Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a common condition in older men that can cause urinary symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, weak urine stream, and incomplete bladder emptying. The fact that the patient is experiencing problems emptying his bladder, especially at night, is a classic symptom of BPH. Urinary tract infection, bladder cancer, and testicular cancer are not typically associated with this type of urinary symptom.
