There are many causes of male urinary problems -- one of which can be your prostate. Here are some ways to tell. And, if it is your prostate, what to do about it.

Check this out:

First off, realize that if you have any problems urinating, you should get checked out by a doctor and avoid the usual self diagnosis most of us guys do. And if it is your prostate, then some of the symptoms you might experience include having trouble getting your stream started, a burning feeling when you pee, a frequent urge to urinate, excessive "dribbling" afterwards and maybe even painful urination.

Plus, you may have sexual problems, too, if it's your prostate.

Like, for example, soft erections.

Low sex drive.

And maybe even painful ejaculation.

All of these could mean your male urinary problems are caused by either an enlarged prostate, prostatitis (i.e. a prostate infection) or maybe even prostate cancer.

So this is why you don't want to mess around, and get checked out.

If it is a prostate problem that is not cancer, there are some things you can do.

Probably the most important of which is start drinking more water.

A good goal is half your body weight in ounces of water each day (so if you weigh 200 pounds, you'd drink 100 ounces of water).

This alone can clear a lot of urinary problems up.

Especially since it cleans out your urinary tract, bladder and other body parts of infections, debris and other "invaders."

Plus, your body needs water to function properly.

Anyway, the bottom line is, if you are suffering from male urinary problems, it may be your prostate.

Prostate cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells shape in the tissues of the prostate. The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It is just about the size of a walnut and encircles part of the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder). The prostate gland creates fluid that makes up part of the semen.

Prostate cancer is discovered primarily in older men. As men age, the prostate might grow and block the urethra or bladder. This could lead to trouble in urination or could slow down sexual function. The condition is named benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and even if it is not cancer, surgery might be wanted to correct it. Its symptoms or of other problems in the prostate could be similar to symptoms of cancer of prostate.

A latest study found that thirty percent of a sample of seniors in receipt of Medicare assistances who had undergone a radical prostatectomy reported urinary incontinence. Over forty-seven percent of all men responding to one survey reported dripping urine on a daily basis; and to manage wetness, thirty-one percent of the respondents made use of pads or clamps. Other studies have given an account that stress urinary incontinence was present in eight percent of men who undertaken a radical retropubic prostatectomy, with six percent wearing one or fewer pads a day.

Incontinence after prostate surgery could be caused by stress, urge or mixed urinary incontinence. In men, stress incontinence could happen in consequence of intrinsic urethral sphincter deficiency. The sphincter is an interwoven band of striated muscle placed at the base of the bladder (the bladder outlet) and the proximal piece of the urethra.

A number of doctors have discovered that patients who put into practice pelvic muscle (Kegel) exercises before prostate surgery come into contact with a more rapid return to bladder control. Bringing together pelvic muscle exercise with bladder retraining for men with both stress and urge urinary incontinence could reduce urine leakage, urine urgency and frequency.

Men who come into contact with incontinence after prostate surgery need to know they are not alone and that there might be some treatments that could make the incontinence under control.
