What are the symptoms of an Enlarged Prostate?

A weak or interrupted urine stream; Difficulty starting urination or straining to begin; Frequent urination, particularly at night (nocturia); A sudden or urgent need to urinate; A sensation that the bladder is not completely empty; Dribbling at the end of urination; Occasional blood in the urine. Symptoms often develop gradually, and many men dismiss them as a normal part of ageing. They are not. Early assessment means more treatment options, less disruption to daily life, and a lower risk of complications such as urinary retention or bladder damage. If these symptoms sound familiar, book a consultation with Dr Brown. Most private health insurers cover specialist urology consultations, and Medicare rebates apply with a valid GP referral.
