Current Events > Man I am 22 years old but have urination problems.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It takes more effort than it used to. Occasionally I can pee pretty much normal but often it takes a little bit more effort to start and maintain a stream. Nothing extreme.

Like I never get pain or the inability to urinate and generally I empty my bladder well enough. But my urination is definitely weaker/slower than it was years ago.

Its been a gradual thing I think. I largely stopped standing to pee years ago and its rare for me to be able to unleash one of those oh so satisfying long lasting, loud and strong torrents. But its definitely been a very gradual decline though my memory of something as mundane as urination gets fuzzier each further year in the past I try to remember.

maybe my genetics suck ass and I am getting an enlarged prostate already.

Or maybe I did something(habitually perhaps) that fucked up the muscles used in urination.

You should really see a doctor. You're only 22.

I'll trade you my heart palpitations and anxiety for your pee issues

Sorry TC that sucks. I have a small bladder so whenever I get to my destination and it's been something like a 40 min drive or more, I have to go bad. Movies are difficult to sit through. Long car rides require frequent stops, even if it means pissing off the side of the road.

sounds like an enlarged prostate TC.

I'll go to the clinic and have them run a lab test on an urine sample just to be sure. The worst case scenario might be an enlarged prostate or some signs of kidney distress.

I strongly doubt its my kidneys.

I do not have diabetes and I am an extremely light drinker. Also no heart issues and blood pressure is fine.

I have had maybe 2-3 dozen 5% alcohol content drinks in the last year and half.

Yeah get checked ASAP. Having it feel hard to urinate at your age is bad.

I have pretty much always had urination issues.

Used to be I had to go too much.

Now I am normal in frequency I think. Just at the high end of frequency for normal.

And as I said its been a gradual change over years. I dont usually wake to urinate.

I am ashamed to admit but I once I had an infection in my outer colon, and the doctor gave me a few rim shots and the infection went down.

I wouldn't talk about that on here. Say something CE doesn't like and they're gonna spend the next few years mocking you about pissing yourself.

lets be fair, the poster you're referencing is a troll and people mock him for that because it makes him leave a thread.

TC isn't known for being an unlikable and obnoxious poster so he's safe

Get thee to a urologist, could be an enlarged prostate, could be any number of things.

How many glasses of water do you drink a day?

Also if you are on any meds then check if those meds are interfering with it like I heard for example that antidepressives can hinder urination.

I drink a lot of water. Not an extreme amount but generally a glass or two at night, a glass when I wake up and a glass or four through the day depending on what I eat and the tempature as well as whether or not I drink other fluids(mostly milk) during the day.

No long term meds.

Largely just the occasional basic painkiller or pepto.

TC its an enlarged prostate, go to a doctor and have it checked out. it could be nothing, a minor infection, or it could be prostate cancer. best to get it looked at.

It's still fucked up though. gunplagirl and Sayoria troll/used to troll a lot, but you wouldn't just sling transgender slurs at them to make them leave a thread.
