- Painful curvature of the penis during erection, with a palpable fibrous plaque
- A foreskin that is trapped behind the glans and causes penile swelling
Show answer
Correct answer: A weak urine stream with a feeling that the bladder is not completely empty
The enlarged prostate narrows the urethra, causing a weak stream, frequent urges, and incomplete emptying.
