How do you know if you have an enlarged prostate? It's when you need to urinate frequently. Like almost every hour, every two hours. And you urinate a lot at night, like three to four times. It's disrupting your sleep. And when you do urinate, you start and you stop. And your urine stream is not as strong as it was when you were in your 20s. And then when you do urinate, you start to dribble. And then if you do urinate, you stop, and then you have to come back in about half an hour later and go again. In addition, sometimes men can have increased urinary tract infection, can have blood in the urine, and sometimes they can't even urinate.
