    Hi all,

    I've also been experiencing similar symptoms for about a month. I found that mine came on quite suddenly at work, i'd feel the sudden urge to go to the toilet in my penis only and everytime id go id have this weird wet feeling, or feeling that theres still urine inside my penis. It would almost like spasm and id feel that id wet myself but i was completely dry.

    I'm a 25 y/o male, I go gym x3 a week (I havent this month due to the anxiety thats come on from this) and Im in good shape. No previous health problems, in fact this is the first time ive seen a doctor in about 5-6 years.

    Anyway, after a few weeks it wasn't as bad but i consistently get this wet feeling at the tip of my penis or feel just generally uncomfortable. Sometimes it varies and i get really hot and almost moist down there. When i empty my bladder its like my penis is still contracting or that its not fully empty. Its quite hard to explain to be honest but a lot of these posts seem to match up to what im experiencing. I notice when im at home just chilling out, especially laying down I rarely feel anything, however if im socialising or travelling on the train/car, the feeling comes back. I also feel completely fine just before Im about to go to bed. I also sometimes get bloated, have lower back pain & feel a bit sick after urinating - not sure if these are as a result of this problem or anxiety related.

    Ive done a UTI dip test, Urinalysis & STI check and all are clear. I have an ultrasound booked in a weeks time but i suspect that this is also going to come back clear too. My next step is to either consult a urologist or perhaps see if this is mentally related?

    The hardest part for me I think is the mental side. The physical symptoms themselves just cause me discomfort but the feeling that I dont know whats wrong with me nor what the exact cure is just drives me insane. I feel i have to keep googling my symptoms every day and i dont think that can be good for me.

    Anyway, what im doing so far is:

    Kegel exercises - Not sure if theyre directly related to my issue, but apparently they can just be good in general and theyre not really taxxing nor time consuming. I do about 3 sets of 10 reps a day of just tensing the muscle for 3 seconds.

    Drinking 2L+ Water - I find it makes me go to the toilet a lot more, but im not experiencing the feeling as much and i feel a bit more relieved after I urinate possibly?

    Pelvic floor stretches - If i don't have an infection then it could be something that could simply just be made better by potentially sorting out my pelvic floor. I try do some stretches 3 times a day that I just got off YouTube.

    What im now trialling after reading this post is:

    Dipping the head of my penis into warm/hot water after peeing (someone above recommended this as a cure, so thanks to them)

    Drinking lots of cranberry juice. Some doctors say this hasnt been proven, but it cant hurt right?

    Happy to chat to anyone going through this too, discuss things we've found out and what might help. On a more positive side, it seems so many people drop off this post. If they went through the trouble to set up an account and post - then they must've found peace with their troubles!

      do you also feel slight discomfort in your testicles?

    • Posted

      maybe a little tingling feeling every now and then, but im not sure if thats due to the cold perhaps?

    • Posted

      this drives me mad also i feel pee on the tip of my penis and go toilet alot all tests clear im going insane they just dont have a spesific cure to this but some people had some positive outcomes out of what they experienced im hoping it will be the same for us one day

    • Posted

      i also feel sick after urinating somehow sometimes feel like i need to puke sometimes i actually puke when i eat all my tests come out to be clear, but i feel the urge to urinate on the tip and there is no spesific cure its something doctors get so confused abt i hope we all end this madness one day

      i also get slight discomfert a lil but of aching around my bladder or on the tops its wierd

    • Posted

      Do you think being sick is anxiety based? Perhaps the ordeal of having relief and then anticipating the feeling coming back is making you sick? If not, Id hazard a guess youve got prostatitis

    • Posted

      but ive done so many tests they all came out negative if i had prostatitis wouldnt doctors know

    • Posted

      maybe its anxiety related, i was thinking of possibly asking to either go down that route with the doctors if my ultrasound comes back negative

      im going to go gastrology to check my digestive systems to see if its anything stomach,gas or digestiverelted if thats nrgative i will go to a neurologist to see if its nerve related if thats negative i'll go to an urologist and explain my symptoms in detail again by this process im taking betmiga pills rn bec doctor suspected OAB and im also drinking Natural home made mint tea to flush anything in my system out if there is anything this is truely hard to deal with i just cried a few mins ago then reminded myself to check the website i just wanna pee normally again thats all i want the fact that im 17 didnt experience 90% of life yet and have this gets on my nerves cause im scared i will never be cured but i also have hope i pray to god i beg to god iswell lets see what time will bring me, i think i also have erectile disfunction i didnt get erected for so long and my penis feels so weak iswell but thats a totally different problem then me not peeing normal they arent related even tho they are from the same organ & atleast ik that Erectile disfunction is curable and after cured its stronger then before the main issue is the way the penis functions which the symptoms are

      1)frequent urge to pee

      2)always feeling the pee on the tip of penis

      3)barely getting any pee out just a little bit but i still feel reliefed and compfy

      and all of these repeat through out the day

      do you masturbate alot? like everyday?

      I'm 17 too and I'm having the same problems. I ejaculated a week ago and felt a little pain in my lower abdomen. Let me know if you have the same symptom. I'm scared and hope it's not related to prostate.

      also,I talked to a friend who had similar symptoms a few years ago. He suggested me to practice kegal exercises which I'm gon' do from tomorrow. He said that it help him recover pretty quickly. I think we should try it too.

    • Edited

      I'm scared too. I have noticed two 'ulcer-like' cuts on the tip of my foreskin. They don't hurt when on touching but sometimes cause itching and sensation on their own. Can you guide me about it?

    • Posted

      did you have testicular,penis,groin or back pain too?

    • Posted

      Hey, I had it yesterday and i'll get my results in a week. To be honest, I've felt good this week purely because im starting to give less attention to my symptoms. Im not letting it take over my life anymore and im just learning to deal with things, which really makes a difference I think. I dont necessarily think im cured or my symptoms are a lot better, but i'm not ruled by whatever this is at the moment. One thing ive noticed is that I think my symptoms are worse a day after I masturbate/edge, so im not doing that anymore. Luckily I have a partner and sex doesnt seem to cause any issues. Im not sat here researching the depths of the internet trying to work out what this is, because it just creates a horrible loop that sucks us all in, id recommend not googling symptoms anymore, as hard as it is. Although this page provides a safe haven, Id possibly give this a rest as well and just focus on other things in life. Im trusting that things will get better over time and if doctors arent too worried, then neither should I. Hopefully this might provide some perspective but I totally get its a lot easier said then done.
