Questions A, B, E, and F from the American Urological Association Symptom Index for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia are used to screen men for an enlarged prostate. The urinary problem is difficulty in starting the urinary stream due to the prostate gland compressing the urethra, thus incontinence is not a manifestation of an enlarged prostate. Although the enlarged prostate is palpated through the rectum, it does not become large enough to cause constipation.
