What can cause difficult urination?

Difficult urination is a problem that can result from several causes. While aging can affect your ability to urinate, there may be other issues to consider, as well. Difficult urination can be a symptom of some medical conditions, such as urinary incontinence, urethral strictures, and nocturia, so it’s important to be evaluated by a urologist if you’re having this problem.

If you aren’t sure if you’re experiencing difficult urination, then there are several symptoms to keep in mind. A slow or weak urine stream can indicate that you have trouble urinating properly, as can pain in your lower back or abdomen or pain when you urinate. Feeling an increased need to urinate that interferes with your sleep can also be a sign of difficult urination.
