If you find that you are suffering from a weak urine stream, you may be surprised to find out that it is a fairly common condition that affect people of both genders and all ages. The people who primarily suffer from this often-ignored issue are older men around the age 40 who have enlarged prostate glands, if if this describes you, you'll find that there are several ways to look at this condition and also to treat it.
If you notice that you are experiencing hesitation or delay when it comes to urination, you should start thinking about the causes and what you can do about it as soon as possible. It can be hard to detect, as it comes on gradually, and it may be a small problem for years before you think to have it treated. If this condition is left untreated, you'll find that it can even result in full urinary retention, where the individual finds himself unable to urinate at all. Because this later problem is a direct result of the former situation and because it can result in bladder discomfort and distention, the sooner you get this problem treated the better.
The primary cause for urinary hesitancy, as this condition is called, is an enlarged prostate gland. As men get older, there is a good chance that their prostates will enlarge, and because of this, you'll find that they can the enlarged glands can pinch urethra, resulting bladder muscles that are thicker and more sensitive. This can greatly affect the urine stream over time, but you'll find that this is far from the only cause. A urinary tract infection, especially one that keeps recurring after treatment, or some prescription drugs could be the culprit, as could certain neurological disorders. It is also possible that the temporary inflammation of the prostate gland is to blame.
When you are looking into the treatment for a decreased or irregular urine stream, you need to remember that any symptoms like vomiting, blacking out or persistent fevers are reasons to seek medical advice, but you'll find that barring anything that extreme, you'll have several different options in front of you that you can try at home. Looking ahead and planning for the worst, remember to keep a good record of your urination patterns so that you can report them to a doctor as necessary.
Some men find that the application of heat to their lower abdomen, just a few inches below the navel, can relax the muscles there and help strengthen your urination flow. Similarly, massage or light pressure over your bladder can help you stimulate the urination flow to where it is stronger as well. Many men also find that the issue of dehydration can be problematic, so make sure that you drink the requisite 8 cups of water a day. Drinking cranberry juice, which is a natural diuretic, can be advisable as well.
If you feel that an infection is to blame, make sure that you go to your doctor for the right kind of antibiotics. There are many reasons that you might be experiencing this problem, so keep an open mind, and if necessary, speak to a professional!
