Bladder neck contracture is a challenging complication that can occur after treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and it’s something every patient and clinician should understand. In this episode of UroPatient, hosted and presented by Vic Senese, RN, BSN, FAUNA, we break down what bladder neck contracture is, why it happens, and how it impacts urinary function after procedures like TURP, laser therapies, and other BPH interventions.

You’ll learn how scar tissue forms at the bladder neck, leading to obstruction, weak urinary stream, urinary retention, and even recurrent urinary tract infections. We’ll also discuss risk factors, early warning signs, and the importance of timely diagnosis using cystoscopy and uroflow studies.

Most importantly, this video explores current treatment options—including dilation, incision of the contracture, and repeat procedures—along with practical strategies for prevention and long-term management. Whether you’re a patient recovering from BPH treatment or a healthcare professional looking to enhance your understanding, this episode provides clear, actionable insights.

Stay informed and empowered with evidence-based education designed to improve urologic health outcomes.
