Coloured urogram (X-ray) of the pelvis of a male patient aged 62, showing the dynamics of bladder control to test the health of the prostate gland (image 1 of 2). Here, before urination the rounded bladder (lower centre) has folded diverticula suggesting bladder control, and the prostate gland (yellow) is seen beneath the bladder. An inflamed or diseased prostate gland can affect bladder control. (Image 2 shows the bladder has not emptied after urination; tumours - adenomas - are seen on the prostate gland).
