The thing about your prostate is that it wraps itself around the urethra down which your wee comes from the bladder, before exiting to the outside world via the penis. When all's well, then all is indeed well. However, as you get older, the prostate grows and, as it grows, it can compress the urethra, making you urination more difficult.
For this reason, you'll find that you dribble rather than gush, you may sometimes find it hard to finish a wee and you can also experience "urgency" where you actually find it hard to restrain a wee from coming (usually when you are in sight of a toilet, is my experience!).
