6. Weak Urine Stream

Well over half the cases of OAB in men can be traced to an enlarged prostate, which is putting pressure on the bladder or interfering with the urethra. In these cases, the sudden urge to urinate can be strong, but you may notice a relatively weak stream when you do go, even if your bladder feels very full. In other cases, the urine stream starts and stops, and you may not feel like you’ve completely emptied your bladder by the end. If the prostate isn’t to blame, your OAB symptoms could be caused bladder stones or another obstruction, so consult your doctor for the appropriate tests.
