Why am I passing urine slowly?
Other possible causes of slow urine flow are prostate or bladder cancer, blockage along any part of the urinary tract (from kidneys to bladder to urethra), neurogenic bladder dysfunction, frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs), and any other conditions that cause scarring or damage to the urinary tract.
Why is my urine stream weak sometimes?
Issues with weak urine flow will typically mean the bladder is not emptying properly. With BPH, this is because the enlarged prostate is blocking the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine out of the penis.
What does it mean when you can’t pee all at once?
Causes of urinary retention include an obstruction in the urinary tract such as an enlarged prostate or bladder stones, infections that cause swelling or irritation, nerve problems that interfere with signals between the brain and the bladder, medications, constipation, urethral stricture, or a weak bladder muscle.
What does it mean when your urine is less than 400ml?
If you pass less than 400mL then it is known as oliguria. This is abnormal and needs to be investigated. If your urine output is less than 100mL (3.3 fluid oz) or there is no urine output at all in a day then it is known as anuria.
What does it mean when you have no urine in a day?

Why do I feel the need to pass water every time I pee?
As the urine passes down the urethra it causes irritation of this very sensitive pipe connecting the bladder to the penis and you feel you must pass water yet again. This wears off as you drink fluids and the urine becomes less concentrated. If your tests are clear for enlarged prostate and infection there is unlikely to be anything else wrong.
How many liters of urine do you pass out a day?
