Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your urine flow is very weak.

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Do you have other obstructive voiding symptoms like frequency for urination .nocturia ,urgency etc?

Slow urine flow at this is mostly due to enlarged Prostate and needs to be evaluated.

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine Routine and Culture
2) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis with specific mention of post void residual urine volume .
3) Serum PSA.
4) Uroflowmetry.

In the mean while you can start taking Tomsulosin once daily.

Further treatment will depend upon the results of these test and final diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.
Dr.Patil.
