Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostatitis / February 2004Few drips after urinating...
Lurker here. 27 year old male, experiencing some slight problems. 1) After urinating, there is always one drip or two that comes out when i'm walking around or when i sit down/stand up. When urinating, I can stand for another 30 seconds and shake the rest off (making sure i'm finished) but it's difficult to get it all. 2) I notice the same problem (for awhile now) when I ejaculate after sex. A fair amount comes out, but about 2-3 minutes after ejaculation, a little more squeezes out. An enlarged prostate? A narrow urethra? I've had the ejaculation problem long before this urine thing. I should also mention that i do have anal sex occassionally with my girlfriend, and I read that could lead to an enlarged prostate. thanks for any thoughts. I have no other pains, burning, stds or anything. > Lurker here. 27 year old male, experiencing some slight problems. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > I have no other pains, burning, stds or anything. I'm surprised this question didn't get a response. Does anyone else have these symptoms? Or is this so commonplace that everyone just takes it for granted? I asked my urologist about it and he said that the prostate causes the dribble. I probably should have asked him to elaborate, but I didn't. Does anyone know what causes the delayed dribble? And if anything can be done to eliminate it? I find it annoying to have a wet spot in my underwear after I pee. Lurker, I have the same problem, but I'm 52. Sorry to see that you have it at your age. After visits to many urologists, I was told by one guy that seemed to know his stuff that this is a problem that is caused by the muscles and their inability to squeeze everything out thoroughly. Basically you wind up with a very small amount of urine/sperm that is retained and when you relax, it comes out. I squeeze and then relax as much as possible after urinating instead of really trying to continually squeeze and get every last drop. That seems to work for me. He also started me on Hytrin which seemed to help a bit as well. He also told me that there really wasn't any way to fix it. I didn't like it, but I think he gave me an honest answer. I would be interested if anyone knows anything else. >> Lurker here. 27 year old male, experiencing some slight problems. >> [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >be done to eliminate it?

Why it happens? Generally things that aren't pathologic aren't "explored" because there's no real reason to expend valuable research efforts to a minor nuisance issue. It's not a big deal. Happens to me. Just 'wait for the shake', and if it's more than that, just expect/anticipate it. It's not a sign/symptom of CPPS or better said it's not unique to CPPS patients. Adios Muchachos. SG > "Spoonful disease"... When you're done there's still a spoonful > left... I think those few drops left over are harmless. A few drops never hurt anyone and I had it well before I ever started having problems. I was thinking though? Isn't that left over urine trapped between the internal sphincter and external sphincter? Isn't this the area where the prostate gland meets the urethra? If so, why couldn't that urine backflow into the prostate? If that trapped urine continually shot back into the prostate, and this happened year after year, might this be one of the reasons for a higher white blood cell count in asymptomatic men and the calcification in older men? I recall one study claiming that in some cases calcification had urine particles in it.

Where'd you read that? Hustler? Not a scientific publication, I'll wager. That's nonsense. There are bad things that can happen from penetrative anal intercourse, of course, but 'enlarged prostate' is not one of them, unless it's associated with a raging case of acute bacterial prostatitis... SG I have the same problem. Does this ever go away? Is there any way to strenghten the muscles? I'm 36 and this is really bothering me!

Normal sex does not lead to an enlarged prostate. That's really silly. But, with that being said, your backdoor activity could lead to an e.coli infection which could wind-up enlarging your prostate. No? Hey! Let's do some math today boy's! Grab your pencils, ( no pun intended there, so get your mind out of the gutter. ) E.coli + rectum + urethra = e.coli in contact with urethra. You get an "A+" for passing the quiz...........la la la ........:::::::::::::::byyyeeeeeeeeee. ( Oh great! I forgot my way home? Excuse me...sir?

When I ejaculate, I infect some part of my anatomy with some other part - I haven't decided yet which parts, but this causes me to drip a fair bit after urinating. And it has a stronger odour when this infection - whatever - is present. I take some antibiotic, usually a single dose of zithromax and 5 to 7 days of Erythrocin(sp?) and it goes away - both the stronger odour and the excess dribbles. Years ago, when I was getting thoroughly examined by my wife's gynecologist because she (my wife) could not get pregnant, I asked about the piddle dribs. She stuck an expert finger wa-a-a-y up my rectum and pronounced me to have a "varicose seal" on my bladder. Funny how it seems to be cured temporarily by the zithromax ??? |
