Hi Margaret,

 

Thanks for your question.  Here are a couple resources that might help you out:

 

Frequent Urination

 

Weak Stream

 

The symptoms your husband is describing are some of the most common symptoms of enlarged prostate.  You should have him talk to his doctor or a urologist; if it is enlarged prostate (also called BPH), there are a variety of treatments available.

 

Hope this helps!

Dan
