6. I have to urinate frequently and, as a result of waking, I cannot rest. Also, the urine is discharged in a thin stream. What can I do?
Mainly men over 50 complain about this. The symptoms are caused by the prostate – the prostate surrounds the urethra and it is located right underneath the bladder. Because the prostate gland surrounds the urethra, when the prostate enlarges, it compresses and slows down the uretha and, in turn, disrupts the flow of urine from the bladder.
It needs examination by a consultant. Any changes in the kidney, bladder and prostate can be detected by ultrasound. Of course, a blood test needs to be conducted. We need to be sure that any evidence of prostate cancer is eliminated.
Frequent urination can be treated by medication. In the early stages of urinary problems, treatment by drugs is also possible, but if it is affecting your quality of life then an operation is an option.
