Urination issues before and after ejaculation?
Hello Doctor: I am 20 years old and have phimosis when not erect.
When I am erect, the glans can be exposed a little, but it feels a bit tight.
If I can manually expose the glans, do I still need a circumcision? Also, during masturbation, I often feel the urge to urinate.
After ejaculation, I have a persistent urge to urinate intermittently.
How can I address this? Additionally, if I undergo circumcision, will the original length of my penis become shorter, or is it possible that it may not change at all?

It sounds like it does not affect sexual intercourse.
You can temporarily continue to observe.
Urinating before masturbation is fine, and circumcision does not affect penile length.

More Info
When it comes to urination issues before and after ejaculation, particularly in the context of phimosis (the condition where the foreskin cannot be fully retracted over the glans), there are several important factors to consider.
Firstly, it is essential to understand that phimosis can lead to discomfort during erections and sexual activity. In your case, since you mentioned that the glans can be partially exposed when erect but feels tight, this indicates that you may have a mild form of phimosis. If you can manually retract the foreskin without pain, it may not be necessary to undergo circumcision. However, if you experience pain, recurrent infections, or significant discomfort during sexual activity, consulting a urologist for a thorough evaluation is advisable.
Regarding the urge to urinate during masturbation and the sensation of needing to urinate after ejaculation, this can be attributed to several factors. The male reproductive and urinary systems share the same pathway, which can sometimes lead to confusion in signals. After ejaculation, the body may still have residual sensations that mimic the urge to urinate. This is often due to the contraction of the pelvic floor muscles and the prostate gland, which can create a feeling of urgency.
To alleviate this sensation, consider the following strategies:
1. Relaxation Techniques: Engaging in relaxation techniques before and during sexual activity can help reduce anxiety and the urgency to urinate. Deep breathing exercises may be beneficial.
2. Pelvic Floor Exercises: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through Kegel exercises can help improve control over urination and ejaculation. This may reduce the sensation of needing to urinate post-ejaculation.
3. Timing: Ensure that you empty your bladder before engaging in sexual activity or masturbation. This can help minimize the urge to urinate afterward.
4. Hydration: Monitor your fluid intake. Sometimes, excessive hydration can lead to increased urgency.
As for the concern about circumcision and its effect on penis length, it is a common misconception that circumcision will shorten the penis. In most cases, circumcision does not significantly alter the length of the penis. The foreskin is a fold of skin that covers the glans, and its removal does not affect the actual length of the penile shaft. However, some men may perceive a difference in length due to the exposure of the glans after circumcision.
In conclusion, if you are experiencing discomfort or have concerns about your phimosis and urination issues, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice and treatment options based on your specific situation. If circumcision is recommended, your doctor will explain the procedure, potential benefits, and any risks involved. Always prioritize open communication with your healthcare provider to address any concerns you may have regarding your sexual health and well-being.

It is recommended that when ejaculation occurs, do not apply pressure to the glans; instead, prepare a tissue to catch the semen. This will allow for normal ejaculation.
