Why is my pee stream inconsistent?

Urinary hesitancy has many potential causes, including bladder obstructions, an enlarged prostate, and complications related to childbirth. If a person consistently experiences urinary hesitancy, they should contact a doctor. The inability to pass urine at all is called urinary retention and is a medical emergency.

Is it normal for pee to come out slowly?

Why is my urine stream different?

Parekh. It happens when the edges of the urethra get temporarily stuck together. The urethra is the tube that carries urine (and also semen, in men) out of the body. This sticky situation is often caused by dry ejaculate that doesn’t fully exit the urethra, gumming up the pipes.

Why does urine stream weaken with age?

The gland gradually enlarges as the years go by, and this enlargement can cause pressure on the water pipe which runs from the bladder to the outside (the urethra), restricting the flow of urine in just the same way that water running through a hose is restricted if the hose is kinked or compressed.

How can I increase my urine stream?

4. Try double voiding.
