Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Benign prostatic hyperplasia ( 42 Questions)
Increased 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.
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.
Decreased fluid intake may contribute to urinary stasis and an increased risk of UTIs, but it is not specific to BPH.
Reduced bladder capacity is not a contributing factor to recurrent UTIs in BPH.
