As one ages, the prostate gland tends to grow, and may compress the urethra, resulting in pain or discomfort while passing urine. Recent studies has proven that men in the age groups of over 30 years are having similar urinary symptoms, and are in need of medical attention. For others, symptoms aren't noticed until 50 plus years. A simple infection or a tumor can also enlarge the prostate creating discomfort and pain. It is always recommended to inform your doctor any of the urinary symptoms listed below.
