Does prostate cancer cause the problem of a thin urine stream?

Patient's question:

Does prostate cancer cause a thin urine stream? Yesterday I worked the night shift, high intensity, and this morning I immediately felt something was wrong. Why is my urine so little, the stream is very thin, and it doesn't feel completely empty. Then I drank a lot of water. An hour later, it was still the same—weak urine flow and very little. I want to ask what's going on. It can't be an intestinal obstruction due to prostate cancer.

Doctor's answer:

Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the return characters kept as they are:
"Based on your current urination situation, it is possible that there is a recurring issue with the prostate. However, since you are still young, there is no need to worry about prostate cancer. But since your urination is not normal, it would be a good idea to visit the urology department of a hospital for a thorough examination. After the doctor’s examination, the specific cause can be identified, and then targeted treatment can be administered. Many prostate conditions can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the specific symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for extended periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene."
