Your question is not clear...defects? prostata? Are you really asking what the symptoms of an enlarged prostate are? Since I am not sure what you are asking, I will give you a brief overview:

A man's prostate starts to enlarge after the age of 40. The medical term is BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia. As the gland grows, because it surrounds the urethra (the tube urine passes through to exit the body), it puts pressure on the urethra making it hard for the man to urinate.

Symptoms are:
weak urine stream especially when starting and stopping urine flow
difficulty starting urination
dribbling of urine, especially after urinating
a feeling that your bladder didn't empty
urine leakage
frequent urination
a strong and sudden desire to urinate, especially at night
blood in urine

Doctors like to be conservative when it comes to treatment. They will just monitor the situation because often the symptoms will improve without treatment. For moderate symptoms, medication is started asap. For severe symptoms, surgery is recommended.
