b. In the anterior prostate zone.
c. In the zone immediately inside the rectum.
d. In the periurethral zone.
d
Men who have BPH are prone to developing a UTI because:

b. Ingested fluids do not adequately flush the kidneys.
c. Stagnated urine in the bladder promotes bacterial growth.

b. Decreased Urination
c. Urgency
d. Flank pain
c
Which of the following can help to prevent a UTI?
