What Causes A Weak Urine Stream?

My urine stream is increasingly getting less, like there is something blocking. At first it was just in the middle of the night when I would get up to go to the bathroom, it was a very light stream, but once I got up in the morning and moved around it seemed to work itself out. Now it s all the time. Sometimes it s a light stream and takes longer and sometimes it s like a hose that someone puts there thumb on and comes out with some pressure. This has been going on for a few months and I just keep thinking my Grandma had a light stream as she got older and this is my new life or maybe a kidney stone that s trying to work itself out. I have talked to my doctor about this and he referred me to a uralogist but I would prefer not to go and waste his time if it s not necessary. Opinion? Linda Whittekiend
