An enlarged prostate can be an increasing problem in old age. However, many people don’t realize just how prevalent this issue can be in younger males as well.

The second question is the easiest to answer: whenever you feel any type of discomfort while you urinate or experience problems such as incontinence, it’s usually best to visit an expert.

You might find it hard to start, and you might have to strain in order to pee. Also, you could be experiencing what is called “stop-start” peeing or a weaker flow. Other signs include a sudden need to pee, accidental leakage of urine or the need to get up frequently to go to the bathroom.
The more of these symptoms you experience, the more likely it is that you have some sort of problem related to your prostate – especially an enlarged prostate, which involves most (and sometimes all) of the symptoms mentioned above.
