Symptom #6: Urinary Hesitancy
Urinary hesitancy is difficulty starting or maintaining urination. It is mostly seen among older men who have an enlarged prostate gland, but it can affect patients of all ages. Other common causes of urinary hesitancy include infection of the urinary tract or prostate. Urinary hesitancy makes the urine flow weak, and dribbling may occur.
Other associated symptoms of urinary hesitancy include increased urinary frequency, dysuria, cloudy urine, and urinary urgency. If it leads to the inability to urinate, it is called urinary retention, which can lead to a painful and swollen bladder.
