Could be; (1) a urinary tract infection; (2) anxiety; and (3) enlarged prostate.\n\nRelax when you urinate.  Give yourself time to get out as much urine as possible.\n\nA quick way to alleviate an infection down there:  Drink cranberry juice -- the good kind made out of 100% juice.  There is an acid in there that makes your urine even more acid and bacteria holding onto the walls of the urethra let loose when they encounter increased acidity.  Also drink plenty of water.\n\nIf the problem persists much longer, I suggest you visit your family physician and perhaps a urologist.\n\nGood luck.  Rest assured, you are not the first or last guy to experience this problem.  You'll find a solution.

If you know that you have benign prostate hyperplasia BPH you might try BETASITOSTEROL.  It is more effective than saw palmetto.

Prostatomegaly is an increase in size of the prostate gland. The general causes of prostatomegaly include: \nBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or cystic hyperplasia. \nSquamous metaplasia. This is enlargement of the prostate gland caused by excessive exposure to estrogen.\nProstatitis. This is a bacterial infection of the prostate gland.\nProstatic abscess. This is a severe form of prostatitis where a pocket of infected fluid develops within the prostate.\nParaprostatic cysts. These are large fluid-filled sacs connected to the prostate by a thin stalk.\nProstatic neoplasia. Tumors of the prostate gland are all malignant and difficult to treat.\nProstatomegaly may cause a wide variety of clinical signs.

BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia \nit happens mostly because of hormonal disturbance between testosteron and dihydrotestosteron intraprostatic and then the prostate tissue enlarges and cause some irritative and obustructive symptoms such as after drippling , difficulty in voiding , hesitancy , frequent urination , urine retention .\nTHE ideal solution is to consult a urolgist for surgery that removes some extent of it or try some drugs just like proscar.

My dad has it.  It's cancer of the prostate gland which is just below the bladder as described by the other person.  My dad's has spread to his lymphatic system and has now gone into his bones - this took about a year to happen from being diagnosed - it's moved very fast.  His first symptoms were of a desperate need to pee but being unable to do so which is caused by the prostate swelling and pressing on the urethra.\n\nProstate cancer caught early enough can be cured.  It's usuaslly one of the slowest spreading cancers unless it gets into the lymphatic system and then......well, it moves fast.\n\nIf you're worried you should check with a doctor.  If you get a normal PSA reading THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE IT as in rare cases (about 5% including my dad) you can get low readings (dad's was less than 4 originally).  Always insist on a scan (MRI preferably) otherwise what happened to my dad might happen to you.  It was only when he stated to pee blood that they did a scan.\n\nHope you haven't go it.

Enlargement of the heart is a sign of serious disease of the muscle of the heart. When disease attacks the muscles of the heart, the ability of the heart to function properly as a pump is reduced. This causes the blood flow to slow and the heart to enlarge. When the heart becomes severely damaged, abnormalities in breathing, beating of the heart, and fluid retention may occur. This process known as heart failure commonly results in patients feeling dizzy and short of breath, with irregular heart beats and swelling of the legs and feet. My husband had an enlarged heart and another congenital defect.  It is serious.  He needs to get numerous opinions on how to handle it and find out the cause.  Good luck.  Be very proactive about his care.

Is it from drinking to much?  Or could you have a medical problem?  Enlarged prostrate can cause that.  Get checked out!

Apparently you're dehydrated.  The body's internal systems usually need some carrier to send things along.  If you had too much to drink the night before and "broke the seal" urinating all of the water away, or perhaps spent too much time in the sun, there was less to give to your prostate, I imagine that it could be a bit slow to flow.

The function of the prostate gland is to produce a fluid that becomes part of semen.  Complications of its removal (prostatectomy) include urethral stricture (especially with the transurethral approach of removal), urinary incontinence and impotence (especially with the perineal approach of removal).
