What Problems Can An Enlarged Prostate Gland Cause?
The prostate is a gland that sort of straddles your urethra. As it grows larger, it squeezes or pinches off your urethra, which can cause all or some of following symptoms. • Urge to urinate right away, sometimes with leaking or dribbling • Frequent need to urinate especially during the night • Feeling that the bladder is not completely empty, even after urinating • Delay in starting the urine stream • Urine stream that starts and stops • Frequent urination • Weak urine stream You may be experiencing some or all of these symptoms but not to the point where they are really interfering with your life. In this case, your doctor will probably advise watchful waiting, a fancy way of saying, well just watch your symptoms and wait for a year to retest your PSA level”.
