A 50 year old man, known to have diabetes, presents with poor urinary stream, increased frequency of micturation and hesitancy. What is the most likely diagnosis?
High-Yield Explanation
Although patients of both BPH and autonomic neuropathy presents with symptoms of poor urinary stream and hesitancy, BPH causes increased frequency of micturition . While in autonomic neuropathy, patients are unable to empty the bladder and there is decreased frequency of micturition. So BPH is the correct answer to the question.
