HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, here the most common possibility is enlarge prostrate gland and it need to be ruled out and for that it requires imaging study of prostrate, some time it could be geriatric symptoms too it is better to see the urologist for further advise and management hope this information helps.
