Constant feeling in head of penis to urinate

I have a lot of the symptoms people have been describing on here. I remember somebody here (could have been another forum, because I could not find their post) bringing up sensormotor OCD. If it was this forum where that person brought this up, can you please get in touch with me? Also I think everyone here should look into sensormotor OCD as I believe there is a good chance this is the cause for the problem we have been having. This constant urge to pee feeling is still quite new to me (compared to some of the people on here) - about 1 month. I found distracting myself by watching TV can reduce the urge quite a bit and just in general not worrying about it (I know easier said then done). I don't have much else to say, aside from that so far. I will try to remember to report back on here if I find any new ways to reduce the urge. Good luck to everyone here.

Anyone have success using Tamsulosin (Flomax) to treat this? Just started 5 days ago and side effects are strange. Retrograde ejaculation is really weird, plus increased heart rate.

Im so relieved to find this support group. Reading all these replies and symptoms is like the everyday struggle I've been also dealing with for almost 5 months now. Symptoms came on suddenly and although I was masturbating every day and having intercourse with my wife(Not as much) Never any pain or burning. I did have some premature ejaculation going on and was trying to do the edging technique. My ejaculate I did notice wasn't as strong leading up to the start date of pain.

So had sudden onset of burning pain in the tip of my penis and to mid way down the right side and thought it was a UTI, Went to my urologist who started me on Bactrim x 2 weeks. That only helped minimally so was put on Tamsulosin(Flomax) x 2 weeks. Agree, the retrograde ejaculation was weird but stayed with it for 2 weeks but pain was still there. Urologist put me on Doxycyline for 2 weeks and had minimal success with pain relief like the other meds for maybe 5 days and then right back to square 1. At this point he sent me for a kidney, bladder and prostate ultrasound which all came back with normal results. The next step he said was to do a cystoscopy since he was running out of ideas. I agreed to it but he didn't give enough time for numbing gel to work and i told him to stop after he got maybe half way in. He did tell me he didn't see a stricture which was a relief. He decided to put me on Ciproflaxin for 1 month! I agreed since was getting nowhere. Cipro worked for a longer time than the other meds but after a couple of weeks i could feel symptoms returning slowly.

All this time and I too have that feeling that there's either something stuck in the tip of my penis and have this wet feeling almost like excessive ball sweat or swamp ass or that I still have a few drops of urine that need to be shaken out. I do have some drippage after urinating, even if shake for a good while after peeing. I actually feel ok after peeing and shaking off but like 5 minutes after I get that same feeling in the tip and when i check there is still some dripping. When i do exercises or busy running around doing stuff the pain doesnt seem to be there but it returns almost every time after I urinate.

So the Urologist said he thought that I have weak pelvic floor muscles and he sent me for physical therapy.

BTW, Im 49 and in pretty decent shape. Im not overweight, I routinely do planks and pushups and constantly on the move with my teenagers and help practice with their sports. I've been seeing a PT that specializes in pelvic floor issues and he has me doing some kegel exercises and he does biofeedback on me which is a rectal insert that localizes the muscles of you pelvic floor and tells you how well you are using them or not so they can adjust your exercise plan. Only been going about a month or so and Im still 50/50 if its actually helping.

I have a 2nd opinion with another urologist next month to get his take on this whole awful experience. My original urologist never did a digital rectal exam or PSA test which I found odd. Not even advanced imaging like MRI or CT. I am going push for this on my 2nd opinion.

My wife has been very understanding through this time too. Been very standoffish on having sex, even masturbating. When I do masturbate its great but after I ejaculate i do have more semen that leaks out even 10-15 minutes later.

This is actually helping a lot writing down my story and struggle. I'm sorry that any of you are struggling too. Please let me know if I can answer any questions and I will also look for any advice from the group. Hoping that a mixture of time and the right exercises or_____ will finally be the answer.

hi guys, these symptoms sound so familiar, ive felt the same for the past three months or so. Basically constantly needed to pee with very little coming out when i do and with a constant feeling at the end / head of my penis with needing to pee.

After all UTI / blood tests were clear I was referred to a urologist who did an upper urinary tract ultrasound and urine flow test. The result of this was that I was retaining urine due to detrusor bladder neck dyssynergia which is an issue with muscles at the bladder neck which means i can't empty my bladder fully. For this i was prescribed Tamsulosin (Flomax) however this has made little or no difference. In fact i felt this made the feeling of needing to go worse.

The worst part of it all is the feeling of needing to go at night when lying in bed. I can hardly get to sleep on my own and have required sleeping medication regularly.

Wanted to post an update, hopefully this helps others. I have been treating my problem as pelvic floor disfunction, and have been getting some good results. Each say I spend around 40 mins doing pelvic stretches and reverse kegal exercises to open up and stretch my pelvic floor.

As my symptoms started due to excessive masturbation and edging I think I have have strained my pelvic floor muscles.

Anyway this has gave me quite a bit of relief. I no longer have constant urges to pee and the feeling of urine stuck in my penis has subsided quite a bit.

Symptoms that still seems to occur:

Softer erections.

I cant really stay hard without constant stimulation .

When im hard and go soft.. or I ejeculate my penis feels sore/ stained after.

Sex/ masturbation makes everything a lot worse !

Also I work out quite a bit and have noticed abs exercises makes everything worse.

Hi Guys,

Firstly I can't believe i found a group of men who have this issue that no doctor seems to be able to treat.

I have had this issue for 2 years and tried absolutely everything here. I've done all Tests prostate, blood etc,... and even had a cystoscopy and it was all clear. Where it is now getting better is through Physiotherapy and mobilising/Strengthening my hips. I have inflamed ligaments in my Adductors/hips where the Pudendal/Perineal nerve flows through. The result is compressed nerves which results in me having this ungodly mind numbing penis condition. The compressed nerves are what make the sensation and being able to strengthen the muscles around it have greatly improved my quality of life.

Google Herman Wallace Dysfunction in Glans Penis. this explains what im talking about.

Anyway my Symptoms are on the Mend and it came down to Ligaments and Compressed Nerves.
