What are symptoms of contracture of the bladder neck?

Men usually begin to experience symptoms of bladder neck contracture within three to six months after prostate surgery. At first, a man may notice a gradual reduction in the flow of urine. This symptom may be overlooked at first, and can progress to the point where he becomes unable to urinate. In other cases, a man might experience urine leakage when the bladder becomes too full. This condition is known as overflow incontinence.

Some of the symptoms associated with contracture of the bladder neck include:

• Needing to push to begin urination
• Delayed onset of urination (following the urge to urinate)
• Slow or diminished force of urine stream
• Urine stream that starts and stops
• Sensation of incomplete emptying
