London - A changed in the characteristic wavy pattern of a man’s urine stream could point to problems with urine flow and, in turn, the prostate, say scientists at Queen Mary, University of London.
Flow for men and women should be steady and continuous and there shouldn’t be a strain at the end, says Vijay Sangar, a urological surgeon at the Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester.
In men, an intermittent flow with a dribble at the end could be a sign of an enlarged prostate, a benign condition that occurs with age.
In women, intermittent flow may be a sign of polyps (small growths), fibroids or ovarian cysts, says Luciano Nardo, consultant gynaecologist at BMI The Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle.
These can reduce the capacity of the bladder.
It could also point to cystitis, all of which need to be treated by your GP. - Daily Mail
