Many men as they age have a more difficult time voiding. Seeing a local urologist would be best to determine if you have a prostate enlargement issue (most common) or some other reason leading to your difficulties.
The differential diagnosis would be the following:
1) Neurogenic bladder dysfunction: directly from bladder injury physical, muscular or nerves, spine or other neurologic injuries.
2)BPH or enlarged prostate (most common)
3)Urethral strictures or scar tissue (common after infections)

You need to see a urologist. May have an enlarged prostate.

In a 54-year-old man, the most likely issue is an enlarged prostate. There are, however, many other causes. Initially, you should see your primary care doctor, but if there are further issues or questions, then see a urologist.
Yes you should see a urologist. The most common cause in men is an enlarged prostate.
