Why do I need help peeing?
Consult your healthcare provider if you are having a hard time peeing. An enlarged prostate may be the problem
What is an enlarged prostate?
Enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), happens when the prostate grows larger with age. BPH is common among men over 60. The exact cause is unknown.
Where is the prostate?
The prostate is located near the bladder and the rectum. It is about the size of a walnut. Because of its proximity to the bladder, problems with the prostate can impact ability to control your pee. You may begin to experience some symptoms of incontinence such as leaks or accidents following a sudden urge to pee. You may also notice that it is difficult to empty your bladder.
Why is it hard to empty my bladder?
Enlarged prostate can make it difficult to start the flow of urine. Once the flow starts your stream may be weak or simply dribble out. It may also be difficult to fully empty your bladder. The problem is pressure on your urethra, which makes it hard for urine to pass freely. In some cases, the prostate may grow so large that urine cannot pass at all. Go to the emergency room. BPH, weak bladder muscles or bladder infection can stop your ability to urinate and require immediate medical attention.
Other causes
Difficulty peeing can also be caused by certain medications or scar tissue from surgery. Sometimes the problem is constant and sometimes it is intermittent. Meaning sometimes you can pee, just not always when you plan to. For those times, there’s Men’s Liberty. We’ve designed a safe, dependable, discreet option for men managing incontinence.
