Weak urine flow
The prostate is not only near the urinary system, but it is also surrounding the urethra, where urine flows to leave the body. A prostate enlargement would likely build extra pressure upon the urethra, and that’s why the urine flow ends up being affected. Patients would usually complain about a difficulty to start urination and a weak flow of urine as they are on it. In the end, they typically keep dripping urine for a long time, and they may even continuously change their underwear because of this continuing leakage after passing urine.
Similar to frequent urination, weak urine flow is not always an early sign of prostate cancer, and it develops when the tumor has grown towards the urinary bladder and the urethra. Therefore, we should perform a complete exam to rest assured there’s nothing wrong.
