Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Benign prostatic hyperplasia ( 42 Questions)
Reduced urine output is not a contributing factor to recurrent UTIs. In BPH, the urinary flow is obstructed, leading to incomplete bladder emptying and residual urine in the bladder, which can increase the risk of UTIs.
Increased fluid intake is not directly related to the risk of recurrent UTIs in BPH.
Decreased prostate size is not associated with recurrent UTIs in BPH.
This is the correct answer. Residual urine in the bladder after voiding provides a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of UTIs. In BPH, the enlarged prostate obstructs the urethra, leading to incomplete bladder emptying and the presence of residual urine, which contributes to recurrent UTIs.
