PATHOLOGY

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 most common obstructive cause is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In a study of 310 men over a two-year period, urinary retention was caused by BPH in 53 percent of patients.

Detailed explanation-3: -Benign enlargement of the prostate gland (BPH) is more common as men get older. It can cause troublesome symptoms, although it doesn’t always. The urethra passes through the prostate gland, so men may have problems urinating if the enlarged gland restricts the flow of urine.
