A member asked:

When a man goes pee and his stream starts and stops multiple times and is sometimes hard to go is this prostate problem or normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stopping/starting: Urination can be a sign of bladder outlet obstruction, and the prostate is one source. Need a urologist to evaluate.
