The term "urinary obstruction" refers to any blockage or hindrance in the normal flow of urine from the body. This can occur at various points along the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters (the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), bladder, and urethra (the tube through which urine is expelled from the body). Urinary obstruction can be caused by a variety of factors such as kidney stones, tumors, enlarged prostate gland, or scar tissue. The condition can lead to severe complications if left untreated and may result in damage to the kidneys or other organs. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the obstruction and may include medication, surgery, or other interventions depending on the specific circumstances.
