Do I have a urethral blockage?
10 days ago, I began experiencing a brief but sharp pain at the tip of my penis upon beginning a urine stream. (When I wasn’t urinating, I felt completely normal and pain-free.) On the fourth day of having this urination pain, I went to the clinic and provided a urine sample. The doctor called back the next day and said that my sample was “completely normal.” Finally, the pain went away, so I chalked it up to an injury.
I resumed sexual activity this past Saturday, and after ejaculating, I noticed that it was very difficult to begin urination. Things were back to normal yesterday. But this morning, after having sex with my wife I couldn’t pee for like 90-minutes. (I though I was going to have to go to the ER to get catheterized.) Finally, I was able to pass urine but it was difficult to maintain normal flow without straining, and it’s remained that way since. I’ve been drinking fluids all day to increase urination, in order to get things back to normal.
It can’t be a kidney stone blockage, because there was no blood in my urine, and I had no stone symptoms.
It also can’t be an STD.
I’m only 32-years old, so I doubt it could be prostate cancer or BPH. Back in March I was actually screened for prostate cancer as part of the blood work for my annual physical examination. All my blood work (CMP) came back great, and I was told that I’m a young healthy guy.
At first, I thought I irritated my urethra with soap, or perhaps injured it during sex/masturbation, and that maybe after the pain passed, I reaggravated the injury with sexual activity. But now I’m not so sure.
What is going on here?
I should add that I realize that it is normal to experience some urinary difficulty for a SHORT while after ejaculation. For some reason, it is especially difficult lately. It FEELS different. I sense normal bladder pressure and the urine travelling through my urethra and than just stopping. Eventually, I am able to initiate a urine stream, but near the end I have to strain with my abdominal muscles to make sure I empty my bladder.
Get 2nd opinion from an experienced medical doctor urologist, pref at a major teaching hospital.
Examining this w/ a urine sample seems grossly inadequate.
It’s normal to have difficulty peeing immediately after an orgasm and ejaculation because the valving system in your inner sex machine tightens the muscle that keeps urine in the bladder to prevent urine from seeping and contaminating your semen. It also makes the semen project out the penis end instead of allowing it to go into the bladder instead. The difficulty in peeing usually ends within 15 to 30 min. after ejaculating.
If the tip of your penis was blocking the flow, the urethra would pressure up when you went to urinate and you would feel it expanding.
I suspect that your prostate gland is swelling and constricting the flow of urine which travels in your urethra, through the center of the prostate gland. If you become sexually stimulated for long periods of time, like being turned on and teased for extended time before orgasm and ejaculation, or edging for an hour or two and then coming off, the gland can swell for a coupe of days. Incomplete release of the portion of semen from this gland can cause swelling for a couple of days. It doesn’t mean cancer or anything dangerous, just swelling.
The part of the semen from the prostate gland can become really thick in consistency if being turned on and holding back from release takes place and the longer you hold back or get teased, the thicker it can become. It thins down in a couple of days where incomplete release takes place and your going to be all OK again after you ejaculate. Just don’t go with a long drawn out cession again for a few days.
Something that contains what we call licopines reduces prostate swelling or inflammation quickly. Some foods that contain licopines are tomatoes, particularly ketchup, tomato paste like in spaghetti and meat balls, and tomato paste is used allot on pizza, ruby red grapefruit, water melon and other colored foods like red bell peppers.
A zinc supplement is great for your prostate health on going, and for immediate relief of a swelling condition like being inflamed, take two Advil gel…as in the green ones… only take 2 you have been already noticing problems peeing and your already done sex as in ready to sleep. The anti inflammatory action of the Advil will take down the inflammation quickly and you will be able to pee freely come morning. Advil has no negative sexual side effects and won’t interfere with sex the next day were Aspirin may interfere with sex neurology of some guys for up to a week after using it. It can block the ability or orgasm for some guys because it interferes with the feeling pleasure to orgasm link. Advil does not have that interference quality and leave you good to go when it wears off by the next morning.
Anything going on along the urethra including the prostate region can often be felt at the end of the penis head because the nerves of this system all work together and the penis head is where your greatest feelings are experienced.
Check out the link below. It goes into some of what I typed about. Some it does not cover. It’s primarily from a what you can take point of view.
This is not a serious condition and your going to run into it on and off based on conditions at the time and how you have sex. You also need to have enough sex as not going around over charged up.
Take care of yourself Man
Me! :- )
