Curious about prostates? Urine luck!

I'm editing some articles for an oncology clinic this sunny Sunday afternoon, and I'm learning far more than I ever thought I'd want to know about prostates:

Common BPH symptoms include the following:

• Blood in the urine (hematuria) caused by straining to void
• Dribbling after voiding
• Feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely after urination
• Frequent urination, particularly at night (nocturia)
• Hesitant, interrupted, or weak urine stream caused by decreased force
• Leakage of urine (overflow incontinence)
• Pushing or straining to begin urination
• A recurrent, sudden, urgent need to urinate

You guys have it pretty bad, it seems, though still not as bad as us women. So there.
