strange sensation end of penis after shower/night time
Posted , 3 users are following.
I'm 34, male and for more than 2 months now I've been experiencing some strange, vague symptoms which are actually hard to describe as there is no pain or anything severe physically.
It's like a very slight urge to pee which is more prominent at night and can disturb my sleep. I wake up around 3/4 am on and off for these 2 months with that slight sensation. But also during showering I'll sort of pee a few drops, a few times. After showering I can feel this strange sensation at the end of my penis, as if there's still some urine in there waiting to come out...really confusing.
My actual urination frequency is largely normal, that's volumes (about 2-2.5l a day) and number of times I'm going (4-5 times/day), it's just that at night time I keep waking up at these odd times even though I didn't drink anything before bed.
I've had urianalysis samples done 4 times, all normal, tested my blood glucose level several times using home testing kits before/after meals and that's normal too. I then finally had a DRE and to my surprise, the doctor said it was enlarged however it was very smooth and normal in that regard. I didn't expect someone my age to have this but the doctor wasn't overly concerned about it and said it's not abnormal and this can happen and it's nothing hugely to worry about. Nevertheless I asked for a PSA.
I've never had pain or burning or straining when peeing and there's no pain whatsoever anywhere else which is why I'm confused. I thought if an enlarged prostate or prostate infection was causing me issues I would have more noticeable symptoms, like pain during urination, weak flow etc. but that's all normal.
Doctor thinks that my symptoms are more likely due to a slight over-active bladder than anything else.

Good morning. If the doctor is not worried relax. It could be a lot of thing. There are a lot of stuff that will irritate the bladder. You had a bunch of test that are all fine. Try to watch what you are eating. See how much sale is in it. Also watch how much you are drinking before you go to bed. Just don't worry it can be something simple. Good luck Ken

I don't know I'm trying to relax but I've always been so healthy and never had any issues, let alone sleep or urinary issues.

I know as we get older we all have to deal with the issues. Most of the time the prostate starts to grow at around 40. Your a little younger. But I still say it something your eating or drinking. Do you drink beer. Do you use a lot of salt. Next time you see your urologist. Ask him for the list of foods that irritate the bladder. It does help. Try not to eat any kind of progress food. There are many thing's that you can do. It will be ok. Ken
