Treatment of the bladder neck depends on the specific problem.
If it's a case of bladder neck obstruction, in mild cases, medications like alpha - blockers (such as tamsulosin) can be used. These drugs relax the muscles around the bladder neck and urethra, making it easier to urinate.
For more severe obstructions or those caused by anatomical problems like bladder neck stricture, surgical procedures may be necessary. Transurethral resection of the bladder neck is a common operation. The surgeon removes the excess tissue blocking the bladder neck through the urethra to improve urine flow.
Infections involving the bladder neck are usually treated with antibiotics. Appropriate antibiotics are selected according to the type of bacteria detected through urine tests to clear the infection.
