Which of the following is a common symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Urinary urgency
Rationale:
✔️ Urinary urgency is a classic symptom of BPH due to bladder outlet obstruction from the enlarged prostate gland.
✔️ The obstruction causes increased bladder wall pressure, leading to detrusor muscle overactivity.
✔️ This results in sudden, strong urges to void, even when the bladder is not full.
✔️ Chronic irritation of the bladder wall can worsen urgency and lead to other lower urinary tract symptoms such as frequency and nocturia.
✔️ Recognizing urgency as part of the symptom profile assists in early diagnosis and timely treatment.
