Men And Urination

[TheDevil]

Sometimes when i am urinating my flow comes to a stop but i feel i could push out a bit more urine. If i decide, nah i'll leave it then i may dribble a little bit darn me frunt of me boxers.

If I try get the last bit out I have to clear my mind and allow my body to relax before some more urine comes out but after it does, that's usually it.

However, no matter how I shake and dance a drop end on me pants!

Does anyone else have this issue or do i need to see a doctor.

Prostates can be fun.

"I've now got an image of someone standing at a public urinal, pants round ankles."

Is that why I get funny looks is it?

No, yes, no, yes... It's more like 30 seconds for me. I like to over exaggerate a bit.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, I got that from your 'large willy' reference ;-)

[TheDevil]

Oh no, that one wasn't an exaggeration!

Have you noticed, TD, how a wee bit of humour has dribbled in to this thread? But, hey ho, that should be water under the bridge, or a drop in the ocean. Just try to shake it off.

[TheDevil]

I find a light trickle of humour can help me relax in such situations

[Old_Geezer]

It's the sort of thing we ought to be called in for, for regular check-ups, but we aren't. The present system seems to be to put the onus of the patient to decide when they fancy a good prodding to go ask nicely. So unsurprisingly it doesn't get done regularly. It's an embarrassment to ask. But it sounds like it'd be worth you biting the bullet.

I think any age is 'prostate age' so get it checked anyway.

I have biopsies that reveal that I have an enlarged prostate, and I a finding myself urinating more often during the day, although I sill almost never need to have a wee in the middle of the night.

I know you've googled it The Devil, but just check through this list of symptoms in case others do apply to you. You might just feel it warrants a 10 minute GP appointment after all......

Newton's Fourth Law of Motion states "However much you shake it, the last drop always goes down your leg" ;-)

Benign prostate enlargement and prostate cancer both generally affect men over 50 but they can occur at an earlier age. I ignored the signs of a prostate problem for a couple of years (always putting it on my 'to do' list but never getting any further than that) until I found that, despite desperately wanting to pee, I couldn't urinate at all. I (madly) still didn't seek help for ages, going 11 days without urinating (and hardly sleeping or eating either throughout that period) before ending up in hospital with near total kidney failure a year ago. 12 days ago I had a prostate op and I'm now slowly learning to pee normally again (but not without any 'accidents').

Don't be a fool like me. Get it checked out!

[Theland]

Wear dark pants.

When you go for the internal if you can feel both of the doctors hands on your shoulders you are in bad trouble!

[Theland]

Or of he tells you to put your clothes on top of his.

a doctor once told me that it's better to pee standing than sitting because it empties the bladder better and is one reason why men get cystitis less than women. I don't know if this is true (different urethra length may also be involved)

[woofgang]

Not just a different length Jno but a different pathway. I don't think standing or sitting has anything to do with it.

Lang may yer rum leak...

[rowanwitch]

If you are young with those symptoms you really need to see your GP sooner rather than wait for more problems. A PSA blood test is worth having. It's rare but prostate cancer can affect younger men. More likely an infection or a benign condition

could be, woofgang, I may be overly inclined to trust doctors.
