Trouble starting or sustaining a urine stream (also called urinary hesitancy) can affect men and women, but it’s more common in older men with an enlarged prostate. You’ll want to see a doctor to evaluate this, as there are many effective treatments.
Symptoms include back and/or side pain, nausea and vomiting. You might also notice blood in your urine. For those with a family history of kidney stones, you’re at higher risk of getting them. Your doctor will conduct tests to see if you do have kidney stones and, if so, where and how big they are. This will help determine the treatment plan, which could include passing them naturally, breaking them into small pieces for easier passage or removing them.
Also known as urinary incontinence, this condition is more common in older adults and affects women twice as much as men. Your doctor can recommend treatments based on the type of urinary incontinence you’re experiencing. It might be dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, medication or surgery.
This is a reason to schedule a visit with a urologist immediately. Your urologist will want to rule out anything serious. Most likely, your doctor will start with a urine test to see if additional exams are necessary. These might include a blood test, CT scan or bladder examination.
