Hello you guys. I am 44. Sometimes at night when I wake up I have a very weak urine flow. It seems I cannot urinate right away and I have to walk around a bit to get it going. Does anyone else struggle with this and why am I doing this? I am healthy otherwise and this only happens at NIGHT never during the day.

If it's slow to start, or you need to push it out, especially in the morning, you might consider seeing a GP. That's a common symtom of men for prostate enlargement, which is really really common. Basically the prostate gland pushes against the urethra, and physically stops pee from flowing out. Get it checked out, dude, better to know. Cheers!

Okaaaay, maybe it's not your prostate then? Only a guess......
Clearly, your bladder doesn't realize how fabulous it is during the night, and is therefore a bit slow to relax?

I know this is old feed, but I think I have the same problem and I’m really worried ? I’m 51 going through meno and recently I’ve noticed a slow urine flow, but only through the night as you say ! It’s fine during the day . . . . Do you still have it ? Thanks so much Deb x

Dont drink any caffeine prior to bedtime or drink any soft drinks, or British sodas. The carbonation will cause you to urinate at night. Slow urine means you have a prostate problem or BPH. I have had a problem with my prostate where my urine wouldn't come out unless I strained and pushed down on my groin, but eventually I went to a doctor to get it fixed. No problems now

According to my insurance, it is called contracted bladder,or incontinence. On this forum , it is called an overactive bladder. On the internet, it is called post void dribbling.
I have given up trying to stop my leakage. But I now leak less now that I am on dialysis.
In the past, I have had several cystoscopies to find out the cause. First, I had urethral strictures and they were removed. Then I had BPH Benign Prostatic., some prostate pieces were removed through a cystoscopy procedure. Then finally one doctor finally told me I had a false entry into my bladder. Which means my urine pools into 2 separate areas. So I can pee and empty my bladder but then 10 minutes later, I have to pee again and then about 30 minutes later, I have to pee again. This occurs even though I never drink any liquid during that time period.
I am thinking about getting a Uriclak, a penis clamp. There are several listed on the internet. Some men get catheters. I only had a catheter after my cystoscopies because of the blood involved after a stricture is removed. I didn't like it when it was removed.
I have had this problem since my 20's and I am now 66 years old. Talking about this is not embarrassing to me. I am too old to worry about anything regarding my many medical problems, which total over..20 .
When I first got on this forum, I only read about women having this problem, so I thought I would tell mt story.
I am not a doctor but I would recommend that you seek the advice from a doctor to determine why you are leaking. There are procedures that can help. Or like I stated penis clamps.
Good luck
