Kinda.. i was on tamsulosin for a while, and had retrograde ejaculation, which was very unsatisfying and felt a bit like ejaculating without climaxing, basically. Not really the same thing, but close enough for me to empathize, brother, i hope you get through this.. are you on anything that might explain it? Or was there a specific circumstance?
That sounds terrible. I was prescribed something for an enlarged prostate a few years ago but after it ran out I just quit drinking so much water before bed and it resolved the frequent trips in the night
No, nothing drug related it's just circumstantial. 11 days straight so far working out of state. Exhausted and missing a few hours of sleep. Cranky and want to be home.
Wanted to knock one out before going to bed as a little stress reliever. Even scrounged through some videos but nothing was really keeping my interest. Then my body was like 'surprises! alright, you're done, wrap it up'. And there was no rush or even like that little internal sigh you get. Just a blank space where the orgasm usually goes.
And a really weird, persistent feeling of uncomfortableness inside.
Definitely talk to your doctor
Go to a doctor. Get yourself checked.
Prostate cancer kills and youβre high risk.
Great, I'll just add that to the list of other potentially lethal conditions I've been avoiding the doctor about.
Oh. American huh?
Yeah, I got a bankruptcy amount of issues to see the doc about. Trying to put it off until I am out of debt (so I can accrue fresh debt).
What makes you worry about prostate cancer for op, in his post(s)? Curious to see the worrying clues...
Happened to my father in law and two years later he was dead. If I had just gone at the first sign, instead he waited a year. It's better to be safe than sorry.
History of frequent urination, enlarged prostate and unusual ejaculation. Likely higher risk age as well but not confirmed.
