Urinary problems

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi everyone,

I noticed that my urine stream is weaker than it used to be. It is better sometimes but mostly weaker. Much more often I feel like I need to go pee and a weak stream with little pee comes out only. Around my period all this seems worse. I wonder if this is connected to peri or getting older, or it is something else? Anyone find this familiar? I am 40. 😦

    I've had this symptom several times in the last couple of years. It comes on and lasts a while, then completely goes away. Two times, I had to pee so frequently that I thought I had a UTI. Urine tests were negative. My doctor ordered a pelvic ultrasound to check on everything, which came back fine. I believe it's hormone related. There are a lot of estrogen recepters in the urethra, so I can imagine fluctuations have an impact. I'll be 41 this month and it's always something new.
