Did the weaker stream start soon after taking up tennis again? That could have spiked up inflamation which can definitely be an issue. Stop tennis for two weeks and take ibuprofin during that time. Then see if your stream has improved.

@connect4321 Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't realize how much the wrong types of exercise could cause massive inflammation. I just thought that since I didn't see any blood in my urine that it was okay to play tennis. I'm already peeing a little better after 4 days off from tennis.

Something interesting to note: A few months ago after I had my cystoscopy (which determined I needed my large median lobe removed) I got all the symptoms of an UTI. I had played tennis the day after my scope and evidently my prostate is very sensitive to anything poking around there. I thought for sure I had a UTI as I had all the symptoms (burning sensation, difficulty peeing) but the urine culture came up negative. I assumed that the urine analysis might be incorrect as the PA said I could still have a UTI deep in my prostate which doesn't always show up in the urine analysis. But now that this has happened again (after the surgery), I see clearly that it was the tennis that caused all my problems. I play singles and I run hard on the courts which can be very jarring. I waited to play tennis about 3 weeks after the surgery and evidently it was not long enough of a wait.
