Prostate: From your comments, you already have seen your family doctor and got prostate exam and psa. The size of the prostate does not rule out some type of bladder outlet obstruction either from internal growth of the prostate, a urethral stricture. It is important to know if you are really retaining urine or just a sensation which can happen with bladder overactivity. See a urologist.
