Continual need to urinate after ejaculation
by leonski, May 12, 2006 12:00AM
For a number of years now I have on occasion found that shortly after ejaculating I have a chronice desire to urinate, this desire remains for around half an hour to an hour, even after urinating. The problem seems to occur more often after drink large amounts even if I have urinated shortly before sex. As I mentioned at the start I have suffered with this problem on and off for a number of years, over these years I have been tested for STI's but nothing has shown up. Could you possible give me some idea as to the cause of this problem. Thanks.

In addition to STDs, you want to ensure there isn't any prostate enlargement or infection.
A digital rectal exam, as well as a prostatic massage can all be considered to evaluate this.
If there is continued suspicion about the prostate, a transrectal ultrasound can be considered.
Metabolic disorders like diabetes or thyroid disorders can also be considered.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
