Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common cause of urinary hesitancy in older men is an enlarged prostate. Almost all older men have some trouble with dribbling, weak urine stream, and starting urination. Another common cause is infection of the prostate or urinary tract.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cause of prostate enlargement is unknown, but it’s believed to be linked to hormonal changes as a man gets older. The balance of hormones in your body changes as you get older and this may cause your prostate gland to grow.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pathology of clinical BPH is essentially PA causing physiological changes: a varying degree of bladder outlet obstruction, with or without LUTS. Clinical BPH can be differentiated from other causes of male LUTS with non-invasive TAUS and uroflowmetry in the clinic.
