Guys, You Might Be Having This Condition If You Have Weak Urine Stream

Weak urine stream, difficulty starting urinating and needing to pee more frequently.

If you have many of the symptoms above, you might be having some trouble with your prostate.

You do not need to be ashamed of these symptoms. 

In fact, prostate problems are very common among males. 1 in 3 men will have some symptoms of prostate problems by 50 years old. The most common being benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

As men age, the prostate gets larger. This will lead to the condition called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) where the prostate squeezes on the urethra, the tube that carries urine and semen out of the penis.

What Causes The Enlargement Of Prostate?

While the full mechanism is still being studied, one major influence of the enlargement is due to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

What Should I Do?

Remember, do not self-diagnose. If you have such symptoms remember to see your doctor and seek medical attention. While BPH is a common cause, there are many other conditions that may cause similar symptoms.

I Have Seen A Doctor & I Am Taking Prescribed Medication For BPH. Anything Else That May Help?

Avoid Caffeine

Caffeine can irritate the urinary bladder and make the symptoms of BPH worse.

Drink Less Fluid In The Evening

As BPH results in incomplete evacuation of the bladder, it is never a good idea to overload your bladder before you sleep. This will increase the frequency of urination in the middle of the night. Avoid drinking any fluid 2 hours before you sleep.

Empty Your Bladder 

Remember to empty your bladder before you go for a long journey.

Double Voiding

One main symptom of BPH is the incomplete evacuation of the bladder and the feeling like you are unable to empty your bladder. Double voiding means waiting a few moments after you have finished peeing before trying to go again. 

Check Your Medicines

Talk to your doctor or your pharmacist. Some medicines may worsen the symptoms of BPH.
