A 63-year-old man complains of a 6-month history of difficulty voiding and feeling as though he cannot empty his bladder completely. After voiding, he often feels as though he needs to urinate again. He denies a urethral discharge. He has mild hypertension and takes hydrochlorothiazide. His only other medication is ampicillin prescribed for two urinary tract infections during the past year.
