This difficulty in emptying the bladder can also mean that there is a need to pee much more often, and waking several times in the night to go."There can also be episodes of a sudden need to pee with some leaking before getting to the toilet, known as urge incontinence.""A blood test should be taken to look at the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels" the expert said.
