Do any of you suffer with this? ill urinate and then have to milk my penile urethra because there will be urine left over in there. its even worse when I push the last bits out. Also, I seem to leak a lot of post ejaculate too. I can leak 1-2 hours after ejaculation. Thanks.
You might have what many of us have: urinary retention. See a urologist.
its only after i void. ive had the scan and i retain between 20-50mls.
but i also have a huge amount of pressure on my
bladder when there is very little in there
You may have a urethral stricture, I have had that problem since my urolift procedure and had a stricture. Pooling of ejaculate and for sure urinating. Now self dilating daily with instrument they gave me. Hopefully will resolve. Good luck
I had a cystoscope last september that showed my urethra to be healthy. But 3 months after the flexible scope I starts being unable to empty my urethra fully. I believe that the scope has caused a stricture. My previous urologist said It would be very rare with only an examination. but my new urologist wants to take another look.
It’s the fact that I can feel the urine move down my urethra but then it feels like it gets stuck. This is when im pushing the last few bits out. My flow alters between 10-20ml/s. Makes no sense. I think the stricture is 1/2 down from the opening of my urethra.
does your stricture sometimes sting when urine is pooped around it, and the same with semen?
20-50ml retention is not bad. You might have a mild obstruction somewhere, or your bladder is slightly weakened. A small dose of alpha blocker may help if it’s the bladder. Mild obstruction is too early for any intervention imho.
Robert, can you elaborate on the dialating instrument ? Name, size, disposable ? Thanks.
Mine was called a meatal stricture - right behind the head of the penis. Yes can feel the urine flowing and sometimes feel the urethra collapse and stop the flow
Its basically a large looking toothpick- about 5 inches long, plastic and reusable . I use a sterile lubricant and sometimes lidocaine gel anesthetic prior to use.
I believe i have the same as you. I don’t feel it collapse but the flow is very weak at the end. pelvis hurts when i push the last bits out. does it hurt to dialate? have you been offered surgery?
Maybe a tight pelvic floor is contributing to your issues. I know that after I urinate, if I consciously relax my pelvic floor, I can shake out the last bit of urine.
Do you have much left over in the ureathra? urodynamics test shows an obstruction but they dont know what it is. its suspected its my bladder neck. I think ive gotten the stricture from the scope. so i am now dealing with two problems. it would explain why urine burns right at the top of the ureathra sometimes. and why there is so much left over
No name ? I’d like to try it out.
Trying this first. Uncomfortable but bearable.
Dr gave me it at the office but you can try to search meatal dilator- not expensive
can you see your stricture? does it also help increase your urine flow and stop the dripping?
After dilated it improved urine flow and no dripping. Cant see it but just know its there. When dilating you’ll get the resistance as the dilator moves thru it
I just sent for 2 silicone dialators of different sizes from Ebay. These are much longer than yours and believe it or not, some are using them for pleasure.
So the stricture keeps coming back? not sure i want to keep doing this for the rest of my life. I’ll have to enquire about a urethalplasty if this is the case. They never warned me about this risk and never told me the urologist doing it was a trainee. They can put it right.
