Q: Urinary Issues Related to Ejaculation: What You Need to Know

Hello： It is completely normal for both males and females to experience a sensation of frequent urination after ejaculation or erection. <br>Circumcision is only necessary if the original foreskin obstructs the exit; otherwise, having no foreskin covering the glans during an erec

Is there really no problem?!

Dr.
Hsu: Sorry to bother you again...
Basically, ejaculation or erection is caused by sympathetic nervous system stimulation.
The sympathetic nervous system also affects urination, similar to the feeling of needing to urinate when you are very nervous.
However, I find that when I continuously masturbate, I actually end up urinating...
Is that a problem? If I stop, the urge to urinate goes away, but if I keep going, I really do end up urinating...
>< Ejaculation is actually just a description; very few people can ejaculate as far as urinate.
For most, it really just seems to flow out.
Your situation should be normal, so you don't need to worry too much.
Will circumcision have a positive effect on ejaculation?

Hello: It is completely normal for both males and females to experience a sensation of frequent urination after ejaculation or erection.
Circumcision is only necessary if the original foreskin obstructs the exit; otherwise, having no foreskin covering the glans during an erection typically does not require surgery.
Even if surgery is performed, it does not affect ejaculation.
Note: Erection and ejaculation are caused by the coordination and stimulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
If you're interested in the detailed mechanisms, you can look it up online (it's quite complex).

Understanding urinary issues related to ejaculation can be complex, as it involves both physiological and psychological factors. The interplay between the sympathetic nervous system and the urinary system is crucial in understanding why certain sensations and responses occur during sexual arousal and ejaculation.

When a person experiences sexual arousal, the sympathetic nervous system is activated. This activation can lead to various physiological responses, including increased heart rate, heightened blood pressure, and changes in urinary function. For many individuals, this can manifest as a sensation of needing to urinate, especially if they are feeling anxious or tense. The connection between anxiety and the urge to urinate is well-documented; when a person is nervous, their body may react as if it needs to eliminate waste, leading to frequent trips to the bathroom.

In your case, the sensation of needing to urinate during or after ejaculation may be a normal response to the heightened sympathetic activity. It's not uncommon for individuals to experience a release of urine during ejaculation, especially if there is a strong urge to urinate beforehand. This can happen because the muscles that control urination and ejaculation are closely linked. The pelvic floor muscles, which are responsible for both functions, can sometimes contract in a way that leads to the expulsion of urine along with semen.
If you find that you are frequently urinating during masturbation or sexual activity, it may be helpful to consider a few factors. First, ensure that you are adequately hydrated but not overhydrated before engaging in sexual activity. Second, try to relax and reduce any anxiety you may have about the situation, as stress can exacerbate the urge to urinate. Lastly, if this issue persists or causes you distress, it may be beneficial to consult a healthcare professional who specializes in urology or sexual health. They can provide further insights and determine if there are any underlying conditions that need to be addressed.

Regarding your question about circumcision and its potential effects on ejaculation, research suggests that circumcision does not significantly affect sexual function or satisfaction for most individuals. Some studies indicate that circumcision may lead to a decrease in sensitivity for some men, while others report no change. Ultimately, the impact of circumcision on sexual health can vary widely among individuals. If you have concerns about how circumcision may affect your sexual experiences, discussing these with a healthcare provider can provide personalized guidance.

In conclusion, the sensations you are experiencing during ejaculation are likely normal and can be attributed to the complex interactions between the nervous system and the urinary system. If you continue to have concerns or if the sensations become bothersome, seeking advice from a medical professional can help clarify your situation and provide reassurance. Remember, open communication with healthcare providers about sexual health is essential for addressing any issues or questions you may have.
