What you are experiencing is called intermittent decreased urine stream.  Intermittent decreased urine stream is a diminished, reduced or less forceful steam of urine that occurs on and off.


Some possible causes are listed below.  


  • urinary tract infection -- this is the most likely cause.  It's fairly common, and you have already stated that the drugs have helped.  It's likely you need to give the drugs more time.  Again, ask a doctor for confirmation

  • Parkinson's disease

  • herniated disc

  • multiple sclerosis

  • spina bifida

  • urethral stricture -- this is the abnormal narrowing of the urethra, which is the tube that allows urine to pass out of the body. It could be caused by inflammation or injury.  An injury might cause scar tissue to build up and narrow the passageway.  

  • Bladder stones

The above list is not exhaustive, and some of the items listed are quite low in possibility.  A medical professional is your best bet.
