Therefore, when there is an abnormality in the prostate, it often affects urination. The prostate is generally divided into 5 pages: the front page, middle page, back page and both pages. after the age of 40, the middle page can become enlarged and bulge upwards into the bladder, making the bladder bulge significantly and pressing on the urethra causing difficulty in urination.
