Question - What could be causing a decrease in my urine stream force?:
I am 66 years of age. For a few years I have noticed that when I urinate there has been a steady decrease in the force of the stream of urine until now it as if it is barely running out. What causes this and is there any treatment?
Guide Responds:
I would suggest you see your physician for a physical, which should include an examination of your prostate. Enlargement of the prostate gland is very common in men over the age of 55 and can cause a narrowing of the urethra. This may be the cause but needs to be confirmed by your physician who can also evaluate need for treatment.
