Far more common than prostate cancer is benign prostate enlargement. It does slow down the urine stream and it does eventually happen to most men sometime after half a century.

They could consult a doctor and get checked for some occasional problems that happen if the bladder is not fully emptied due to the enlagement. They can order an ultrasound to see how it is going.
