Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described (difficulty emptying the bladder, especially at night) are characteristic of benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is a common condition in older men where the prostate gland enlarges and obstructs the flow of urine from the bladder. Bladder cancer, epididymitis, and urinary tract infections may have overlapping symptoms but do not typically present with difficulty emptying the bladder specifically.
