Urination: If this is new, it may be due to a blockage, such as from a stone, in your urethra.  Generally accompanied by significant pain.

Question 5

the term weak urine stream is vague.  is there a vol/time measurement that defines a weak stream?

Accepted Answer

Medical Terminology: Nope. This is like porn you are supposed to know what porn is when you see it and with a urine stream not weak is the sensation you can easily push the urine out of your bladder and there is a pressure and rapidity that seems to go away as us men get a bit older.  Weak means that it can take time to start to go and that there is no possibility that you can push the urine out any faster.

Question 9

i am 67 years old. why do i have a weak urine stream only in the morning?

Accepted Answer

Enlarged prostate: MAY be the issue.  Your doc can check it.  The prostate wraps around the urethra and can pinch off the flow of urine.  Very common in older men.  A natural product called "ProstaThera" by the ProThera company can be helpful but you need a licensed professional to get it for you.  Peace and good health.

Question 10

my son is 15 years old, and he's been telling me that he has a weak urine stream in the morning. but throughout the day and night, all his urine streams are fine. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

: No. He is likely waking with an erection that delays urination. There is no cause for concern.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
