3. Urinary incontinence: Loss of control over urination.
4. Acute urinary retention: This may occur when the prostate gland and bladder neck become congested and swollen due to triggers such as cold exposure, alcohol consumption, or physical exertion. The patient experiences extreme bladder distension, pain, frequent urinary urges, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping.
5. Hematuria: The amount of bleeding is usually intermittent, with occasional large hematuria where blood clots fill the bladder, requiring urgent treatment.
