Male Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
Urinary symptoms in men — frequency, urgency, weak stream, nocturia — which may come from the prostate, bladder or other causes.
Overview
While an enlarged prostate is a frequent cause, bladder overactivity, strictures, diabetes and neurological conditions can produce identical symptoms. Assessment typically includes symptom scores, urine tests, flow measurement and ultrasound.
Common symptoms
- Weak stream or straining
- Frequency and urgency
- Night-time urination
- Incomplete emptying
When to see a urologist
Bothersome symptoms, retention, blood in urine or recurrent infections need evaluation.
