Hi,
I have gone through your query.
From the symptoms you have mentioned, most probably you have enlarged prostate. This condition is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). It is most common in older age group and cause urinary stream hesitancy, intermittency or Dribbling. Pain is usually not present.
Don't worry, you do not have Kidney Failure.
I advise you to have investigation like PSA level and Ultrasound of lower abdomen. You consult a local surgeon for clinical examination.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
