Concerns About Urinary Issues After Masturbation: What You Need to Know

I'm very worried..?

Dr.
Hsu: I have noticed in the past few days that after masturbating and ejaculating, if I continue to masturbate, I feel the urge to urinate...
and eventually, I can't hold it in and end up urinating.
Is there something wrong with my kidneys?! Also, my ejaculation is more of a flow rather than a forceful expulsion, and it may only travel a short distance.
I have not undergone circumcision.
Does the distance of ejaculation relate to age and development? Or is it related to the presence of the foreskin? Or could it be related to kidney issues?

Hello, basically, ejaculation or erection is caused by sympathetic nervous system stimulation.
The sympathetic nervous system also affects urination, similar to how you may feel the urge to urinate when you are very nervous.
Ejaculation is actually just a description; very few people can ejaculate as far as urinate, and for most, it appears to just flow out.
Your situation should be considered normal, so there is no need to worry too much.

More Info

When it comes to concerns about urinary issues after masturbation, it’s important to understand the physiological processes involved and how they relate to your symptoms.
Firstly, the sensation of needing to urinate after ejaculation is not uncommon. During sexual arousal and ejaculation, various muscles in the pelvic region contract, including those around the bladder. This can create a feeling of urgency to urinate. If you continue to stimulate yourself after ejaculation, the pelvic muscles may still be in a state of contraction, which can lead to an increased sensation of needing to urinate. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with your kidneys or urinary tract; rather, it is a normal physiological response.

Regarding the nature of your ejaculation, the difference between "flowing out" and "shooting out" can be influenced by several factors, including age, hormonal levels, and the presence of foreskin. As males mature, the force of ejaculation can change. Younger males may experience less forceful ejaculation, which can be due to various factors such as hormonal levels and muscle control.
The presence of foreskin can also play a role in the mechanics of ejaculation. Some individuals may find that having foreskin affects the sensation and control during ejaculation, but this is highly individual. If you are concerned about the distance of your ejaculation, it is generally not a cause for concern unless accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or discomfort.

If you are experiencing persistent urinary urgency or any pain during urination, it would be wise to consult a healthcare professional. Conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), prostatitis, or other urinary tract issues can cause similar symptoms and should be evaluated by a doctor.
In summary, the sensations you are experiencing after masturbation are likely normal and related to the physiological responses of your body during sexual activity. However, if you have ongoing concerns about your urinary function or any other symptoms, seeking medical advice is always a good step to ensure your health and peace of mind.

Ejaculation is a quite intense pelvic activity. It shouldn't be excessive. It's important to have healthy recreational activities. If you feel really uncomfortable, you should definitely see a urologist for an examination.
