excessive ejaculation

hello and thank you, this is a great forum! i'm 34, male, and monogamously active w/my girlfriend of 8 months. i travel often but last month i took some time off and subsequently we had sex more often, my question is: is it possible that excessive ejaculation can result in aggravation of the associated muscles involved in ejaculating? i started experiencing a nagging urge to urinate often w/little or no flow about a week ago, no pain or burning, and the sensation seems to alleviate if my bowel is full(i.e. need to go #2); 20 years ago when i was a kid i had the same problem, it lasted for months but eventually went away, one thing that helped back then was masturbating and "pulling back" just before climax; i'm aware that urgency is also a symptom of uti's, over-active bladder, and prostate problems, thank you for your time

Depends on what "excessive" means. Although I am not aware of a specific number, it makes sense that the more you use a specific muscle group, the greater the chance of aggravation or strain.
The urge to urinate can be caused by infection - a urinalysis can evaluate this possibility. I would also consider blood tests to check for diabetes and prostate problems. A blood test to test a fasting sugar level, as well as a digital rectal exam to evaluate the prostate should be considered.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
