    hello all,

    i know some people on here have already posted about this so ill add to it. 5 weeks ago i came back from Maine with my friends, that monday night i went drinking with my friends and tuesday i had loose floating stool accompanied by a constant urge to urinate and a feeling of having to pee mainly in my penis/tip as if i was storing urine there. a little later about a week, I developed ED and couldnt get it up. I believe the ED was from stressing about this feeling however. now its been about 5 weeks and my ED is gone and my libido is back but theres still a nagging feeling that i have to urinate in my penis/tip but the weird part is, when i do get that feeling as if some urine has leaked through, i noticed if i open the tip of my penis slightly to look into the urethra, i can actually see a little bit of what i'm assuming to be urine. the weird part is it never fully comes out, meaning my boxers are dry. i dont really have any pain except maybe a feeling of slight irritation around my waist where my boxer band is as if my hair is being pulled or skin is being rubbed. it also sometimes extends to the front of my body equivalent to my hips. id gauge this to be 2/10 on a pain scale on its worst day. my flow is still pretty normal as well. really my biggest issue is this nagging urge to urinate as if i constantly feel like i have to hold back my urine. its very distracting. ive already taken blood and urine tests and everything is in limits. my PSA is a 1.0 and the only thing off is my glucose is 108 which could be a sign of prediabetes however i didnt fast for that test. i recently took a complete metabolic panel which i fasted for along with covid antibody test and a urine test with a uro but i havent gotten those results back yet. got an ultrasound done and DRE and they said all seems fine. ultrasound found i had a slightly dilated and somewhat tilted left kidney but the uro said thats no cause for alarm and wouldnt cause these issues. he thinks it could be pelvic floor incoordination. i saw a pelvic floor therapist and she said im a little tight but nothing crazy, she said if she had to gauge me im probably a 6/10 tightness. another PT gave me exercises for posterior pelvic tilt and i believe she said im leaning to the left. im not sure what this is but the red flag im seeing is that sometimes i randomly see a minute amount of urine in the urethra which kind of leads me to think incontinence. can anyone here relate and offer suggestions? im not really sure what to think and would like to avoid invasive things like cystoscopy. i also dont know if its related but sometimes, mainly at night, my testicles get itchy and when i scratch them it creates red raised patches that go away after awhile.

    Guys, try distracting your mind.

    This is the only option. I had the same feeling and I posted about it earlier.

    A couple weeks ago I went for a vacation with my friends. I just enjoyed, partied and relaxed.

    It was pretty helpful as I was not focusing on my urine. Since I came back from there, it is a bit better I can say.

    So only one option I see - relax, meditate, exercise and DON'T take any kind of stress. Try being among people and distract your mind. It will take a couple of months to cure.

    Hey guys I am going through the same thing too. Feels like urine at the tip of my penis but there is none. no burning sensation. Its been a week now.

    I was super stressed out with anxiety for a few weeks nonstop while back and I suspect this may have been a contributor. If i find a remedy or cure ill be sure to share.

    I have these exact symptoms for over two years now. The constant feeling there is a very little amount of pee inside the penis. Even when my bladder is empty I need to use the restroom to get relieved. Tried two urologist, different tests (all negative, only thing was slightly enlarged prostate but I was told it is not a big deal and it is not concerning based on my age, 28), AZO, alpha blockers, drinking lots of water, cutting caffeine... nothing worked. It affected my sex life too. Whenever I get an erection I feel there are two drops of pee inside my penis which force me to go pee which is hard when you are hard! a very broken loop. Even when I pee before hand, during that somehow one or two drops find there way in.

    I cannot remember the last time I felt pee in my bladder, there is always a freaking drop inside my penis which makes me uncomfortable all day long. It wakes me up every night and I had to go to restroom for a few drops ... (to all geniuses out there, yes I limited my drinks before bed time and tried cutting caffeine ). For first 26 years of my life, I used to drink a glass of water every night before bed, now I cannot even imagine that.

    I cannot remember the last time I got full 8 hours sleep non-stop. As a result, I am always tired because of lack of good quality sleep, in mornings I am in a horrible mood and cannot get much work done. I hate my life. It is a fg torture everyday for even more than two years. I wish it just ends. I am a successful person given my age (and given a fact I was tired last few years always) with a fantastic family, and it might seems harsh, but I am even thinking about ending this misery and finishing this life 😦(((

    The only part of Internet I was able to find this issue was this forum which does not have any answers. I search every few months to see if there is something new out there but cannot find anything. Fk this f**g life.

      Hi .

      So sorry about the discomfort . I can't imagine having to face this s**t for 2-3 years as mine started just 4 months ago.

      I had the same symptoms like you guys . I did tons of tests and they all came back negative. It kept me worried for months until a fateful day, my neighbour came back from a journey and brought sugarcane as a gift. I am from Africa(Nigeria) and it is the norm to bring back gift items whenever you travel.

      So I ate the sugarcane casually and felt totally relieved that day. I didn't notice it was the sugarcane that brought the relief cos I ate so many other things that day.

      In a quest to investigate what brought about the relief, I started eating everything I ate that day one day at a time.

      To cut the long story short, I noticed that sugarcane was the solution . I went to the market and bought tons of sugarcane. It has been my daily food and the feeling of urine in my penis has gone down to about 98%.

      I feel good and happy . No more pain and discomfort. It works immediately you eat the first cane.

      You guys should give it a try. If you live in the Western world and cant easily get the raw sugarcane, try and buy the juice. hopefully, it will also work.

      Please do come back to give your testimony.

      Sad to hear that you are upset.I have had this feeling for the past 8 years.I started taking alpha blocker tamsulosin and baclofen in the beginning and it helped me to relieve symptoms but after some years symptoms returned.I spoke to another urologist recently and he believed it is prostatitis and prostate inflammation.I think he is right because after hard stool I feel urgent need to pee immediately and this feeling in the head of penis gets strong it shows prostate is the reason of this feeling.He asked me to take antibiotic( likeTavanex 500) for at least 2 months because it is might be bactrial and at the same time to take anti inflammatory pills like celecoxib 100 every 12 hours for inflammation and good news for me is that this prescription worked for me to relieve symptoms of urine feeling in the head of penis and I don't have this feeling in the last 7 days! In addition to these 2 medications,I take tamsulosin extended release Opas and baclofen 25 every night to soften prostate and relax bladder neck muscles and also sit in warm water for 15 minutes. So I recommend you to start taking these 4 pills (anti biotic+celecoxib+tamsulosin Opas+baclofen).I hope it works for you too.It might be temporary cure but anyway it gives me hope that there is something to remove this feeling! of course don't masturbate or ejaculate for some weeks because it might bring symptoms back. Please inform me if it works for you too.
