Abstract
Acute urinary retention and overflow incontinence in an older male patient indicate infravesical obstruction by prostatic hypertrophy. Nocturia, frequency, small voided volumes, weak stream, hesitancy, prolonged voiding time, pain, urgency, urge incontinence, postvoiding dribble, and the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying are the symptoms of “prostatism” attributed to chronic urethral obstruction.
