Q: Enlarged Prostate Symptoms

Hi! First post here...

I'm 28 year old male.

Two symptoms:
(1) when I urinate, there is a delay of around 3-20 seconds before I start, and when I do, most of the time the pressure is very low. In these cases, I do not have a urgent need to go, just a 'normal' need. When there is an urgent need, things are relatively normal in terms of pressure and delay.

(2) I have always taken forever to ejaculate.

There is a contributing factor.... Since around the age of 20 (when I made a horrendous stuff up of a public speaking situation! ) I have had a lot of trouble urinating in public urinals when I know there is someone within view. In these cases I use a cubicle. So this is a psychological issue that affects things when i'm in a public restroom. My problem still occurs when I am completely alone and at ease with the situation.

How common are these symptoms for someone of my age, and what conclusive tests can be conducted to determine if there is an issue with my prostate or something else?

Cheers

Signs of an enlarged prostate include:
* slowed or delayed start of the urinary stream
* weak urine stream
* dribbling after urinating
* straining to urinate
* strong and sudden urge to urinate
* incomplete emptying of your bladder
* needing to urinate 2 or more times per night
* urinary retention (complete inability to urinate)
* incontinence
* pain with urination or bloody urine (these may indicate infection)

less than half of men with an enlarged prostate, however, experience these symptoms. Your best bet is to visit your doctor.
