A member asked:

Could my prostate be pinching my urethra?

Yes: As a man ages, the prostate gland enlarges and causes a blockage to the outflow of urine from the bladder. This can be treated with medications. If medications fail, then surgery is the next step depending on the amount of blockage and urinary symptoms present.

Yes: Enlargement of the prostate can, and often does, lead to obstructive voiding.
