What weak stream, urgency and night-time urination can mean and how a urologist evaluates them.
Symptoms are not diagnosis
Weak stream and frequency can arise from prostate enlargement, bladder dysfunction, infection, medicines or other causes.
Assessment is structured
History, examination, urine testing, flow assessment and ultrasound may be considered depending on symptoms.
Treatment is individualised
Lifestyle measures, medicines and procedures are chosen according to severity, prostate factors and complications.
Know the urgent signs
Inability to pass urine, fever, blood clots, severe pain or kidney-related symptoms need urgent care.
When to seek professional care
Consult a qualified specialist when symptoms persist, recur, interfere with daily life, cause significant distress or involve red flags. Online information cannot assess severity, examine you or review investigations.
