Symptoms & Signs

What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

Symptoms may range from mild to severe, and the most common ones involve changes or problems with urination, such as:

a feeling that the bladder has not been emptied completely

frequent urination

a hesitant, weak stream

leaking or dribbling, known as incontinence

more frequent urination, especially at night, known as nocturia

an urge to urinate again soon after emptying the bladder the last time

urgency to urinate

Some men have no symptoms at all before suddenly finding themselves totally unable to urinate. This condition is called acute urinary retention and may be triggered by over-the-counter cold or allergy medicines that contain decongestants.
