Brief Answer:
prostate is the most common cause
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different causes for your symptoms but with your sex and age, enlargement of the prostate would be the most common or likely cause.
Enlarged prostate can causes painful urination, frequent urination, incomplete urination, incontinence. Prostate enlargement is most usually benign (non cancer)
If your prostate has been assessed with the last few months both by physical examination and blood tests and this is not likely , then other causes should be considered.
The other common causes would be: (1) infection of the urinary tract
(2)presence of mass in some aspect of the urinary tract
(3)stone in the urinary tract
(4)neurological- related to abnormal function of nerves in the area
Full evaluation would require a physical examination, blood tests (PSA, FBC- full blood count, ESR- this checks for inflammation in the body) and possible imaging of the urinary tract by ultrasound.
Treatment would depend on the cause found
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
