to urinate even if the urine is low in the bladder. Other than that, several factors contribute to the cause of overactive bladder are:

• Neurological disorders such as stroke and sclerosis
• Diabetes
• Acute urinary tract infections
• Abnormalities in bladders such as stone formation or tumors
• Enlarged prostate
• Constipation
• Incomplete bladder emptying 

The cause of underactive bladder is not clear as it has multiple possibilities. It can occur due to any obstruction or can be a result of a sense of incomplete emptying of the bladder. There are several factors that are associated with underactive bladder syndrome.

• Damage to the peripheral nerve may eliminate the feeling of bladder filling and cause difficulty in emptying the bladder.
• Pelvic surgery
• Older age
• Vaginal prolapse
• Enlargement of prostate
• Certain spinal cord injury

Symptoms that should not be ignored

With an overactive bladder (OAB), a person may feel like

• Sudden urge to urinate which is uncontrollable
• Frequent urination i.e., more than 8 times in 24 hours
•  Wake up at night to pass urination 

The key symptom of a person having an Underactive Bladder (UAB) is strain while urinating and the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

Treatment for overactive and underactive bladder

One can manage overactive bladder (OAB) with treatments such as medications, bladder injections, nerve stimulation treatment, and surgery.

There is no complete cure for Underactive bladder (UAB), but there are some treatment options which slow down the disease. Medications and intermittent self-catheterization are the main treatments used to improve the condition and to limit the damage to the bladder and kidneys.
