This patient presents with signs and symptoms consistent with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH); this condition places one at increased risk for hydronephrosis.

BPH is a common condition seen in older men. It typically presents with any number of lower urinary tract symptoms ("LUTS"), including: increased frequency, nocturia, hesitancy, urgency, and weak stream. Enlarged prostate on examination can confirm the diagnosis. Over time, the retrograde pressure caused by BPH can cause hydronephrosis and even renal failure; this is also associated with bladder diverticula. Patients with BPH are at increased risk for developing urinary tract infections, but not prostate cancer.

Incorrect Answers:
Answers 1, 3, 4: All of these are not associated with BPH, whereas hydronephrosis is.
Answer 5: Although bladder stones can be associated with BPH, nephrolithiasis is not.
