Why Might Males Experience Starting and Stopping During Urination?

Males may have trouble starting and stopping when they pee for a few reasons. One common reason is a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This means the prostate gland is bigger than normal, which can press on the tube that carries urine out of the body, making it hard to start or keep going when urinating.

Another reason could be certain medicines. Some drugs can cause problems with urination, such as making it hard to start peeing or making the flow stop and start.

Main Causes:

1. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):

• The prostate gets bigger and presses on the urinary tube.
• This can cause a weak flow or make it hard to start.

2. Medications:

• Some medications can cause urinary retention, which means the bladder has trouble emptying all the way.
• This can lead to a stop-and-start pattern when peeing.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider to find out the cause and get the right treatment.
