Problems urinating after ejaculation
by Donato, Apr 14, 2005 12:00AM
After I ejaculate, I generally can't urinate immediately afterward. This normally isn't a huge problem, but sometimes my bladder goes crazy and I have to pee a lot. A few times, I have had to pee really bad shortly after ejaculating. In these cases, I waited a while, but I still couldn't pee at all; after suffering for quite a long time (around 30 min.-1hour), I was finally able to expel urine. It seems the worse I have to pee, the longer I have to wait before I finally can.
I have carried this fear around for a while of not being able to pee after ejaculation, and I fear it might interfere with my future sexual activities. This fear is in part exacerbated by having a slight case of "shy bladder syndrome," and in part by having to urinate a lot more frequently now (I plan on seeing a doctor soon to see if I have a urinary tract infection or some other thing making me feel the urge to urinate so much... I wake up at least once a night, usually more, to pee. I don't tend to expell that much urine either.)
Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Tough to say without examination.
One consideration would be evaluation of the prostate. Any enlargement - whether by infection or benign hypertrophy - can lead to a change in urinary function.
I would consider a physician evaluation starting with a urinalysis and digital rectal exam. This would be a reasonable starting point looking for infection as well as an enlarged prostate.
If negative, you can consider a cystoscopy to evaluate any anatomical abnormalities that can affect urinary flow.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
