Initial management involves immediate bladder decompression through urethral or suprapubic catheterization. The underlying cause is evaluated after stabilization. Medication or surgical intervention may be required for long-term treatment. Early management prevents bladder and renal complications.

Diagnosis involves cystoscopy with biopsy and imaging studies such as CT urography. Histopathological examination confirms tumor type and grade. Imaging helps determine local invasion and metastasis. Accurate staging guides treatment planning.

Uroflowmetry measures urinary flow rate and helps detect bladder outlet obstruction. Reduced flow patterns may indicate prostatic enlargement or urethral stricture. It is a non-invasive diagnostic investigation. Results support clinical management decisions.

Evaluation includes uroflowmetry, retrograde urethrography, and cystoscopic examination. These investigations help determine the structure length and severity. Symptoms such as a weak stream and incomplete emptying are commonly present. Proper evaluation guides treatment planning.

Renal function assessment helps determine kidney reserve and surgical fitness. Elevated creatinine levels may indicate impaired renal function. Results guide anesthesia, fluid management, and medication planning. Preoperative optimization reduces complications.
