My urine is coming out slower and slower every day, & I have to go pee every 30 minutes to every hour, every day all day, for the last 4 years, Does that mean that my bladder could be shutting down?
This is a description from the Mayo Clinic about prostate enlargement symptoms:
"The severity of symptoms in people who have prostate gland enlargement varies, but symptoms tend to gradually worsen over time. Common signs and symptoms include:
Frequent or urgent need to urinate
Increased frequency of urination at night
Difficulty starting urination
Weak urine stream or a stream that stops and starts
Dribbling at the end of urination
Inability to completely empty the bladder"
