No Appointment Necessary · What's Actually Normal for Your Bladder? · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

So men have something that women don't have, the prostate gland. voice-verified

And the prostate gland sits at the base of the bladder, just underneath its opening where the urethra comes out. voice-verified

Now, normally, the job of the prostate is to make seminal fluid, which is fluid that is added to semen as semen comes out. voice-verified

It should have nothing to do with urine, really. voice-verified

But it's its position that makes it a problem sometimes for men. voice-verified

So the prostate naturally enlarges as all men get older. voice-verified

And what that can do, that doesn't mean you've got cancer. voice-verified

It's just a natural process. voice-verified

Why does it do that? voice-verified

It just does. voice-verified

Just does. voice-verified

It goes bigger as you get older. voice-verified

Sometimes it grows too big. voice-verified

And we call that benign prostatic hypertrophy. voice-verified

And what that means is the urethra, which is like a tube that comes out of the bladder, the prostate presses up against it. voice-verified

And so when you try and pass your urine, it struggles to get past that pressure off the prostate. voice-verified

So you could have difficulty starting your stream. voice-verified

You could have difficulty maintaining your stream. voice-verified

But the most common thing is you go to pass urine as normal, but your bladder doesn't completely empty because of that prostate. voice-verified
