Prostatic Urethral Polyp

Omar Salim Akhtar, Dr Shyam Sriram Joshi

Abstract :

Acute urinary retention in a young male due to a prostatic polyp is a rare presentation. We present a case of a 29–year–old male, who had a 6–month history of urinary frequency and poor stream and presented with lower abdominal pain and inability to pass urine for 6 hours in the Emergency. He was treated by catheterization initially, followed by endoscopy. Endoscopic examination of the urethra revealed a prostatic urethral polyp, which was excised in total, after which the symptoms did not recur until last follow–up. A prostatic urethral polyp is a rare entity and may be considered in a young male patient with atypical urinary symptoms not explained by any obstructive pathology. The management of this condition is complete endoscopic excision, after which the symptoms usually do not recur.
