Frequent urination: Hi! men typically experience urinary symptoms when the prostate is enlarged. BPH (benign prostatic hyper trophy) causes increase in urination, incomplete emptying of the bladder, dribbling, leaking, slow stream, hesitation upon starting urine. There are supplements like saw palmetto and lycopene, as well as prescription meds that can improve symptoms.

Different ways: Urgency, frequency, weak stream and getting up often at night to urinate are common lower urinary tract symptoms (luts). I suspect you may be equating luts with "enlarged prostate" which is common but often incorrect. There is little correlation between luts and prostate size. You can find an aua symptom score questionnaire online and score yourself. Based on that score, options may be available.
