Explanation
Answer: B - One of the most common prostatic disorders is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is an enlargement of the prostate gland. This disorder may require a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).Benign prostatic hyperplasia is caused by the excessive growth of prostatic nodules. BPH can compress the urethra, leading to partial or complete obstruction of the urethra, urinary hesitancy, frequency, dysuria, urinary retention and an increased risk of urinary tract infections.
